Best for: Weekly road warriors who live out of the bin, and overpackers determined to carry on anyway.
We publish both numbers. The case dimensions (the packing body only) are 49.53 x 34.93 x 22.86 cm (19.5 x 13.75 x 9 in.). The overall dimensions, which include wheels and carry handles, are 55.88 x 35.56 x 22.86 cm (22 x 14 x 9 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 (55.88 x 35.56 x 22.86 cm (22 x 14 x 9 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.) |

| 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.
This Carry-on bag has been sizer bin tested to accommodate overhead bin space on most major US airlines. Fully expanded Carry-On may not meet airline restrictions.
Maximize your options. Minimize the weight. The Maxlite® 5 Compact Carry-on Expandable Spinner gives you the freedom to carry-on – almost anywhere, with a compact spinner that is ultra-lightweight yet super durable. Designed to comply with published carry-on size restrictions of most major domestic airlines, this smaller spinner still holds plenty, and a zippered expansion option gives you up to 2” additional interior capacity when needed.
Inside, the ECOFAB™ lining of this spinner is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles to help reduce environmental waste, then treated with H2O guard for moisture resistance. A full-length interior lid pocket, side accessory pocket, and adjustable hold-down straps offer endless packing possibilities and the flexibility to accommodate a variety of packing accessories. When it’s time to go, 4-wheel spinners rotate 360° for a smooth roll in any direction, a lightweight, PowerScope Lite handle adjusts to accommodate users of different heights, and the Patented Contour Grip has a rubberized finish for hand comfort and easier steering.

"Very happy with this bag, lightweight and good quality zippers and wheels."
"I love the Orchid color. It is easy to find. The many pockets are very practical. The wheels run smoothly."
"like the light weight, great wheels and handle goes up and down easily"
"Far smaller than expected. Good quality though."
"Durability will be a matter of time. Have only travelled with this a few times. Would be able to review better in the future"
"The handle when it is extended keeps releasing after a minute or two. This is disconcerting."
"Have not used the piece as of yet. Therefore not in a position to provide any type of rating."
"Taken this bag on a couple of trips now and it has been great exactly what I wanted."
"I would definitely recommend this to someone who has an upcoming trip on a budget airline and who is also packing light. EXCELLENT BUILD QUALITY however I found it annoying when it would constantly topple forward. The way around this is pushing it forward with the front facing away, then pulling back so that the wheels stick out facing forward. Otherwise great bag, great brand. I will buy the larger hard cases when they go on sale."
"good quality in general, rolls smoothly, easy to use, very light but solid, fits a lot of things. However, it is not properly balanced on the wheels, so it tilts and falls (face plant) all the time."
