U.S. Traveler Rio Fabric Expandable Carry-on Luggage, Rolling Suitcase, Black, 2 Wheel Set

EDIT MAY 10TH 2025: nearly 13 years later and I still have and used this for travel lol. It's held up pretty well over the years.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I needed these in a pinch for travel i was going on and chose it based on its size, reviews, and available colors. I liked that i could get a different color than a standard plain black, and the green suited me just fine, and also if a friend ever needed to borrow it it would be gender neutral as opposed to a pink one (which i would have loved lol). Though true to other reviews the green color is NOT as bright and pretty as it appears on the photo, it is a little more muted, but a little more woodsy than olive id say. I have a ton of pics i took from various angles of all its features and even with it stuff full but i don't see where i can post them on this particular items page. :(I have no complaints over the durability of the suitcase (i don't use the mini one) kinda stupid, don't know if anyone ever uses them, not big enough for my laptop. So the suitcase will be the main point of my review.The item held up just fine and had no problems with it as a carry on. I flew through American Airlines for all flights and never once had any question of its size/weight issue and didn't have to check it. It rolled smoothly through the airport. the wheels worked well and had no issues with the handle. extended/retracted simple and quickly with a push of the button on top. there was an occasional tip or flip, but i attribute that to my handling of the bag as its a narrower than a larger one so it was easy to accidentally twist when pulling it up next to you, But that was mainly just how i was handling it.It can actually fit a pretty good amount of stuff in it. I had 2 pairs of jeans, house sweats, yoga style sweats, 8 shirts, 10 underwear and a couple bras, 4 pairs of socks, and a pair of low profile sneakers, pair of flats, and heels. Oh and an extra hoodie on top of all of that. Also had my makeup bag stashed in it too. All that WITHOUT the use of the 3" extender that unzips if you need it. I didn't want to risk having to check it. However on one of my flights, to/from an airforce base in a tiny plane, they had no room for carry ons so they had to be checked (no fee i might add) and it help up fine against their rough handling.Made it through the airports 6 times and came home in just as good condition as we left. Fortunately no scuffs or marks from being handled by agents or thrown on the belt or plane, and held a ton of stuff! all the intimates and socks and things were stowed in the zip mesh pocket on the inside, packed shoes in the bottom, then pants, then tops, then hoodie,I am very please with the durability and quality of this piece for a pretty decent price. It did what i needed it to do and did its job well. i really have no complaints about it at all and can't wait to go on another trip with it.

I was kinda shocked when I got this. Is this really a carry-on? I measured, and it is within the limits. It has a ton of room, and it is extremely well made. Moreover, it rolls really easily, not tipping, not snagging or any other annoying habit. It is lightweight and has a grip handle so you can carry it as well as rolling it. They have many colors, so you can get something that will stand out (I got the teal). It comes with a little bag thing, which I imagine you could use underwear, cosmetics, etc., etc., anything you want to separate. I used this on a trip two days after I got it, and I couldn't have been more pleased with it.

Purchased 4 sets in different colors. Used as carry ons during our recent trip. Great size. Fit perfectly in overhead bin. Experienced no issues with function. The matching personal bag was extremely convenient and easy to carry on the extended handle. One set did experience an unstitched seam on small outer pocket. Had to safety pin it closed.

I recently completed an 11-country, 11-week around-the-world trip, including 27 flights, with this carry-on luggage, and they came through it with flying colors. The bags took a licking and kept on ticking through it all. Take a look at the photos to see how they look at the end of this expedition. Not quite new, but not all that far off considering what they'd been through.I was able to carry everything I needed, and a few things it turned out I didn't need, in these bags. I had no checked bags for the entire trip, just these two guys. The expansion capability of the main carry-on came in handy at times, though the way airline requirements vary so widely from airline to airline it's a guessing game what a given ground crew might object to. Only on four or five of those 27 flights did an airline insist on checking the bigger bag, and only one time was I assessed an overweight charge (and for this reason I don't recommend flying on Air Asia -- hear that, Air Asia?)I have two criticisms to make. One serious, one less so. The less serious criticism is of the flight bag. This version of the flight bag is smaller than the older version. Not sure if this is just to save money or to meet some airline requirement. It would have been nice to have a bit bigger flight bag. The more serious criticism pertains to the main carry-on. It lacks a foot to keep it from falling over when it has any weight in the front compartment. I packed my laptop in the inside front pocket, and as a result that weight caused the bag to tip over if I didn't prop it against something. Look at the third photo and you'll see what I mean. This was a continual annoyance, and especially so when someone, like a taxi driver, would grab the bag from my hands and I'd have to rush to tell them it didn't stand up on it's own before they'd let it go and allow the bag to fall over, risking damage to my laptop.The manufacturer really needs to add a foot to the front of the bag to avoid this problem. It's an easy but important fix. This is really my only gripe about this set, both in terms of its capacity, durability, and functionality. Even all the zippers held up, despite being opened and closed probably hundreds of times. In summation, excellent value for the money.
