4010 Softside

Very light and specious!!

Purchased a discounted In Box unit that I assume was a return. The unit is just under 62” dimensions overall and very light in the 8 pound range. The top zippered front pocket is full length and extends behind the lower zippered front pocket. So very long and flat things can be put into the top zippered front pocket. The rest is pretty standard. “I haven’t used it in a trip yet” Looks comparable to my TravelPro MaxLite and as light and better built than my Amazon Basic luggage handle that broke. Update: I continue to like the 27”and have now used it on a couple trips. One by car and one by plane. It’s big as practical and holds 50 pounds snugly. No extra space and not super compressed and not via expansion zipper so just right. I like the light weight of the 27” bag. I think ths is better than the expensive well advertised brands because of the equal performance at a lower price.

Great medium sized bag. I need a checked bag that wasn’t massive but still holds a week or two worth of stuff not packing light. Sturdy and rolls well. Held up to be dragged around Europe. Lightweight

Bought the 18 inch carry on, be warned, unlike what’s shown in some of the product pics and diagrams, it has NO side handle. Aside from the top handle, the bottom has a little flap (also not a handle) that you can fit your fingers in to grab - a poor man’s handle i guess, better than nothing. I bought the 18 inch carry on to avoid needing to gate check my larger 22 inch victorinox carry-on. On some smaller aircraft, that one does not fit in the top bin of the airplane, and they’ll gate check it. In fact, this happened to my traveling companion who had a 22” roller, while i was allowed to bring this on-board (it was a united flight - smaller plane). Also flew on delta and jetblue with this, no issues fitting into carry-on top bin, i had it filled to the max, pretty much bulging out (packed using compression cubes). The handle seems a bit flimsy, jiggles quite a bit, and worst of all the locking mechanism for the different heights of the handle is inconsistent - sometimes it gets stuck and won’t extend more than the first level, but sometimes it does - annoying but whatever. Roller wheels are great, very smooth, nice 360 action. The material on the sides seem a bit thin, so i question its longevity and durability. But, i don’t travel too much, so it’s fine for the occasional trip.

Perfect size for over head

We’re taking a trip in on Air Canada which happens to have strict carry on dimensions that are smaller than what’s allowed with most airlines. My husband was able to fit approximately 15 items of clothing, flip flops, and a pair of dress shoes. We are sharing one checked bag, and always worry about the checked luggage getting lost. This is a perfect solution to take a few outfits in case checked luggage is delayed. The handle sticks a bit and requires a little finesse to get it back down, but once you figure it out it works fine. The material is sturdy and there are a few useful pockets for toiletries or other small items.

Just took this light weight small roll on (despite not having a side handle to facilitate lifting) on a two week trip abroad. Since it was carry on, it was always with me. The handle never held its position once pulled out of the suitcase. This handle doesn’t lock in place and stay there. It slips up and down, even on escalators, when moving on uneven surfaces. Honestly, traveling means carrying another bag, packages etc. and if the roll on is unstable it’s dangerous. Especially getting on and off escalators, going down curbs, rushing to catch trains etc. Very disappointed. It was exhausting adjusting this handle and to remember not to let my hand tough the release button right on top of the handle, that cause it to go up and down. Because that’s the only place meant to adjust the height of the handle. I have lots of roll ons and suitcases. Never have I had one this unstable. Frankly, don’t buy this. You’ll fight with it on every trip.

Good carry on size. It stood up to multiple transatlantic trips and an RT transcontinental flt , a few times as checked luggage. Enough room for me (as an average sized male) for a week if you also have a small personal item you can chuck some of your gear in. That it doesn't expand is good because it's a very stable platform whilst rolling through airports. The Handle , this is where it falls off the cliff unless you figure it out. Don't try to over pack it and you're laughing. I'd most likely spend a bit more and get the Travel Pro 19 inch spinner.

Perfect size. Excellent quality. Ideal as an overnight bag and also for trips travelling to Europe. Love it.

Hermosa y super practica no pesa es muy ligera

This carry-on is the perfect size for the tight WestJet restrictions, and it fits in the sizer no problem! It is quite small, but I was somehow able to squeeze 7 days of clothes in here and didn't even need to check a bag. It moves around well (the wheels are 360 degrees), and it was super comfortable to pull along with me through the airport.

La devolví, porque no es tan robusta como otras. Tiene pocos remaches en las agarraderas, así que no se ve muy sólida. No es mala, pero no es lo que esperaba. Me sorprendió, porque es mi primera maleta SwissGear que no se ve de construcción fuerte.

The good: this fit perfectly for air Transat carry on specs (and she made us try it in the caddy)… it fit well. The bad: we bought two, and one had a faulty handle that kept jamming up or down… it was such a pain! The case is quite small and my personal item on top kept tipping it over. But it was fine when in motion and I was holding it up.
