The Bigger Carry-On Flex Suitcase
Best expandable luggage for frequent travelers seeking durability and style.
Perfect for trips up to one week, this durable hardshell carry-on suitcase features a wraparound expandable zipper that creates 2 1/4" of extra packing space. This suitcase is designed to fit 6–10 outfits. It meets carry-on requirements for most US airlines and can be checked when expanded. The hardshell exterior is made of water-repellent polycarbonate that's lightweight yet durable. Smooth 360° spinner wheels allow for maximum maneuverability and are tough enough for pavement and cobblestone. The sturdy, quick-release trolley handle features two adjustable height settings. The underside grab handle makes for easy lifting at the baggage carousel. The patented interior compression system maximizes your packing space and features three mesh pockets and one hanging pocket. Ergonomic zipper pulls, a water-repellent drawstring laundry bag, and a leather luggage tag are included special features.
