Mykel 22-Inch Carry-On Hardside Spinner Luggage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just got back from a weekend trip and I’ve been really impressed with this Traveler’s Choice Suitcase. The overall build quality feels solid, and it’s the perfect size for quick getaways. The wheels roll smoothly, handle feels sturdy, and has plenty of room inside without being too bulky. The build in charging port is SO helpful! It was incredibly convenient being able to keep my phone and tablet charged wile waiting for my flight. The dedicated laptop compartment is another huge plus! It made going through security a breeze. And kept my laptop secure and protected during my trip. This suitcase looks great, is durable, and has so many great features that help make traveling less stressful. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great travel suitcase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Traveller’s choice Mark duel opening polycarbonate hard side suitcase with sleeve and ergonomic handle polycarbonate is both durable and flexible. The suitcase with stands impacts well and does not crack during normal transport. The surface is scratch resistant compared to cheaper models. The interior is well designed there are dividers straps for securing items and plenty of space. The laptop sleeve is convenient but sometimes it takes up a bit of the main space the dual opening zones are very convenient especially when travelling and needing quick access to items the zippers and locks operate smoothly and the wheels roll easily and quietly the suitcase is lightweight for its class but not the most ultra light at the same time it feels sturdy and well balanced not too empty or too heavy. The separate laptop document compartment is a big plus convenient for travel and Work especially at the airport. It protects your equipment well and is easily accessible a very successful model for travel and business trips, durable, functional and easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great suitcase! Easy to maneuver, smooth and light weight with an extra handle on the bottom to help move your suitcase around. Has a great front pocket to store your laptop/ipad with good hard protection. However, due to that pocket, capacity for clothes reduces. I couldn’t pack as many clothes as I wanted. This suitcase is great for a quick work trip or weekend trip.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This luggage is amazing! There is so much storage room. I also think it is really protective to the laptop area. The wheels are really nice and let it glide really well. I also love that the zippers are on different sides, so it’s easy to see which side you’re accessing. I would definitely recommend if you have some tech you want to protect. This would be perfect for a few day trip or as a carry on for a flight.

PROS:- Hardshell- Front open laptop pocket- Front open zippered to access entire interior of suitcase. A++- Additional zippered pockets inside the carry-on- Buckle belts to keep one side contained, per traditional clamshell.- Zippered flap to hold the other side contained per traditional clamshell.- Small enough to fit in overhead bins of regional planes.CONS/NEUTRALS:- A side elastic waterproof water bottle pocket would have been a great bonus, but would have probably been the first to wear out and would ruin the "hardshell" claim. I can always purchase a third-party add-on, or just use the bottle pockets on my backpack/crossbody bags.STORYTIME:There is no other carry-on like the Mykel in this clean aesthetic, functionality, and price point. I already own the large MaxPorter II Trunk and the Ultimax II Medium Trunk. It happened that I was flying internationally for work with plans on the way back to visit and photograph some historic sites in some less developed cities. For many years, I've used soft-sided underseat laptop rollers for my electronics, spare clothes, meds/toiletries, and power banks/cables, with an additional personal bag for other supplies. Because of the locations I was visiting, I knew I would bring a lot more gear, including laptop, air purifiers (yes, even years post-pandemic,) large cameras, etc., and I needed something that could carry them on the airplane as well as to the corporate offices I would be working daily, and to smaller regional planes with little underseat space.I needed something to keep out the bugs -- a hardside, and be top loading with a front hardside flap for laptops/tablets and for the air purifier that I didn't want to open clamshell to get out/put in. It happened that I found at a local shop this Mykel hardside with front flap.Best Feature: The interior of the front flap has a zippered divider that allows you to open it almost like a regular top-side softshell suitcase, without having to open the book-like clamshell. Which means you don't need double space to open up your carry-on. You can access the entire interior from the front flap!! You can't see it in the photos, but I promise that flap has another zipper that gives access to the main interior.I use a waterproof nylon weekender bag for my personal bag to shove under the airplane seat (and it has pockets to carry my water bottle / travel coffee mugs,) but this Mykel carry-on ticks off almost all the boxes when it comes to functionality and minimalistic aesthetics. There aren't a lot of niche corners and bulky additions to the suitcase where dirt and bugs can hide, and it's super sturdy. Because it's a carry-on that you need to access frequently, this carry-on, like most, will not have a custom cover that will protect it from the scuffs and stickers that airlines and porters may stick on it, but it's also unlikely to be checked in. It traveled internationally with me through some rough spots and came out looking almost new, the way polycarbonate luggage does. I did get a few snarky comments from colleagues when I used it as my laptop roller in the office (it *is* bigger than a regular laptop roller, obviously,) but a glare or simple "I bring gifts....but not for you," seems to quell the smarta$$es if I don't feel like laughing it off in self-deprecation about carrying a large burden. I digress.I have the black, but I do wish the Mykel came in all the other colors that the other Traveler's Choice trunks I have. Nevertheless, it's one of the best luggage pieces I have, and I would buy another in a flash if it came in the color of my other trunks or if one of my family members needed one.Why are you reading my story? Just get it already.
