Birmingham Ballistic Nylon Expandable Rollaboard Luggage, Red, Carry-on 21-Inch

So far, so good, but I withheld one star for the moment only because I only took it on one European trip so I dont have a lot of data on its durability yet. Im not too knowledgeable on luggage, but what I found on the internet said that nylon is preferable to polyester for soft sided luggage. Nylon may scuff, but is much less likely to rip than polyester. The other nylon bags of this size I could find seemed to be in the $200 price range. This one was nylon in the $100 price range, the price at which the competition is polyester bags. It also said to look at the denier rating (thickness) of the material, suggesting you look for one in the 500 – 2,000 denier range. This bag is 1680 denier, which is pretty thick on that scale.

1 trip and break some part (zipper)

Excellent piece of luggage! Cant believe how much fit inside!

I got this cause I wanted to finally have an awesome carry-on for plane flights. This bag fit that bill perfectly. I really like the layout of the pockets and handles, it seems like everything was quite well thought out. Several of the zippers have little recesses when closed which is neat and there is even a little pop out tag to put your name and info on, and it meets the size requirements of air flight carry-ons which was a must. It also has some nice orange trim which helps it stand out. Overall I am very pleased with this item.

I havent used this luggage yet. I appears to be well made. Time will tell.

This case fit perfectly in the airplanes overhead bin and love the red color since it is easy to spot. Holds plenty and has several pockets to put your things. Wish the lower zipper pocket on the front opened different to make it easier to put something in it. But overall love the case.

I really like how sturdy the bag is made and its a pretty shade of red. I wish it would have been true to size. Unfortunately Im returning the bag because there have been multiple iterations of the Birmingham and the one I received through the warehouse was not like the one pictured. The one I received had large bulky handles on the top and side which added about 2 inches to the height and width. Additionally the depth is about 12 inches when empty due to the nice roomy pockets on the front which are bigger than the pockets on the one shown. But those added inches put the bag at 62 inches preventing you from using the expansion on a plane unless you want to pay for an oversized bag.

I traveled to London and this worked perfectly as a carry-on item; I had zero issues with stowing it in the overhead bin. I did not love the interior pocket setting, however.

I liked the design of travellers choice. Super light weight, heavy duty nylon fabric, its expandable, sturdy and with several compartment. Almost perfect to me except the thread was use on the lining is not heavy duty.

The bag held up on a week trip, hopefully it lasts as long as my last one.. Its size was as advertised and was accepted as carry on.
