| My carryon has broken so I’m in need of a new one. We have some Briggs & Riley bags and some Tumi but I’d be fine spending less (under $200) for a decent bag for me. Any recommendations for something light but still sturdy which works for domestic and international carryon size? Ideally in a color other than black? |
| We have been happy with this one from Travelpro: https://travelpro.com/products/platinum%C2%AE-elite-21-expandable-carry-on-spinner?variant=40153436880994 |
| TJmaxx … any hard shell Samsonite. |
| Been really happy with Away. Really lightweight. |
| I just got a new TravelPro one that is great so far. |
Quality of Samsonite has fallen off a cliff . |

Love my new Travelpro Walkabout 21" (it's the style made for Macys, but the same as the MaxLite). I paid $144 with Macy's sales, (you can get similat price on Travelpro.com or Amazon for the Maxlite).
I just used it to pack for a week in Costa Rica. Was perfect. I will buy more of the same when others in my household need a new suitcase. |
I found this too. I still mostly just pick one up at Marshalls or TJ but avoid Samsonite. Perhaps they send all the bad ones there? We have good luck with Swiss Army. |

I just did a ton of research for some work travel and bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0A3BKH?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
It's been great - I managed to pack for a full week of meetings in Europe. I do like the feature on the Away and a few others that lets you stash your laptop easily: https://www.awaytravel.com/suitcases/carry-on-pocket?color=black_nylon_pocket&usb_charger=not_included |
| Love my Monos suitcase! |
| Costco - it's warranteed for life and easy to exchange if there's ever a problem |
When? Our TJ Maxx Samsonites are going strong for at least 12-13 years now. And they were dirt cheap. |
| I have an AWAY and love it. Def a bit smaller than the former carryon I has but has to been an issue as I am a very light packer. |
| Very happy with our Away suitcases! |
