We only noticed a couple superficial marks - no scratches or dents, and nothing that wouldn't wipe clean. And, while the carry-ons are generally lightweight, one thing to note is that the larger checked models weigh almost twice as much when empty.Īfter shoving the suitcases off a table and whacking them with a baseball bat, we were pleasantly surprised by their durability. Even their rolling garment bag impressed with its high capacity for the size. We particularly love the Travelpro Platinum Elite Carry-On Expandable Hardside Spinner that has sleek wheels and a textured handle that helps maintain a comfortable grip.

With self-aligning spinner wheels and sturdy telescoping handles, Travelpro luggage is also easy to maneuver on hard floors, carpet, and even gravel (though some suitcases are slightly harder to roll on two wheels than four, especially when packed full). We appreciated the various organizational features, like zipper panels, cross straps, and pockets. Though we could fit everything on our packing list without using the expanders, it's nice to know there's wiggle room. The brand's hardside and softside models were a hit in the lab, and both carry-on and checked options have spacious interiors and expandable capacities. Some are harder to pull on two wheels, and the checked models are a bit heavy.Īll Travelpro luggage we tested earned high scores for maneuverability, durability, capacity, and overall design.
