Thule Subterra Carry On Roller 22, Black

This is a quality piece of luggage…sleek, sturdy and rolls great. It it is lightweight which makes it much easier to pull and lift when stowing in overhead carry on. It is very well designed and can hold a surprising amount of clothing due to a very handy removable cover inside that locks down to compress clothing. It has additional spacious compartments for shoes or other bulky items. A family member has had the same Thule luggage for 4 years now, used on many extensive trips and it’s still in excellent shape. Highly recommend!

Excellent

This is my initial reaction - I received the carry on but havent used it yet.

It seems like most of the reviews here are from people who received the suitcase for free in order to get them to review it. Well, I got it the old fashioned way: bought it. I wanted a somewhat smaller suitcase for 2-3 day business trips and my 22 TravelPro Crew 9 was a bit more than I needed. I also wanted something more stylish, which the Thule certainly provides. Overall, I like the Thules style and size. However, I am not a fan of how little you can get into this case. It is about 10% smaller than my travelpro in terms of dimensions, but I can only fit about 1/2 as much into it! There is a large pocket built into the front for storing items, but it takes up a huge amount of space and makes packing much less efficient. There are 2 bars for the handle inside the luggage that also takes up considerable space. Admittedly, the TravelPro Crew has this handle issue too, but is not as severe. I also find the compression board concept useless. It is hard to use and inconvenient. Something they apparently designed but never tested.

Two good reasons to recommend this: it is designed to be very durable, and it is designed to meet airline requirements for carry-on luggage.

The Bad: The only thing I dont really like is the wheels, they are large(which is good) but they are made of a hard plastic and appear to be wearing pretty quickly relative to the rest of the bag.

I was finally able to put this roller bag through a real world test and it passed with flying colors. It was easy to navigate through city streets, train stations and fit well in overhead bin space. I found the interior to have plenty of space, enough for an entire suit, including accessories, dress shoes, a pair of jeans and a tshirt, as well as many cord and some electronics. The partition that allows you smash down one side actually works really well and is very easy to pull on and off. the material seems durable and I think its going to last, the wheels also dont show any wear that would make me think theyll give out. Thules warranty looks to be pretty good. The handle slid up and down with ease and rose to a comfortable height. Two things I think this unit could use at this price point: It really should have coaster wheels that you can push along and I wish that the logo wasnt as prominent, it really distracts from the minimalism of it.

I am very pleased with the Thule Subterra Carry-On for its clever design and attention to a customer’s needs. Made of nylon, around 7 lbs., with three color choices (Dark Shadow, Mineral, Ember), the smooth nylon finish is easy to clean and carry. One of the most aggravating parts of travel these days, it is a pleasure to bring this Carry-On on board a crowded plane with very little space for extras. (The tough, oversized wheels and telescoping handles are a welcome touch, as is the piggyback strap attachment loop should you need to attach another bag.

This is one of the best looking suitcases you could ever imagine and the quality of the construction and materials is exceptional. And if you need a rolling bag to carry flip flops and 2 tshirts with your board shorts its the ideal suitcase for you.

The sexiest carry on I have now :) clean lines and stays put in its shape in spite of being made of cloth like material..
