Experience

I got a set as gift to replace my longtime Tumi luggage set. These feel high quality and are extremely lightweight, great for weight requirements for checked bags. The locks are very easy to use and I love the storage compartments.

Feedback

On first use, I saw that the outside easily acquired scuff marks which could be wiped off, but it would be nice if the material was a bit more resistant to this

I have the carry on and the larger size. I like the large size, but find it annoying that the carryon inserts can't be removed. I prefer an away bag for the carry on size. Quality is great otherwise.

These are my favorite luggage ever. I have the carry-on one with a pocket for my laptop on the front and its the best ever. Makes going through security SO easy!! Also love their warranty. A main reason I purchased!!

Love my monos, lightweight and has lasted. My only problem is when it’s really full it makes the handle hard to pull up

Experience

The luggage is sleek and modern. I only use mine as a carry on and it has a slight few scratches and marks from the airplane. I love the price point and love that it’s more low key than away. My only con so far is that the button that allows you to bring up and down and handle is in the way of me pulling/moving the luggage. When I roll it I want to grab it from under the handle which is where the button is and because of that it’s hard to have control/slips settings often..

Feedback

The button of the handle adjuster should be placed elsewhere or on top…

LOVE this suitcase. It fits so many things and has that additional pocked on the outside to fit anything else. I prefer this suitcase to the AWAY suitcase any day. They are also much more affordable, yet have the same quality.

Feedback

Really great customer service and amazing product.

I liked that the website let me compare the sizes and functionality between the product lines to make my decision on which luggage to get. I liked the price point compared to other competitors and the colour options they offered! It came with a small eraser to help with scuff marks, which was a great added touch. Also that they are Canadian. :)

Feedback

More variety of colour ways would be fun!

I went with this brand instead of Away because of their transparency in testing products and the quality seems much better. I do not regret, really love their items. The colors are super fashionable :)

Feedback

It does get scratch up easily after traveling. You can just use their magic eraser but lots of maintenance to keep it looking good after traveling

Experience

The luggage is light yet sturdy, and I love the interior pockets. Thoughtful design - comes with shoe bags and plastic bag for liquids. I've never had problems with the wheels. Mine shipped really quickly (and I ordered it during the holiday season in 2021).

Feedback

Could be easier to clean, or come with a cleaning cloth + solution for the exterior.

Experience

Really loved the Carry-On Pro I bought for my trip! The built-in front compartment sold me on the brand and it seriously helped make the TSA security process less frantic - with everything stored right in front. Also, I didn't have to worry about lugging around huge bag like usual to store my documents, electronics, snacks, etc! The swivel action is hella smooth, too.

Feedback

The built-in front compartment could benefit from an additional expanding zipper because once you insert your laptop, you can't have too many bulky chargers inside all at once without struggling to close it... since it's not a flexible suitcase.
