So the next time you’re rolling through TSA lines, running from one gate to the next, or finding space in the overhead compartment, this traveler-loved carry-on luggage is sure to make your journey a bit smoother. So, if you’re looking for a sleek new travel aesthetic, then this suitcase could be exactly what you’re looking for with its modern, streamlined design. This is plenty if you just need the basics; it doesn't include any outer pockets for items you'll need on the day of travel, but it won't matter if you have a personal item for those things.

With its streamlined design, dash of style, and expandable capacity, the American Tourister Stratum XLT was a promising option. Whether you're going on a short weekend getaway or a month-long expedition, having the right luggage size is crucial. The wheels are smaller and shimmy more than we like, making the Stratum less stable in general, even tipping over when coming off curbs.The wheels on the Stratum look less than inspiring, though, and we don't like how it looks or feels with the stretchy expander fabric deployed. On the other hand, a soft trolley suitcase is lightweight and versatile, perfect for travelers who prefer adaptability. To acquire a balance between space and convenience, prefer medium luggage, ideal for trips lasting several days to a week.

However, this suitcase doesn't hold as much as our favorite options, even when we expanded the extra fabric band.And if you do need a little more space, it comes in several other sizes, including a 24-inch checked-baggage size. This sturdy, carry-on compliant bag has outer zippers that allow it to expand, making it nearly an inch wider, meaning you’re able to pack in that much more for your adventures. Several of our testers have had bad experiences with similar bags ripping at the zipper due to the increased strain that rigidity can introduce and overall do not like the look.

Carry On Spinner is perfect for a 1-3 day trip, this little guy has everthing you need to make your quick getway stress free and fun!This attention to quality and performance is why Samsonite is Worldproof® and has been for nearly 100 years. The Stratum is one of the few box-style suitcases we tested that doesn't include a TSA-approved lock. They are the most bare-bones version of what you need, with roomy storage spaces and restraints to keep your things in place long enough to unzip the bag. Imagine effortlessly gliding through airports, maneuvering crowded streets, and neatly organizing your belongings in a thoughtfully designed suitcase.
