Travelers Choice Pagosa Hardshell Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels Lavender 22-Inch Carry-on

Purchased four (4) of the 22” carryon size on Prime Day for $65 each. Arrived wrapped in plastic and boxed on a recycled cardboard box and reboxed again for shipping in an Amazon box – all arrived in perfect condition. Initial impression – SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT – 50% lighter than our other carryons, flexible hardshell – looks like if it takes a hit it shouldn’t dent or crack, wheels spin 360 and it rolls super quiet and smooth – I am worried that if we checked it in and it got tossed around and mixed in a big pile in the fuselage the wheels would get broken off? But if we are in control there should be no issues, with handle extended to any of the three heights it can roll on all four wheel or tilted on two – the case is too flexible for you or a kid to sit on the bag while waiting or while rolling it. It has a center zipper that allows or 2” expansion but since its not a hard joint the suitcase can flex a bit. The main zipper is a quality metal zipper and teeth that the zipper heads can snap into a locking mechanism (this is a TSA lock that as owner you can lock with a combo but the TSA use a master key to open so its secure and compliant), it has a charging port which is somewhat misleading and silly: if you have your phone and you need to charge it in the airport you would either plug it into the wall using a charger OR plug it not a portable charging battery. The suit case DOESNOT include a charging battery – it simply has a built in pocket that can hold the portable charging battery inside the bag that plugs into an internal cable that is terminated into a regular usb plug visible on the outside of the bag which has both a USB and USB 2.0 plug outlet which you then can plug your phone into – the same could have been achieved by simply having a zipper pouch to inside the battery into or placing the battery in your pocket/bag/purse/onlap … so it’s nothing more than an extension cord or more so a gimmick. The build quality is very nice and it all feels durable although the way the handles are made they have exposed ends that look like they could hang up on something and get torn off is checked in – really poor design. The interiors are highly detailed – lined with multiple storage bags/compartments/dividers – my wife and kids really like that – me I would unzip/remove and just fil’r up. Bought the Navy Blue – its attractive and clean and modern looking. Highly recommended. Read more

Great little bag, and officially my first piece of well designed luggage! I took this on a two and a half week trip to Rome Italy. During that trip we were on trains, busses, subways taxis, Ubers, you name it - and this little bag went nearly everywhere with us. The bag is so well thought out that it makes packing and organizing a breeze. I didn't have to really think where stuff "should go" the bag just uses every inch intelligently so that you can fit the most amount of stuff. I did not bother with the USB charging portion as I like to keep those items on my person in my personal backpack. The bag itself though held up well to a lot of abuse. My biggest pro however - was the maneuverability. The bag just slipped in and out of the tightest places without inconveniencing many people. Anyone who travels a lot will appreciate how little this bag annoys other people in tight spaces. The material is a little cheap feeling at times but for me that's OK. It's a purposeful piece of luggage, and I feel like there are thousands that look like it - so good luck at the airport carousel! Well worth the price at the end of the day. Extremely happy with my purchase. Read more

Very sturdy, long lasting, and stylish. I love this carry on - it expands and holds twice its size! I'm rough on my luggage bc I travel for work and this has been my best carry on. Read more

Note: I purchased a "returned" suitcase at a discounted price. It was missing the plastic travel bag and had a minor scuff (both no issue) BUT only 1 of the 2 ports for the charger worked. I have a workaround device so It's ok but be sure to test the ports asap. My USB-C port was loose and wouldn't charge because the slot was too large. RE the suitcase it's pretty good for the price. It's lightweight polypropylene not polycarbonate. The internal stitching is a little large but no loose threads. I really like the light gray liner-small dark items don't get lost. The overall layout is great and well conceived with several useful pockets and 2 built-in stow sacks. The zippers work well inside and out. The size is as reported in the description. The wheels seem to be durable and it moves easily on carpet and hard surfaces. The rounded corners allow more packing space and it expands 2" easily if needed. The handle has a little give but no more than my expensive but heavy TravelPro. I'm not sure it's the suitcase for a frequent traveler but for someone who travels infrequently it's a decent suitcase for the price. Read more

I Love this thing! So many pockets and fits so more than expected. Rolls with the push of my pinky. Fantastic quality and colors are bright. Ended up purchasing all 3 sizes Read more

LOVE the color! Incredible quality for the price. The suitcase set is stylish, durable, and practical. Rolls easy. Zippered compartments inside the suitcases are great for packing. I love that the color stands out and makes it easy to identify when I check my bags. I have brought the suitcases on a few trips already and can tell they are durable and should last well. Read more
