Know before you buy
Yes, at 22" x 15" x 9", this suitcase is designed to meet the standard carry-on size requirements for most major airlines. However, it is always a good idea to check your specific airline's policy before flying, especially on smaller regional aircraft.
The expansion feature increases the total capacity from 42.5 liters to 48.4 liters. This extra room is ideal for packing souvenirs or extra layers for your return trip.
This model features two rugged, inline-style wheels. While they don't spin 360 degrees, they are designed for durability and stability when rolling over uneven surfaces or airport curbs.
The bag is crafted from 600-denier, water-resistant recycled polyester. It is designed to handle light rain and splashes, keeping your belongings protected during transit, though it is not fully waterproof if submerged.
No, this model does not come with a built-in lock. If you need to secure your luggage, you will need to use your own TSA-approved luggage lock on the zipper pulls.
The interior features mesh and zippered pockets to help separate smaller items, along with elastic compression straps that keep your clothes securely in place and prevent shifting during travel.
