7786 Hardside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels, Black, Carry-On 20-Inch

My wife and I are the kind of travelers who try to just take 2 carry-ons when we fly. Weve got some soft-sided expandable ones that can turn into checked baggage if we buy too many souvenirs, but airline rules keep getting fiddlier about what sizes they accept, so we thought this was a good way to keep us honest. This one expands, but not so far that it wont fit in the overhead bins.

SwissGear Carry-On 20-Inch, Black

I happened to come across this Swissgear 20 inch carry on the week before we were going on vacation. My 8 year old son didn’t have a suitcase and I was planning on just using some big duffel bags prior getting to this.

Like other SwissGear products, this carry-on luggage has premium quality. At every corner and seam, it is made perfectly. It has an elegant and durable design. Its lightweight, but it feels sturdy. Similar to its backpack design, it features numerous pockets in the zippered divider. With the four spinner wheels, it can be rolled smoothly and effortlessly. I cant wait to carry it on my next trip.

I love the hard sided suitcase and I was the last in the family to get my own carry on. This is our 4th carry-on so it’s easy for me to compare features. This one is almost perfect in size, design, and various compartments. The only thing it is missing, in my opinion, is a built-in TSA lock. Otherwise, it’s expandable, plenty of interior pockets, and easy to maneuver.

We often travel for work, short and long distances, fly or drive and typically stay in between 3-10 days range. I prefer to avoid checking my luggage most of the time, for that reason was just looking for a new reliable carry-on that is durable and provides plenty of space I need for up to 10 days of stay. This was the hit! This carry-on luggage fits well in the overhead bin, backseat, front seat, truck bed, pretty much every spot I tried to tuck it in, it fit with ease and is reasonably lightweight itself, so you are not adding more weight to what you carry. Exterior is hard material that is extremely durable and very well made.

The exterior is sturdy, but does not take away from the internal space. It extends about 2-3 inches as well. I went on vacation with this thing stuffed to the brim and it was still easy to travel with. Best purchase I could have made.

This is lightweight and easy to roll. I realize this is for carry-on so it probably wont get bumped around a lot but the plastic shell seems very thin and flimsy. It is a good size and easy to move around.

Both my mom and my husband thought this bag was even more expensive than it actually is. It just looks and feels expensive because it’s so lacquered and sleek and nice.

So this is one of those carry-on suitcases that you can expand if you need to (or stuff it full, sit on it, and then zip the expansion back full heheh) thats also hard-sided to protect the inside. Its loaded with features including shoe pockets!!! I really like it and hope to take it on more trips in the future. So far its only taken two flights and held up well both times. You can really wheel it around any way you like, and its nimble and easy to maneuver even when I had to take it with me into an airport bathroom stall. Zipper jammed a little wee bit the first time I zipped it all the way shut (no I was not sitting on it trying to overstuff it!) but zero problems since then.
