Travelpro Crew 8 22 Inch Expandable Rollaboard Suiter,Black,One Size

I am a frequent traveler and carry-on whenever possible. My go-to bag was a 24" Victorinox. Like all of my Victorinox bags, this failed on my last trip leaving with the need to replace it on short notice. I went online and read reviews on many bags and Travelpro kept coming up as a good affordable option. I currently have a large Travelpro bag and I'm happy with it so I figured I would give the smaller version a try so i purchased on my Prime account with overnight delivery. The bag arrived as advertised and the quality was better than I could imagine.My first observation was that this 22" bag was expandable so I could "sneak" a couple extra days worth of clothes into an overhead approved bag. I did so on my first trip out. I was amazed that the bag still fit into the overhead wheels first. As any traveler knows, this makes finding a space for your bag much easier than.Another observations was the substantial feel of the handle. This was the part on my Victorinox that failed so it was important to me that the handle be able to support the weight of my backpack resting up against it. The bag also rolled freely over carpet, tile and asphalt. It was very easy to move around. And it stood straight even when expanded.I have to say that one of my favorite surprises is the water bottle holder. This simple zip-out compartment easily folds a standard 16 to 24 ounce water bottle making it accessible when you need it. A great feature for sure!All in all I'd have to say that I[m thrilled with the bag. I think I paid under $140 delivered. I stopped into Dillards the other day and teh same bag there was $400. Amazon came through yet again!

After a tragic plumbing disaster, we had to throw out all our suitcases. When we finally scraped together enough money to buy new suitcases (plumbers are EXPENSIVE), we did a fair amount of research before buying.This suitcase came highly recommended, and my husband got it about a week before leaving on a four day trip. Mr. Henchperson is both tall and broad, so the people who claim that they can fit a week's worth of clothes in this bag must be quite small indeed. He got everything for his four day trip into the bag and didn't have to expand it, but it was a very tight fit.The bag was light and easy to maneuver and the nice thing about the green is that it stands out from the 9,000 black bags that get dumped onto the carousel after the flight.If you're a smallish woman and not packing more than one pair of shoes, this bag might handle enough clothes to see you through a work week. Anyone else is going to have to get a bigger bag. This isn't a complaint, just a statement of fact. The fold-out section for packing suitcoats and shirts can be unzipped and there would be more space in the bag without it, but it's hard to pack men's dress shirts in a way that doesn't hopelessly wrinkle them without that fold-out section.Not five stars, but a good, solid suitcase.

I bought it through Altman Luggage via Amazon. Total price was $159 including shipping. The case took exactly one week from the point I ordered through Amazon to when it arrived on my doorstep.The case is much lighter than my generic brand 22inch roller I got from my dad many years ago. While the small booklet states that the case will not meet airline carry-on regulations when expanded, I have a feeling that it will fit in most non-regional overhead bins even when expanded.The biggest issue I have is that the 22inch does not have inner mesh pockets inside the larger outer pocket, as the marketing photos on some websites show. (The pockets I'm talking about are not the two mesh pockets that are in the main compartment of the case). Many luggage sellers, including Amazon, show the same marketing photo for the 20inch and the 22inch models, where the outer pocket is opened and there are mesh pockets in there that hold an iPhone, pens, wallet, etc as well as a laptop sleeve. My 22inch does not have any of these pockets and sleeves. My cell phone, keys, wallets, and tickets will all be at the bottom of a fairly deep pocket, and not organized as in the photos. The lack of these small compartments to hold such items led me to take two stars off from my review. (Even $50 bags sold at Walmart have them)Both the wheels and the handles seem fine, though I'm not sure how durable the plastic handle will be if I ever need to pick up the case at the handle when the case is packed full.Overall, I'm happy with the case, but am disappointed by the misleading marketing photos.
