Travelpro Luggage International Carry-on, Shadow Black

A really good carry on. Wheels are very smooth, handles are in the right place and the bag is strong and can be packed with a lot of pressure.

this is the best carryon I have ever owned. It is the perfect size, it is well designed for easy packing, the outside computer and utility pockets are super handy. I use the side pocket for my passport and phone when I am moving through airports. Nice work Travelpro.

Previous Samsonite spinner I'd been very happy with for 7-8 years died a front zipper fail death so thought i'd look for something modern and more tailored to what I was carrying. TravelPro zippers seem very sturdy compared to my old spinner.The TravelPro has so many useful little extra features that tie together into a great package to keep your stuff neat going into and out of different transport.Just back from 3 weeks in Japan where in one day we changed transport types 6 times and between all these was often a longish walk. The self forward aligning wheels are much easier to get through train gates when your pulling another main case as you can just push it forward ahead of you while finding tickets and RFID passes etc to open the gate.The little gadget mesh holders that tension down to compress what's below them works well and the clear plastic zip out whilst ostensibly for toiletries / wet pack made a great 'pills case' for medications etc.The wheels traversed the visually impaired ripple strips all over the stations with ease and it handled well in 2 wheel pull mode when doing a fast transfer.Improvements I could suggest for the next generation would be:1. The wheels on the front edge sometimes magnetically 'stow' into their wheel wells which with a laptop in the front laptop storage did make the bag front heavy, it fell over that way a couple of times. Reassess center of gravity2. Add either a padded removable sleeve or some more padding to the front of the laptop bay.

I received the luggage in perfect shape, despite being "used/good", at less than half the price. It was definitely worth taking a chance!The luggage is high quality, very solid, great wheels, stable handle, luxurious leather handle. I won't go back to cheap luggage after this, the ease of use of a better luggage is too great. The power bank sleeve and suit folder are great additions.

3 years later and this is still going strong. The wheels are so smooth and I never have any trouble gliding around the airports.The outside pocket fits my laptop and is easy access as I tend to work on the plane. Thoughtful details like the bottom handle to lift is a great feature.The handle has also been solid and I like the different lengths.It took some getting used to with the opening not quite to the edge, but I’ve now learned to stuff things around the edges that allow me to put a lot in the suitcase.Definitely recommend and would buy again
