Best for: Business travellers who refuse to check a bag, and overpackers determined to carry on anyway.
We publish both numbers. The case dimensions (the packing body only) are 50.8 x 38.1 x 19.6 cm (20 x 15 x 7.75 in.). The overall dimensions, which include wheels and carry handles, are 55.2 x 40 x 19.6 cm (21.75 x 15.75 x 7.75 in.). When airlines publish size limits they mean the overall size, so compare the overall number to your airline's limit.
This bag is sizer-bin tested against the carry-on sizers and overhead bins of mainline aircraft. Its overall dimensions sit within the commonly published 56 x 36 x 23 cm (22 x 14 x 9 in.) standard. Canadian carriers publish their own limits, so compare the overall dimensions (55.2 x 40 x 19.6 cm (21.75 x 15.75 x 7.75 in.)) against your airline:
| Airline | Published carry-on limit |
|---|---|
| Air Canada | 55 x 40 x 23 cm (21.5 x 15.5 x 9 in.) |
| WestJet | 53 x 38 x 23 cm (21 x 15 x 9 in.) |
| Air Transat | 51 x 40 x 23 cm (20 x 15.5 x 9 in.) |
| American Airlines | 56 x 36 x 23 cm (22 x 14 x 9 in.) |
Regional jets have smaller bins, so expect to gate-check on those flights regardless of brand. And every bag is covered by our 30-day return policy.
Yes. The zippered expansion adds extra packing depth, and a fully expanded bag may not fit a strict airline sizer. If your airline enforces its sizer, board with the bag unexpanded and save the expansion for the trip home or checked segments.
Yes. The exterior fabric has a DuraGuard® coating that resists water and stains, so it holds up to rainy sidewalks and daily wear.
Start at our Customer Service Center, where you can register your bag, file a warranty claim, and request replacement parts. If the issue is covered, Travelpro provides replacement parts or, when a bag cannot be repaired under an active warranty, a replacement bag. Full coverage details are on the warranty information page, and common fixes you can do yourself are in our luggage repair guide.
Use a 50/50 mixture of alcohol and water, apply with a soft cloth, and gently rub the affected area until the spot lifts. Let the bag air dry completely before storing. A little lemon juice in the mixture freshens the fabric. More care tips are in our customer FAQ.
This product is covered by the Maxlite® 5 Warranty, plus our 30-day return policy. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship.

"Not sure where the hype is from. Basic suitcase. Mono directional wheels like in the 70’s. Better options available especially at the price point. Do not recommend"
"I'm very happy with my purchase. I ordered my bag on Sunday and it arrived on Wednesday. Good quality bag. I was looking for a light weight bag for International travel, I needed something that would allow me to comply with the 8kg weight restriction for carry on. Looking forward to testing it on my upcoming trip to the Azores."
"This is a gift for someone else. It appears to be as described on the site. The delivery was good and easy to track. We are glad to buy Canadian."
"I'm very pleased with my bag. I used it as my only suitcase to travel around Japan for 12 days. No regrets!"
"Just perfect for all the above"
"Like it"
"La plus grande des petites valises😁 Seulement 2 roues donc plus robuste."
"Great for our 7-12 day sojourns through Canada. Light and extremely sturdy. Just love it."
"My only comment, other than I love this suitcase, is the colour is not the same as my big suitcase and roll-under suitcase? They are all described as Maui Blue, but this smaller suitcase is a darker blue. I still love it, but I’m very match-matchy. I like it so I’m keeping it, just a note."
"Excellent light weight carry on. Have 2 of them now. Fits in the airline carry on size tester. 2 wheels is the best style"
