Thule Subterra Carry On Roller 22, Black

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.

My wife took this on a quick trip and was very pleased with its performance. She said it appeared made of durable material and is just the right size for carry on. It is easy to carry and navigate around. The handle folds easily and should last. Because of its design, it holds a little less than some other 22 carry-ons but it definitely protects the contents better. A negative would be the higher price.

Stylish, practical and sturdy. Looks small but holds all essentials. Used for a week long business trip.

Two good reasons to recommend this: it is designed to be very durable, and it is designed to meet airline requirements for carry-on luggage.

I love it

I love this bag. Read the reviews before purchasing and took notice to those who mentioned they could not put as much in this carryon as others. But I found that not to be a problem. I was a person who didnt know how to pack a small bag. I have travel weekly for a two month period. I think this has been a great choice.

The Bad: The only thing I dont really like is the wheels, they are large(which is good) but they are made of a hard plastic and appear to be wearing pretty quickly relative to the rest of the bag.

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

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.

They sent me a Carry On dirty! Full of dust! Looks like the product was for long time under the Sun because the color has changed! Discolored!
