Best wheeled carryon?
June 16, 2021 5:14 PM
My 21-inch eBags Motherlode carryon has suffered catastrophic failure (ok, a rip). I'm looking for something lightweight and four-wheeled that's lightweight and easy to maneuver into overhead bins (I am short and not especially dexterous). Bonus points if it's colorful!
I have Travelpro carryon and concur with the Wirecutter review, it’s great.

Agree - the Travelpro is best.

I am a fan of Briggs and Riley, but I agree Travelpro is nice too (and less expensive). I find Briggs and Riley more durable, and their customer service is top notch.

If you can spring for Briggs and Riley, they are very good gear.

+ On Wirecutter's Travelpro Platinum Elite 21" Expandable Spinner - have travelled extensively with it and it's a pleasure. Of note is handles on all sides including the bottom so whichever way it's loaded there's a grip to it.

My 15 year old Briggs & Riley suffered a tear and torn out zipper this year. They made it look like new again, no charge.
