Thule Subterra Carry On Roller 22, Black

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

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 couldn’t get it apart.

They sent me a Carry On dirty! Full of dust! Looks like the product was for long time under the Sun because the color has changed! Discolored!

I just used this suitcase on a short trip and absolutely love it. The design is both visually appealing and functionally ideal. The suitcase opens down the middle and one side is a fully open section (with a flat cover that can be adjusted to keep clothes in place and keep them from falling out when the suitcase is opened) and the other side is about 3/4 of the side of the suitcase with a zipper to close. The final 1/4 of that side of the suitcase is taken up by a pouch that unzips from the front of the suitcase and allows for storing things that you need easy access to. What I love about that pouch is that it is big enough to hold larger items like a book or a toiletry bag without a problem. I was able to use this bag as my carry-on bag and not need a second personal item like a backpack because of the convenience of how this bag is laid out.

Wow. Fabulous piece. Great size. Exactly what I was looking for.

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.

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.

Great Luggage you will not be disappointed.

The Thule Subterra 22 Carry-on is a great piece of luggage with a lot of strong features. Its not perfect, however, and Ill also try to cover some of the weaknesses in this review.
