Osprey makes some great roll aboard bags that have backpack straps which are convenient for stairs, rough paths… or just moving faster through the airport. To boot they have a great lifetime guarantee to replace or fix their bags.
I'm keeping the one and only rolling suitcase - a simple Swissgear one I've had for years. It's small enough to usually fit in the overhead bin, but it's just my if I really need it bag. I normally just do backpack and sling! Hate having to wait to get at my bags up there, vs just walking out with a little backpack.
I picked up the Maxlite Air Compact Carry-On Hardside Spinner from Travelpro around a year ago and I'm really surprised I'm not seeing more reviewers talking about it. It has the two things I want most out of a suitcase: excellent wheels (way better than the Monos I also tried), and it's very lightweight (6.1lb/2.7kg). It also meets the size requirements of most major airlines, which is not something I'm interested in trying to squeak by on -- travel is stressful enough without having to worry about whether or not someone will catch you for breaking their very clear rules.
Great review. I do think Paravel smokes a lot of these. As someone who prefers rolling luggage to a backpack, I've been traveling with their lightweight, durable bags for years. They have a Carry-On and a Carry-On Plus (my fave) and their checked luggage comes in a large size and now they even have a trunk that you can get a packing cube system for (if you're a travel maximalist and into that). I have found that the Paravel Carry-On Plus is super light, durable, and they use recycled/upcycled materials and are more sustainable. I have traveled all over the world with their bags. (Recently, I splurged on a fancy Db Ramverk Pro rolling suitcase and have taken it on three trips and it's completely thrashed and I was nothing but disappointed. Paravel all the way for me!)
I have been traveling with a Samsonite Elevation Plus Spinner domestically at least once a month this past year and it's been great. Like the hardside compartment for my laptop and ability to expand it needed, but I usually do not need it. I can fit my 15 laptop no problem with room for a tablet.
I have a Victorinox carry on that finally broke after 20 years of routine travel (4 to 8 trips a year). Victorinox, Briggs and Riley, Travel Pro, Tumi, Rimowa are all high quality durable goats of the travel industry. I can guarantee that all the bags mentioned here will not make 3 years without needing to be replaced.
Some of these bags are so expensive! me personally I'm not paying more then $100-$150 for a carry on size bag that's going to get used maybe twice a year. ill go with some off brand that does the same job for a fraction of the price
Because the bag sizers are bigger than the official measurements. I have an Away Larger Carry On. It's dimensions are larger than what any US airlines say I can bring, but it fits in the sizers and any of the overhead bins that other carryons fit.
I have become to dislike 4 wheel suit cases, they are fine on smooth surfaces, but useless anywhere else. I much prefer my two wheeled Briggs and Riley cases. I see people pulling 4 wheel cases on just two wheels and I really can't see them surviving such punishment.
At 1 point early in my career I lived in Manhattan and works in Europe and flew back and forth quite often I know it sounds crazy... .I had Briggs and Riley and expense account that would cover valets and red caps. Brooks and Riley are like tanks and have nifty assets like being able to switch out the wheels if there's a problem.. but they are heavy as heck and I have not traveled with them since.!!
Zuca is great on paper but awful for actual travel. Who wants a bag that weighs 15lbs when empty? Many airlines cap the weight of a carry on at 15lbs or 20lbs. You risk having the bag forcibly checked. Not worth it for leisure travel. Maybe fine for a pilot or cabin crew who don't face weight/size limits.
@@dand5829 I've used one for over 10 years. Never had a problem. Easily self-repaired any parts that broke. The seat is great when you need to use an outlet in a hallway or wait in the boarding queue.
@@dand5829 I've had a zuca for more than 10 years. Easy to self-repair when something breaks. Works great as a seat when you need to use an outlet in an airport hallway or wait at the gate. Fits in carry on for all the airlines I've dealt with.
Do you prefer travel backpacks or rolling luggage? 🧳🎒
Have you guys ever reviewed hybrids? I'm keen to know if there are any good ones out there.

What about options with removable wheels? Its such a simple solution to prevent them from getting obliterated in airports.

How's the handle?
I cannot believe Travel pro didn’t make the list!!!
Thank you. I didn’t know about the Thule so I’m happy to have discovered it.
That's my favorite one too❤
Thanks for watching! 😃
These were all cool and unique!!! Cool choice

Too big and heavy for international travel

Thanks for sharing your insights 🤙
Which one of these bags is best for universal carry on sizes? I don't really want to buy more than suitcase
No brigs and riley?
Love your content! 🙏🏻Diaper backpack reviews, please!
Flying out of Australia when there s a 7kg limit with most airlines none of these bags work for me. 🤷♀️
They expect everyone to use backpacks?? These airlines are getting ridiculous with their weight and carry on policies
What do yall do with all this gear once youre done reviewing it?
Also, could yall do a video on eSims? Idk if that fits the channel, but it would be great for those Intl. Voyagers!
@@Dr.ZoidbergPhDI have traveled internationally several times recently and have used Airalo, very good in my opinion
Carry on but all they all exceed dimensions? Rename the video!
5:42 how do you charge the battery pack once it has drained

No Briggs & Riley or Travelpro? Traditionally the two most common carryon bag brands for flight attendants aren’t reviewed here?🤔
The best carry-on suitcase is none. jkjkkjk.
😂😂😂
I am surprised Monos is not on this list. They are great. I love mine.
Me too
Could you please do Mystery Ranch
Off topic.....girl....your looking gorgeous....your glowing
No Monos?? Interesting I see it everywhere as one of the best, I’m a backpack person , but still odd no mention to Monos
I'm wondering the same thing lol
@@socialcmsilva feels a bit sponsored / biased *cough cough Aer…*
Also no briggs and riley
Cute haircut!!!!
Sad there's only one proper two-wheeler.
I'd like to see all the models tested against these, so many missing brands.
If they don’t meet most regs for carry on how is this a carry on video lol

Cool story
You can literally use the two wheels instead of 4
Any comparison that doesn’t include Briggs & Riley isn’t serious.

No real traveler wants a 9.5 pound carry on. These reviews are getting ridiculous
Only 15 lbs for international travel 💀
Weak. No zuca?
