TravelproMaxlite 5 Softside Expandable Upright 2 Wheel Carry on Luggage, Lightweight Suitcase, Men and Women, Slate Green, Carry On 22-Inch

This is a durable, lightweight suitcase with plenty of space. The wheels and handle are sturdy, one smooth roller, making it easy to navigate, and it fits all carry-on requirements for both domestic and international travel.While I’ve noticed some loose threads over time, the overall quality is great. I have noticed some zipper teeth have become misaligned but they still zip no problem. This has made it through multiple domestic trips and four countries abroad. It can handle rocky cobblestone, uneven sidewalks, a little sand and plenty of dead runs to catch the flight, bus, or train I will say the interior color wasn’t quite what I was expecting with the blue and black checkered design, but it’s grown on me.I got it on sale, the full price is a bit steep; however, the solid warranty and value make it a worthwhile purchase.

I’ve schlepped through terminals, sprinted for gates, and stacked this bad boy in overhead bins without a single crack or complaint. The Travelpro Maxlite 5 is essentially my travel sidekick:🧳 Featherweight champ: It’s surprisingly light, so I can pack more shoes (priorities, am I right?) and still hit weight limits.🧳 Expandable genius: Thought I’d just overpacked? Nope—it expands to fit every souvenir I didn’t know I needed. Crisis averted.🧳 Smooth operator wheels: These babies glide like butter—making lugging 45 pounds through cobblestone streets feel oddly stylish.🧳 Durable softside body: Stands up to airport conveyor belt assaults and last-minute travel drama. My suitcase is tough, kinda like me… but with fabric.🧳 Smart compartments: The interior pockets and straps make folding clothes look legit, even if I’ve just rolled my underwear into a ball (again).Bottom line: If you want luggage that’s reliable, expandable, and downright easy to wheel—even from gate D14 to E2 running late—this is the one. My Travelpro hasn’t just survived travels; it’s thrived, and so has my sense of vacation zen.

I got this for my very picky husband and he likes it a lot. In his words, it is "very smooth rolling and light weight, has a good outside pocket for easily accessible items and the color (soft green) is nice because it is a bit different - easy to find if you check it - but subdued." It looks well made and is configured to have a nice wide opening and a lot of internal space.

I had been wanting a carry on luggage for sometime as I recently started getting into flying for vacation and I wanted an option for when I’m not checking a bag. A frequent-flyer-friend of mine suggested I get a soft sided Travelpro for carryon since it has more give. She also suggested this case with two wheels because 360 spinner wheels tend to add to height and may make it harder to fit into an overhead bin.I used this for the past week for a 6 day/5 night trip to Disney and it worked out very well for me. I flew with American Airlines and I had no issue fitting it into the overhead bin, both before and after someSouvenir shopping. I fit all of my clothes (and clothing accessories like ponchos and bags) into this luggage and placed most of my toiletries into my backpack.I only used the extender on my way home to fit some extra souvenir clothing I bought. The extender makes one side of the big deeper, so it looks like it has a belly. I like the handle on the side which is useful for lifting up into the overhead bin.The two wheels are very smooth, make it easy to rolland the stands are great for keeping your bag sturdy and stable. The only issue I had with this bag is that it is a little wide for airplane aisles to roll. It just about fits going down the aisle, but that means I have to roll it behind me or push it in front of me while trying not to bump into seats or people. It was easier for me to just carry it in my hand through the aisle. Fortunately the case itself is not too heavy, so carrying it by hand through the plane was a very minor sacrifice.I’m looking forward to using this bag again as a carryon! While I only slightly regret not getting the 360 wheel version, I’m very happy with this purchase.Update: just used this for a weekend trip to Cancun and this case fit perfectly fine in the Spirit overhead bin. Thankful again for the soft exterior because it easy to stuff some souvenirs inside!
