What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the exceptional durability and rugged construction of this carry on, noting it feels built to last through serious travel.

Know before you buy
Yes, the 22-inch height is designed to meet standard carry-on size regulations for most major U.S. carriers. However, it is always a good idea to check specific airline requirements if you are flying on smaller regional jets.
The front-panel sleeve is padded to provide a buffer against minor impacts during transit. It is sized to accommodate laptops up to 15 inches.
The bag is constructed from durable, weatherproof materials designed to repel light rain and moisture. While it will keep your gear dry in typical transit conditions, it is not fully submersible or waterproof in heavy downpours.
Not at all. The side-opening, clamshell-style design allows you to lay the bag flat on a bed or floor, making it easy to see and access all your belongings at once. Internal mesh dividers and compression straps help keep everything organized and in place while you pack.
The HighRoad LT chassis is a lightweight, high-clearance frame that provides a stable base for the wheels. It is engineered to handle the wear and tear of frequent travel while keeping the overall weight of the bag low.
The hidden RFID security pocket is tucked inside the laptop sleeve. It is specifically sized to keep your passport and wallet secure and easily accessible while you are moving through the airport.
