Travelpro Maxlite 5-Softside Lightweight Expandable Upright Luggage, Slate Green, Carry-on 20-Inch, Maxlite 5 Softside Lightweight Expandable Upright Luggage

Well made. A bit roomier than a standard ‘carry on’ case by virtue of having two wheels set into the bottom of the case, rather than the standard four wheels underneath. That gives you about an extra two inches of compartment space.

I bought this after belatedly realising that airlines now allow larger in-cabin bags than the old TravelPro I bought around 20 years ago. I'd been shoe-horning everything into a smaller space than necessary or omitting stuff. More fool me!I'm not generally a brand loyalist but, after researching the alternatives, I plumped for another TravelPro not least because the old one is still in excellent condition, bar the knocks and bashes that some intense business travel has inflicted. They're tough.And in use, the MaxLite lives up to its name: despite being 25% bigger it's clearly lighter than my old TravelPro, the wheels have rubber tyres so it's quieter than the plastic ones, and they're enclosed, so less likely to get damaged. You can thump this over pavements and it'll still work.One or two more external pockets would have been nice but other than that, it's hard to fault.
