Cons Dimensions exceed airline standards, heavyVery pricey, prone to scratch and dent, not completely water resistant, doesn't expandStubborn zippers, only two wheels, slightly unstable when standing up, trolley handle is somewhat thin and wobbly, not completely water-resistantExpensive, heavyGlossy shell prone to scratch, thin wobbly trolley handle, very basic storage features, stubborn zipper, pricey
Bottom Line A super versatile and functional bag that is durably built and makes travel easyA super swanky carry-on that is equally rugged and fashionable - and let's not forget… expensiveFrom airports to the outdoors, you'll have the freedom to roll, carry, or backpack your stuff to wherever, making the journey as much fun as the destinationA high-end, super durable bag with plenty of smart features and a surprising amount of space with a premium price tag to matchA very high-end spinner that is big on quality, rolls with grace, but is a little bare when it comes to interior packing system
