Béis built The Carry-On Roller for people who pack a lot. It holds 49 L and expands by 2 inches to 61 L, the most of any bag we compared, and wider compression straps keep things in place. A built-in weight indicator helps you avoid fees, a TSA-approved lock sits with gap-free tapered zippers, and a redesigned bag hook carries up to 30 lbs, so a tote can ride on the case through the terminal. The shell is polycarbonate with polyester and PU trim and a stain-resistant finish, and the handle has a cushioned grip. Luggage is covered by a limited lifetime warranty. The catch is size. Béis lists the exterior at 22.83 x 15.70 x 10 inches and weight at 7.81 lbs, which is larger than the 22 x 14 x 9 in. limit American, Delta and United publish. Béis itself calls this the mid-size roller and sells a Small Carry-On, which is the safer pick for strict airlines.
Who it is for
Overpackers who fly airlines with roomy carry-on limits and want to avoid overweight fees.
Price
$268.
