Know before you buy
At 22.7" x 15" x 9", this suitcase is designed to meet standard carry-on requirements for most major airlines. However, we always recommend checking your specific airline's size limits before flying, especially for smaller regional aircraft.
The interior features a quick-action compression system that allows you to cinch down your belongings, helping you maximize the 48L capacity and keep your clothes organized and secure during transit.
The Carry-On Max uses high-quality Hinomoto miraclent® ball-bearing wheels, which are designed for long-term durability and a silent ride. While they are built to last, the modular design allows for easier maintenance compared to standard integrated wheels.
Makrolon® is an industry-leading polycarbonate known for its high impact resistance and durability. While no hard-shell suitcase is completely immune to surface scuffs from baggage handling, this material is specifically chosen to resist cracking and maintain its structural integrity.
The dedicated smart tracker pocket is designed to securely house a tracking device like an AirTag or Tile. It keeps the tracker discreetly tucked away so you can monitor your luggage location without the device shifting or being easily visible.
Yes, the triangular trolley system is engineered for stability and features four height settings with virtually no play. This design provides a more rigid, wobble-free experience compared to traditional single-tube or standard dual-tube handles.
