Eastpak Tranverz S – 42L Large Wheeled Luggage with Dual Compartments, TSA Lock, Compression Straps & Smooth-Wheeling System, Sunday Grey

I spent most of a day researching hundreds of carry-on bags for an upcoming two-week trip and decided on this one. I was not disappointed in the least!Please be aware that this is a SMALL carry-on, only 20 inches in length. I chose this rather than a 22 inch model because I want to be able to use it as a carry-on bag on both international and domestic flights. If you are interested in a bag for domestic flights only, you may want to consider a 22 inch bag...two inches doesn't sound like much, but it can make a big difference if you'll be acquiring things during travel or traveling in cold weather.What I love most about this bag is that it opens down the center like a book. This allows you to pack each side separately, and there are panels on each side that zip to keep the contents closed. It's like having two separate shallow bags, with the advantage that you don't have to go rummaging all the way to the bottom of a deep bag to find a small item. If you need to carry something that is thicker than one side of the bag you can just leave the interior panels unzipped. There is also an exterior pocket on the front that goes the entire length of the bag, giving it considerably more room.Being a cloth bag, it molds easily into tight spaces like overhead bins. The sturdy compression straps really help to reduce the volume, too. You can really stuff a lot into this bag, and if you fill the front pocket as well as the main compartment it may be too thick to meet carry on regulations...but it's nice to have the extra space available if checking the bag is an option.The tow handle telescopes in three sections, making it long enough for even a very tall person to pull the bag on its wheels without dragging it. The two wide wheels roll smoothly, even on moderately rough surfaces. The wheels are partly recessed into the bag, which significantly reduces the total length compared to a four-wheeled bag (which does not have recessed wheels). A previous reviewer stated a concern that it would be very difficult to change the wheels if they become damaged; however, the liner on the side of the bag where the wheels are mounted has a zipper that would allow you to access the wheel fasteners from the inside. In addition to the tow handle, there are convenient carry handles on the top and one side of the bag so you can carry it like a suitcase.There is an integrated, TSA-compliant combo lock that locks the zipper ends in place; no need to bring a separate lock! You can choose any 3-digit code you like.Finally, this bag has a classic design that is always in style. The canvas-like fabric harkens to an earlier time but doesn't look at all dated. Eastpak has been around for 70 years and they really know how to design a pack! This bag is a little more costly than other bags of its size, but believe me, you will forget the price the first time you use it.

Great for a smaller sized carry on for airlines that have smaller size requirements. You can pack in a lot due to the soft case if you are adding souvenirs while travelling. Zippers are strong and have a good lock. It has a 2 wheel roller with no rotation so can be difficult to navigate through busy/tight spaces compared to something with 4 rotating wheels, but I was still fine for me in Tokyo station.

This is the best carry-on ever. I use it to travel internationally and the size is great. We have two of them. Sturdy enough to check but perfect size for traveling around the city.

Used 2 of these for a carry on only trip covering 4 countries and a month of travel on planes, trains and over cobbled streets came home with them looking brand new. We did end up checking them on the return leg of our journey as we had a 9 hour layover during 32+ hours of plane travel and were frankly just tired. Even that did not put any wear and tear on them. Thank you for a terrific product never had any problems with weight or the size of these bags even had positive comments from a couple of the people checking us thru baggage checks. How cool is that.

Perfect carry-on, surprisingly roomy, very sturdy - very functional

Can hold a decent amount of clothing and when you forget something you can just put it in the center space with out having to open the entire thing. I like that it's soft, it has room to expand or get compacted with the help of the straps. When its empty it hardly takes up space and is very light. Its supposed to be size compliant for overhead bins but i haven't taken it in the cabin with me. Material is medium/heavy duty, survived baggage handling.

I love this bag! It was a little pricy, and I had to shop around, but I love this style and the lightweight, adjustable roominess it offers!

I just LOVE this bag!! The material, the color, the zippered compartments on each side are all VERY useful! Great carryon for use on smaller overseas airlines and easily hold 4-8 packing cubes for long or extended vacations. I would highly recommend this bag and I’m thinking of also buying another in a different color.
