Maxlite 5 Softside Lightweight Rolling Underseat Tote Upright 2 Wheel Bag, Men and Women, Black, 16-Inch

Light travel wheels are not durable.

I purchased this to avoid the dreaded “gate check” by overzealous Delta gate agents when flying or connecting on regional jets like the CRJ. Even though I always fly Comfort Plus and pay extra to get the dedicated bin space they frequently hassle me so this is about 2” thinner and quite smaller than your standard 21” roller bag. Same bag many of the flight crews carry. The velcro side fasteners inside the bag make no sense whatsoever and will just snag and ruin your clothes, so I cut them out with a scissors. Other than that it seems like a good way to go along with a small lightweight backpack like the new outlander that you can stuff under the seat in front of you.

I originally got this travel tote because of recent back surgery. I can’t do back packs, so I got this and I love it. The handle is long enough so I’m not kicking it as I walk. The wheels are really sturdy and roll smoothly. I haven’t experienced any wheel damage yet and I’ve rolled it across rough parking lots. I like the stoppers in front or legs. It stays put and doesn’t roll around when I’m taking stuff in and out. For the purpose I bought it, it does an outstanding job and holds my laptop, books, notebook and snacks for work.

I thought this was a nice piece of luggage for an overnight bag but it was too small for my needs. I had to return it. I got a larger piece by the same manufacture and it seems to be perfect.

Excellent quality holds a lot perfect for underseat travel

Ive been experiencing shoulder pain from carrying around a heavy backpack when I travel, and wanted to find something else to use that would roll but that would still fit under the seat when I fly. This bag is perfect, as it is well made and functional. Used on its own, it rolls well. It also has a built-in strap on the back so that, if I travel with another suitcase, I can just slip this one on top and roll them together.

Perfect for the 2 day trips

This TravelPro 16 carry-on is larger than the companys under-the-seat tote but not as large as the usual American carry-on. The size is close to the one when I demand spinner wheels, with this case does not have. Still, the large in-line wheel are smooth and mostly maneuverable. It is small enough for those European and Australian airlines that have tighter size restrictions for carry-ons. Its lightweight enough not to take up significant weight even before you pack it. Even though it is indeed a suitcase, it resembles more of a large briefcase on wheels that the usual carry-ons, which tend to have greater height.

Id had one, on which the wheel disintegrated (of 2) but it had seen its day. I love this one although it doesnt have the side pockets but is perfect for work and air travel. It is MUCH LIGHTER than my original which I LOVE!

This worked great for a long trip, easy to carry and maneuver while running to catch connecting flight
