Sion Softside Expandable Luggage – Carry-On Suitcase with 360 Degree Wheels & Retractable Handle – 21 Inch, Perfect for 1-3 Night Trips – Burgundy

Full disclosure: I am a paralyzed traveler. I need a carry-on that is rock solid in terms of functionality and durability. I’ve used this luggage extensively in the six months that I’ve owned it. My limited mobility makes me hard on my luggage. I bought this product to replace a very expensive Hartman carry on. I also a big T. Anthony fan/purchaser. I have high standards. I’m blown away by this item, especially given its v affordable price point. There is a lot of great to say about this luggage: First, it is perfectly designed in that there are two outside pockets that are perfect for carrying a billfold, cell phone, etc. They do not interfere with being able to open the luggage completely or partially in terms of accessing the main storage area. This is quite clever. Second, inside, it is super sturdy with an interior metal frame. The wheels are super solid and roll well with little resistance. Nice touches include a large dedicated pocket for dirty laundry and a separate toiletries pocket. U won’t need to pack a separate dop kit (saving space). The telescoping handle works well. If I had one improvement in the design, it would be to allow this handle to lock before full extension. I lock my luggage when I leave my hotel room. The zippers have holes at the end to facilitate this. I also like that the handle for carrying the luggage horizontally, is exceptionally strong and perfect for my lock so that I may store it under my bed to lock it to the bed frame. Last, I purchased mine in Royal Navy blue. I must say with the Swiss flag in red and white, it is stylish indeed! I very much look forward to packing it and loading it for my next adventure. Also, I am not a paid reviewer or so-called influencer. Just a happy customer.

Very well made, extremely sturdy. Great size and fits a lot. Recommended for a trip that’s a week or less.

I bought one just like this one about four years ago and it is still like new. My signficant other's birthday was comming up in September, so I asked her what she wanted, she replied a new suitcase. I went on AMAZON in march and they had the Swiss Gear Sion Softside Expandable Luggage in a 25 inch on sale for $110.00. I opened up an account with AMAZON and i got a free gift card for $80.00, I used to buy the luggage she wanted. The final cost was about $40.00. I looked at the color choices and bought the Teal color on, she loves it. This suit case is well built and has allot of room for cloths. The wheels are very sturdy and can spin around freely. It is light weight and easy to handle. There is a handle on the bottom and the side of the suitcase The top handle is made of strong metal and pulls out very easily, their is a release button on thop of the handle. It look good and is expnadable. The zippers are not cheap ones, they are very sturdy. This suitcase is comfortable to handle. The material is a very strong material and I never had any problems with it. Before I bought this suit case I read the reviews and what people had to say about this suitcase. Most of the reviews were very good. I basically went with my experince with the same one I bought four years ago and have done allot of travel with it. This suit case is built bullet proof. When you have a well built luggage like the SwissGear Sion Softside Expandable Luggage you take good care of it. It will last and perform like new for years. So if your in the market for a 25 inch check out SwisGear Sion Expandable Luggage you won't go wrong if you buy one. A buck well spent is a buck well spent. This piece of luggage is the best bang for your buck.

I bought this bag in December 2024 through Amazon...It functioned well and seemed sturdy, however, the lock on the telescoping handle has broken so the handle keeps falling down. I have other Swiss Gear products; another bag and a backpack, which have held up much better and are older. I am disappointed

Very well made and durable. Nice and big. Wheels are kinda small.

After searching Amazon & Macy’s apps for 2 weeks looking for a carry on for my son, I checked out countless hard side & soft side options & poured over reviews. I finally settled on this soft sided carry on. Amazon buyers had posted some useful videos & the reviews for this bag were consistently awesome. I wanted something with good quality spinner wheels & a telescoping handle that was sturdy. The bag needed to be affordable and have nice features inside & out. This carry on checked all of those boxes! Very impressed with the look & quality of this bag, both inside & out. Smooth zips with high quality zipper pulls, 2 handy & spacious exterior pockets for easy access to travel essentials (this is why I chose soft side over hard side!) a separate expansion zipper for more packing space for clothing, and I love that it has sturdy handles on three sides to easily grab this bag from any angle. One side has nice “feet” if you want to set the bag down horizontally. The telescoping handle works smoothly and locks into place. There’s two different height choices for this handle. One feature it has that nobody mentioned is that the zippers have little holes you can align and you can then use your own suitcase padlock on the bag if needed. The interior is spacious, nicely lined and there’s an attached mesh zipper pocket on one of the long sides, and also a detachable zip bag they call a wet bag, so stuff your wet swimsuit inside if need be or use it for cosmetics or whatever. Not sure if it’s TSA friendly because it’s clear, but not exactly see through. The spinner wheels glide as smooth as silk across my wood floors here at home & it has excellent maneuverability. A nice dark blue, soft materiel. It’s a great looking bag! I got a really outstanding deal on this when I checked out the list of these bags available at a lower price, shipped from the Amazon warehouse. I chose an option that stated it would be “Used, in like new condition” that was listed $30 cheaper than new. It came in pristine packaging, no damage whatsoever to the box that held the suitcase and still taped up with “Swiss Gear” packaging tape. The suitcase & handles were still wrapped in plastic, tags were intact, and all of the pockets on the suitcase still were stuffed with the packaging tissue paper! This was an awesome score for under $100 and I’m sure this thing will last a very long time! Look no further, this is the perfect carry on bag. I’m sure Swiss Gear’s matching larger size bags are just as awesome, too.

Another suitcase was needed for an extended trip and this SWISSGEAR Spinner worked very well. It was amazing how much I loaded into it and the expandable top did help. The wheels are smooth and easy, just don't leave it on a slanted surface. :)

I bought this bag after a good experience with its carry-on cousin. The outer lower pocket was ripped nearly off on the second flight I took with this bag. Baggage handlers being what they are, I can't completely blame the suitcase for that. However, the outer pockets do stick out quite a bit from the rest of the bag, so it seems more susceptible to damage than other bags. Also, this bag is SO big that it's super easy to pack so much that its overweight - we had 55 lb in it when we checked in to our last flight and it wasn't even expanded. My replacement bag will likely be a bit smaller because of that. I do like the handle on this, and the wheels roll super smoothly.
