Travelpro Maxlite 5 Softside Expandable Luggage with 4 Spinner Wheels Lightweight Suitcase Men and Women Black Carry-on 21-Inch

Move over Samsonite! Travelpro is now the champion of lightweight and quality luggage! Since the 1970’s, we’ve always opted for Samsonite for their quality and durability. However, my old large sized Samsonite which is still in excellent condition, has become way too heavy for me. Did my research, found this Travelpro and so glad I did! I bought the medium one which is plenty roomy for extended trips (I’ll use my small Samsonite for short overnight trips). I can literally lift my new Travelpro with one finger! It’s that light! The wheels roll and swivel easily and the handles are padded for comfort. It has your standard zipper pockets on the inside and out and the zippers appear high quality and glide smoothly. Don’t waste your money on any others if you want the most lightweight suitcase that looks nice and is high quality. You can’t beat the price either. Lightweight Samsonites cost over $400!!! Who would pay that much for luggage! Can’t wait to take my next trip with my new Travelpro!! Read more

I've had my Travelpro for several years now and got one for my husband. It's the best carry-on luggage I've owned. What stands out is its light weight, the functional spinning wheels, convenient handles and especially an oversized exterior pocket that can hold a large laptop, making the laptop accessible without having to open the main compartment. In addition, there's a smaller exterior pocket where I put headphones, chargers and other small items I typically need while flying, again without having to open the main compartment. The main compartment is ample and somewhat expandable, allowing me to pack a long weekend's worth of outfits, including a change of shoes. For me, packing for five days in winter would be a stretch, but I could probably pack for a five-day summer trip with this this luggage plus a backpack, thus avoiding having to check any bags on a plane.

Bought it for my wife for Christmas and it was the gift she was most excited about. Very light, looks good, rolls well, etc. Very happy with this purchase. Read more

This is replacing a hard side bag. Didn’t like the hard side. Haven’t used this yet but it feels lightweight. Has outside pockets which, of course the hard side does not have. the expandable part seems larger at one end due to slant of bag I guess. I haven’t used this yet, but it moves easily, seems sturdy and looks like it will have a good amount of room to pack, especially with the expandable part. it has lots of inner and outer pockets for organization. The zippers seem sturdy. Seems much smaller than the 21 inch Kensington, London fog bag. That was my favorite but the wheels were apparently damaged by the airline and now they don’t make it anymore. I am giving away the 21 in hard side bag I bought and took one trip with. I really don’t like hard side bags. I never had one before but I miss the outside pockets and the give that a soft side bag has. I haven’t used this yet, but I’m hoping it will last as long as my old Kensington London fog bag.! That lasted seven years before the airlines wrecked the wheels. The London fog bag was plaid. This bag is blue – very attractive. Plus, I found that the wheelchair people at the airport who kindly helped me get my bag at baggage claim did not understand what plaid was. So I’m going to take a picture of my bag so they will know what it looks like. Although a solid blue is easier to identify for those not familiar with patterns, and non-English speakers. Happy trails! Read more

So far so good -- I got this for a 4 day business trip to replace my very old carry-on and I am quite happy. It's lightweight, fits easily in the overhead compartment, and I was worried it would be smaller than I expected but it actually felt very spacious and usable for my needs, even though I think my former carryon was slightly larger. The wheels are smooth and it's so easy to navigate the airport and plane with this. Read more

Talk about a spinner! The wheels on this suitcase are incredible and are so nimble when carting it around the airport, to hotels, or through city streets! I typically struggle lifting my bag into the overhead bins on a plane, but with the weight of this suitcase, I can do so with ease! I’ve found that I prefer a soft-sided suitcase and love how durable this fabric is. I do know that the green color may stain over time, but love how stylish it looks for now, and that it stands out amongst the sea of black and charcoal gray. If you’re not used to an international sized suitcase, you may struggle with space in this one! Though I researched extensively to find a spinner that met 22x14x9” dimensions, the interior does feel smaller than other bags I’ve had. Overall, I look forward to using this spinner as my carryon for years to come! Read more

Great carry-on! Light weight, very nice color, well made, and cute :). Definitely recommend! Read more

I’m on my first trip with this luggage and I’m already in love with it. Zippers are smooth and easy to pull. Is the perfect size to hold even my 16” laptop but still fit easily into the overhead bin. The handle lifts easily and best thing closes easily. The spinner wheels move with you at all times. Don’t get stuck even on eleven on uneven terrain. I love the little zippered net pocket on the inside of the suitcase. Easily keeps little things where they belong and not moving all over the suitcase. I also bought the under the seat side bag and when I slide it over the handle the suitcase doesn’t fall over. That’s amazing to me after my last luggage. The outside handles are placed to make lifting the bag into the overhead compartment a breeze even when it’s full (and I’m a 60 year old woman). The little zipper pocket on the outside is perfect for holding my passport and cellphone. The exterior pocket on the whole panel fits my laptop perfectly. No more having to vary my backpack to accommodate it. I love the pretty pink color. I can definitely find my bag amongst all the other luggage on carousels and ferries. Very happy with all of the features for a great priced piece of luggage. Will be asking for the accompanying pieces for Christmas and birthday Read more
