American TouristerStratum 2.0 Expandable Hardside Luggage with Spinner Wheels, Slate Blue, Carry-on

First off, I really like the color. Plus, it's easier to spot amongst all the black bags! I was a bit worried on the size. My other carry on bag fit my compression bag and had space to fit other items. The difference with this, is the compression bag fits in one side, and the other side has all of the extra space, where I would have had to fit my make up, hairbrushes and shoes around my compression bag and pile it on top before closing it. Now I can just put all of that stuff on the other side and zipper it in. It's much easier.

The suitcase is a lovely light green color. It appears almost metallic. The zippers work well and the extra zipper to expand is a nice touch. It appears sturdy. I bought it for my son’s trip abroad. We have not used it yet but wheels work and handle seems to be fine. Nothing is loose and the case is easily handled and picked up. It is very light and can be held with either of the 2 handles on the top or the side.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:My wife and I travel a lot and we have been through a lot of bags. Tired of bags not living up to their hype or otherwise simply falling apart way too soon, we both bought this brand. I have this specific suitcase and she bought a set of the same. My bag has only been on one trip so far but it was over three weeks of planes, trains, busses and automobiles (not to mention plenty of cobblestone streets, narrow stairs, train gaps and other challenges) as we were constantly on the go overseas. My wife used the same bag for the same trip and has used the large and roll aboard many more times. All of our bags are holding up beautifully to all the abuse. Of note also, we often find the zipper on the mesh side of the interior tends to break quickly - not in this case. All zippers on all bags holding up well.

Love the color the fact that it expands and material and space.

The color is amazing. It is very vivid and pleasing to the eye. The quality is also great. All the hardware is good quality. The wheels are very smoothe and look like they will stand the test of time with moderate use. The zippers are smoothe and there is plenty of room. I also love how light the suitcase it. The handle is great and extends and distends very smoothly. This is a really functional suitcase that is easy to use.

This is super carryon. Pretty color. Sturdy. Wheels turn well. And it was a bargain.

Perfect size for a week long trip. Lots of clothes, several pairs of shoes (and a pair of boots), along with essential toiletries packed easily with room to spare. Rolls and spins easily on carpet. The handle raises and lowers with ease. Good price for what you get. Love that it expands to provide more space.

Absolutely loved. Easy to carry around. Handle length was perfect. I personally loved the look. I loved traveling looking chic, so it was so cute and easy to spot when I picked it up from the conveyer belt. It lasted and endured so much in the span of a two week trip. I went to three different places in the EU and UK and it was fabulous to use.
