The RidgePremium Hard Shell Carry On Luggage - TSA Approved Lock - 360° Spinner Wheels for Travel - Royal Black

I'm not sure where some of the low reviews are coming from. This is a well designed carry-on bag that makes traveling easy.The main draw of the bag is the lightweight yet powerful/quality feel and aesthetic of bag. It has the signature ridge minimalistic feel and even comes with a personal combination lock (not that I use this personally but for those that do).The grip is made of quality materials and hasn't given me any issue, the wheels are also study/strong. When I compare my old carry on with this side by side, there's no comparison or competition. The ridge wins with aesthetic, function, size, the pockets, features, and more. It also has made my travel life easier, it came with a laundry/mesh bag so now whenever I have dirty clothes during vacation I just put it in the bin and once I get home it's already pre-separated. This is also helpful when you're packing for return trip since you know what's clean and what isn't.It also comes with a shoe bag, so you can just toss shoes and close the bag as opposed to constantly wasting disposable plastic bags. It also comes with an eraser that can clean off any minor dust/debris/scratches etc.Overall, after a few trips I'm highly satisfied. I look back at my old carry on of 8-10 years and it's insane how much better ridge is in terms of everything.

I've been using the Ridge wallet for several years now. 2 years ago I bought a Ridge duffle bag and use it regularly. Now they have started making suitcases so I had to give them a try. As a former airline employee, 30 plus years working on airports, and a fairly frequent traveler I appreciate the non dark blue and black color options. The bright orange color is easy to identify on the baggage claim carousel from a distance.Like my wallet and duffle bag, the suitcase is well made, seems quite sturdy and is fairly lightweight. With reinforcement at the corners and wheels that roll easily I'm happy and satisfied with the purchase. The locks are integrated with the zipper pulls. Hopefully they will stand up to years of use. My one observation about the lock is that the combination must be in the windows to release or secure the zipper tags. I would prefer to be able to insert the zipper handles without needing to have the combination showing.Internal storage is well thought out with several zippered sub components inside. Convenient storage for smaller items that are prone to getting lost in the main compartment of the luggage.I'm inclined to get the full size suitcase soon for an upcoming 2 and a half week cruise in November and December.

Hoping Ridge will fix this, but at this point I don’t care to cut my loss and may just move on with something else. I never purchased luggage that was defective on my first flight. The handle keeps sinking after about 15 seconds of walking. I held it different ways too. I’m just a day out of my return window and traveling for business next month. Just wasted some money and now have to buy a more established brand.

Tough and smooth roll. Good roller bag.

I purchased this luggage to take to Europe. It appeared extremely durable and was attractive. Based on the size dimensions, it would not have been approved to carry on in Europe on some of the airlines so I returned it.

Its really worth the buy, even though it seems expensive. The quality is great, all the extras that come with it and the storage capacity is awesome!

Loved the durability and ease of using on flights but when rolling the handlebar would just give out. Not sure if it was a defective unit but saw another reviewer had the same experience. Sucks because for the price everything should be perfect.

I bought the Alpine Navy suitcase for a last minute overseas trip. I was impressed with the built in lock and durability of the case, plus the small pouch for my AirTag, leather luggage tags and laundry/shoe bags included. I personally didn’t have issues with the expandable handle, it stayed locked in place for me.
