5.0 out of 5 stars light as a feather!

I've had my 21" carry-on for coming on two years now, and absolutely love it. It's lightweight, maneuverable, easy to check or carry on, and holds what I need. The bright color options are an added bonus for spotting it quickly on the baggage carousel.

I've flown with this coast to coast and also to Hawai'i multiple times, as well as a dozen or so jaunts up and down the coast, and this case holds what I need for a weekend or even a week and a half (I don't use cubes, but a rolling method). I've also packed it with my clothes, then stuffed it into a larger case so as to have less to carry on my way to my destination and more room for souvenirs on the way home.

When I carry it onto the plane, it's fit properly sideways in the overhead compartments for all but the smallest planes, so I needn't worry about taking more than my fair share of space.

One zipper tab was broken while checked last year, but it's still fully functional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight Quality

This luggage is truly lightweight. Spouse has had an *airplane set* (carry-on suitcase and under-seat duo) for a couple of months and he appreciates the quality--lots of zippered compartments, sturdy construction, easy to maneuver and schlep for his weekly work-related trips He's also pleased with the dark burgundy color. So far, so good.

Now I have a mocha *airplane set*. Haven't flown in years, but these pieces should be great for train and automobile travel as well as weekends with the grandkids. First car trip coming soon--will update.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice lightweight carry on luggage bag

Size: Compact Carry-on 20-InchColor: Slate GreenVerified Purchase
I am a senior that was looking for a very lightweight carry on bag that was also sturdy enough if I decided to check it. This bag is very lightweight at 5.1 lbs, has spinner wheels and is easy to manuever. The handle feels sturdy and is easy to use. Also got the matching underseater and returned it. Too heavy, only 2 wheels that did not roll easily and did not have much room. Also very leary if it will actually fit under a set.

I love this suitcase! It is small, but mighty! Holds a surprising amount, and is lightweight and sturdy. I've had mine for about a year and love it so far. It has been on about 6 plane flights and held up beautifully.

This bag does what is meant to: glides smoothly, packs lots inside, and look goods with a sturdy and lightweight style. It has useful pockets on the outside and a good telescoping handle that works well and locks securely. Fits in all the overhead compartments I've come across on planes, and on Amtrak trains. Would highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars good capacity, much sturdier than it looks, fits how you need it to fit

Size: Checked-Medium 25-InchColor: Slate GreenVerified Purchase
A lightweight, well-balanced "one week" suitcase. Very good.
I put mine through a LOT this year on two complex global itineraries. It doesn't show any damage of any kind, still rolls beautifully, and was never any source of frustration. It's amazingly light (empty).

The tapered shape is very effective (if packed correctly) at making sure your suitcase with stacked carryon won't fall over. Like all spinner (quad wheel) designs, it takes a little extra effort on rough pavement or over large gaps. Not enough to be frustrating, but you have to pay attention to "jump" it across the gaps or it may get stuck.

This is the largest size suitcase I consider "manageable":
* It'll fit (all 4 wheels) on the step of every escalator I took it on (at least two dozen)
* It'll fit properly in the Amtrak end-of-car luggage racks (both NEC Regional and Acela)
* It'll fit (tight) between the facing seats on the New York LIRR
* It fit in the cargo area of all types of small taxis around the world
* It fit through the hatch and in the narrow back end of a seaplane without any theatrics.
* And not so large that it'll lend itself to overpacking past the checked weight limit

If that wasn't enough, it also went through transfers, sorting, load&unload in all kinds of temperature extremes, long haul flights, big airports, dinky little airports, being checked & transferred a dozen times. Held up like a champ. Better than me, possibly.

Other thoughts:
I'd characterize this as week-long suitcase. But for solo travelers, if you're a low-maintenance or high-density packer, don't do much shopping, and have a carry-on also? Comfortably 9-14 days, verified personally.
For a couple packing together it's probably less, 4-6 days?

If you're not carrying breakables, I think this sort of nylon construction is "easier" to work with than a hardside. It has some flex and some ability to squish, the expansion zipper works well, it's easy to pack w/o any special techniques.

I've used Traevelpro's other products, but this first maxlite piece has me already ordering another size.
Highly Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight & easy to roll

Size: Compact Carry-on 20-InchColor: Shadow GreyVerified Purchase
I have traveled with a small rolling bag for years. I bought this bag for an upcoming trip with stricter carry-on requirements & am so happy with it! I love that it opens like a duffel bag (& not a clamshell). It is easy to access everything & easy to open & close. I like that in the hotel room, I only need space for the suitcase (not double the space so my suitcase can lay flat). I also like how lightweight this suitcase is. I took it on a train & through the city - in & out of cabs & Ubers. So easy to roll & really, really light. I didn't pack it overly full, but it does have an expander. Great suitcase!

Size: Carry-on 19-InchColor: BlackVerified Purchase
I used this to travel alone for a 5 day trip to North Carolina, so I didn't need alot. But it held so much, even without using packing cubes. The best part was the ease of moving thru the airport, the extended handle didn't collapse (I have a larger Swiss brand bag and the handle not staying locked is a real problem), the case turned when I needed it to and even with it packed I could lift it into the overhead easily. And it fit!!! Definitely a good purchase, and I looked at many bags. Given I don't travel extensively this suitcase should last a long time. Would recommend for anyone looking for a carry-on (classy looking too).

5.0 out of 5 stars Deceptively small

I'm very impressed with this. Took this to Costa Rica for a ten-day research trip, and it fit all the clothes I needed plus some small gear (trail cams and batteries). Especially when used with compression packing cubes, this little thing can hold a LOT. I didn't even have to use the expansion, and the zippers held up well and didn't feel strained at all. Here's the list of what-all I put in it (all clothes were ranger-rolled):
- 2 or 3 pairs of jeans
- 1 pair of sweatpants
- 3 short sleeved t shirts
- 2 long sleeved hiking shirts
- 1 pair of sneakers
- 5 or 6 pairs of underwear and socks
- 1 trail camera
- 3 Amazon Basics boxes of AA alkaline batteries
- 1 rainjacket
- 1 stuffed toy, about 10x9.5x2.5 inches
- 1 broad brimmed hat
- 1 pair of hiking gaiters
- 1 swimsuit and short sleeved rash guard
- 1 thin hoodie

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT LUGGAGE. AMAZON DELIVERY SPEED USELESS AND INDIFFERENT
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2024
Size: Checked-Large 29-InchColor: Azure BlueVerified Purchase
Exceptional, attractive, great size and sturdy for cost.

Buy elsewhere if possible or leave a long time for delivery. Amazon fell short on delivery time and arrival date even after allowing delivery trouble. I bought something local in a two-hour delivery, which was a waste of money.

I could not cancel since the delivery ether that tracking showed was not near, so as usual, Amazon's cancel and return policy is terrible and only for them and never customers.
