SwissGearSion Softside Expandable Luggage, Black, Carry-On 21-Inch

I’m so glad to have found this large quality soft side luggage at a very affordable price! I had used Samsonite soft side luggage before, but bought a large hard shell when the soft side was wearing down after a decade of use. The hard shell turned out to be a mistake. It was harder to pack, suffered damage to its wheels because of its oversized height, and finally was shattered at a corner that included one of the wheels! Fortunately the Oceania cruise ship had someone who could expertly glue it back enough for the return flight. So I bought a Swissgear unit for checked baggage. I couldn’t be happier! On a recent trip it suffered no stress or damage through six airports and 3 cruise ship handlings. It was easily maneuverable, easier to pack, held as much if not more than the hard shell, and included a waterproof pouch for sundries.

This SwissGear luggage is exactly what I needed for long trips. It’s lightweight, durable, and very roomy — the expandable feature is a big plus! The wheels glide smoothly, and the handles feel sturdy. I also love all the extra compartments that help keep things organized. Stylish, functional, and built to last — highly recommend!

I have used this luggage a few times and it is perfect for carryon size. I travel frequently and my luggage get damage a lot and so far this one is holding on. It is a good value for the money

I bought the Teal and I must say that it is a beautiful shade. I really only use this size when I do a long weekend trip. This one is slightly smaller inside than the suitcase I'm replacing, so I have to do a tad more smashing to get everything in that I normally take on these trips and would not have managed without the expansion area. It does not come with any sort of hanger wardrobe, which I knew going in, but luckily one of my other ones does fit, just barely. The only part that I'm not sure about is the handle, as it feels a bit flimsy and wobbly when wheeling the suitcase around. I'm crossing my fingers, hoping it holds up over time.

I bought this for a recent long distance trip where I needed a carry on for quick flight changes due to a short connection time in Tokyo. At first I was concerned for space, but after searching for tips online and carefully choosing items for the trip, I found this suitcase more than took care of my needs. The handle and smooth rolling action made it easy to travel with along with handles in strategic locations to help for easy overhead storage. This suitcase easily survived my adventure and I intend on using this for years to come. Amazing what you can pack in this if you take some time to plan carefully.

We used this twice already. Once internationally and once within the US and it worked so great!! It was so easy to maneuver and was so durable! The size worked great for a two week trip!

Excellent storage space for a carry-on. I checked lots of other carry-on's and although this is airport regulation size - there is an inch or two more room which can make a big differance.

The quality of the bag itself is very good. It's held up on the last 30 trips. The handleis a different story. The handle moves a lot if it's at full extension and even more if it's at partial extension. Being the part that you interact with the most, this is an annoying feature. The handle hasn't broken yet, but I have had multiple occasions where the button wouldn't unlock it and I couldn't easily get the handle back in the stored position. Love the bag, hate the handle.
