Travelpro Crew Classic Lightweight Softside Expandable Carry on Luggages

I tried out a few suitcases for traveling 7 or more days a week. I wanted to live the hard cases but I was concerned about the cracking over time. I also found the hard cases zippers were a bit squirrelly- especially when you have a lot of stuff in your suitcase.I tried the Level 8 but it did not close well with a laptop, plug and suitcase full of clothing. This was my first choice for convenience but zipper had issues closing.This suitcase is a reasonable weight. I love the quality of this brand so zippers, pockets, etc all work well. I did not really need the 2 pocket organizer but it’s good for compressing. Great store with some expansion for shopping. Easy wheel to get around so keep your hand on your suitcase. Adjustable handle for short and tall people. I will say, it can tip forward if you have a heavy bag on top, so watch for it. Plus, yes, it is over the 22 max for carry in. If you are in a strict airline, this is NOT a carry on. It will it fit into the bin. So- be aware. If you are in a big plane, you are set. Great for 7-10 summer trip, if you are not a heavy packer.

What I expected

It is perfect, light, strong, and looks good. Just buy it!PS: Stay away from the new "Max Lite" line if you travel a lot. We have a few for the family who do not travel as much and they are ok, however, not much better than moderate cheap luggage. My son's (the MaxLite) already has a bend in the rear bar due to a single time we had to gate check and the bag came out on the other end warped. This would never of happened with this "crew classic" or other high quality bag. This bag, however, lives up to the TP reputation for quality and looks a lot better than the actual crew series. There is a clear durability difference in the two "consumer" focused lines. I do not think the "signature" is worth the $$ unless you just have cash to burn for no reason. Actually like the look of this better.

Used x1 for a car trip to a wedding. Well crafted, strong zippers and wheels. Room fo 4 days clothes. Light weight, looking forward to plane travel.Removable inside pockets I likely won’t ever use but someone may find useful

This is a review of the regular carry-on. A nice quality suitcase. The dimensions are a bit bigger than the airline stated could be accomodated. I wondered if it might end up needing to be checked. There was no problem fitting in Delta overhead. My only issue was that it was top heavy and tipped a few times when I had my personal item strapped to the handle.
