Thule Subterra 36L Rolling Carry-On

A little bit of weight is compromised with all the additional features and hybrid design. The list reads long:

• Easy to pack more, separate clean from dirty or keep clothes in place thanks to the internal compression panel
• Smooth and easy transport with tough, oversized wheels and V-Tubing telescoping handles
• Effortless travel thanks to the piggyback strap attachment loop that allows an additional bag to be hooked on
• Bag design absorbs the impact of travel due to the durable exoskeleton and molded polycarbonate back panel
• Smooth lifting and rearranging in overhead bins with top, side and bottom grab handles
• Complies with carry-on requirements for most airlines
• Divided main compartment keeps clean-from-dirty, wet-from-dry, and work-from-play
• Protects contents from the elements with durable, water-resistant materials
• Quick access to keys, wallet and smaller items through zippered mesh pocket
• Built in ID card slot simplifies identification of bag

It is certainly not the cheapest carry-on luggage around but the Swedes don’t cut corners with quality. You only buy this once.
