Thule Subterra Carry On Roller 22, Black

The wheels roll over small bumps with ease. Looks good and is lightweight. The quick access pocket at the top is very useful.

Ive had this suitcase for a few years now, and finally settled into a decision after many, many trips. I love this suitcase, except for one thing: as soon as you put anything on top of it, including a small thule backback (which I also really like), it weighs down abominably, like youre carrying about 50 lbs on brick when you pull it in an inclined position. Unfortunately, because its not a spinner, you have to pull it in an inclined position. If I could rebuy, Id go for the spinner instead. The spinner might not be as durable over cobbled stones, but wont strain my arms if I have to pull anything on top.

The sexiest carry on I have now :) clean lines and stays put in its shape in spite of being made of cloth like material..

I just used this suitcase on a short trip and absolutely love it. The design is both visually appealing and functionally ideal. The suitcase opens down the middle and one side is a fully open section (with a flat cover that can be adjusted to keep clothes in place and keep them from falling out when the suitcase is opened) and the other side is about 3/4 of the side of the suitcase with a zipper to close. The final 1/4 of that side of the suitcase is taken up by a pouch that unzips from the front of the suitcase and allows for storing things that you need easy access to. What I love about that pouch is that it is big enough to hold larger items like a book or a toiletry bag without a problem. I was able to use this bag as my carry-on bag and not need a second personal item like a backpack because of the convenience of how this bag is laid out.

This is my initial reaction - I received the carry on but havent used it yet.

Wow. Fabulous piece. Great size. Exactly what I was looking for.

This is a quality piece of luggage…sleek, sturdy and rolls great. It it is lightweight which makes it much easier to pull and lift when stowing in overhead carry on. It is very well designed and can hold a surprising amount of clothing due to a very handy removable cover inside that locks down to compress clothing. It has additional spacious compartments for shoes or other bulky items. A family member has had the same Thule luggage for 4 years now, used on many extensive trips and it’s still in excellent shape. Highly recommend!

It seems like most of the reviews here are from people who received the suitcase for free in order to get them to review it. Well, I got it the old fashioned way: bought it. I wanted a somewhat smaller suitcase for 2-3 day business trips and my 22 TravelPro Crew 9 was a bit more than I needed. I also wanted something more stylish, which the Thule certainly provides. Overall, I like the Thules style and size. However, I am not a fan of how little you can get into this case. It is about 10% smaller than my travelpro in terms of dimensions, but I can only fit about 1/2 as much into it! There is a large pocket built into the front for storing items, but it takes up a huge amount of space and makes packing much less efficient. There are 2 bars for the handle inside the luggage that also takes up considerable space. Admittedly, the TravelPro Crew has this handle issue too, but is not as severe. I also find the compression board concept useless. It is hard to use and inconvenient. Something they apparently designed but never tested.

I like the rounded molded curves and subtle lime green accents on the exterior of this Thule carry-on. It makes it look distinct as well as attractive compared to the basic square carry-on. Inside, it is also lined with lime green trim and has two primary storage areas. The first is inside the lid and separated from the bottom half by a zippered mesh divider. In addition to keeping the top half contents of the case separated, it also allows anything stored within the top half to breath. The bottom half of the case is divided from the top by a compression panel that attaches to the case via plastic ratchets on each side. It can be raised, lowered and set at a desired spot along the ratchets by pulling inward on the small green straps attached to each ratchet. Lowering the compression panel can compress clothing in the bottom half to allow more space. The compression panel has a zippered storage portion but its not very spacious and can only accommodate small items or one piece of light clothing. It may fit two if theyre small pieces like underwear. Finally, there is a small zippered pocket outside of the case which contains another small zippered mesh pocket within. Its large enough to hold one or two pieces of clothing, a small pair of shoes o personal items like toiletries.

I am very pleased with the Thule Subterra Carry-On for its clever design and attention to a customer’s needs. Made of nylon, around 7 lbs., with three color choices (Dark Shadow, Mineral, Ember), the smooth nylon finish is easy to clean and carry. One of the most aggravating parts of travel these days, it is a pleasure to bring this Carry-On on board a crowded plane with very little space for extras. (The tough, oversized wheels and telescoping handles are a welcome touch, as is the piggyback strap attachment loop should you need to attach another bag.
