SwissGearSion Softside Expandable Luggage, Evergreen, Checked-Medium 25-Inch

I wanted a soft-side carry-on that was attractive with compartments, easy-roll, lightweight, and high-quality. I was prepared to pay a couple hundred dollars if need be so I scoured the internet for options (literally days and hours) and decided on this SwissGear carry on bag. Perfect bag with everything I desired and plus it is much more attractive and more lightweight than the Tumi I had been given as a gift (now sold! Ha). SO grateful for this quality bag. Traveled with it several times now.

The product was exactly what I wanted for a trip to Europe, but the packaging was dreadful. Although the product suffered no damage, the box it was shipped in literally fell apart at the front door.

I waffled over whether this was a necessary purchase because we have quite a bit of luggage, but I am so glad I took the plunge. I finally realized that packing a large suitcase is just too heavy and unwieldy, not to mention that it just encourages over packing. I considered getting the carry on sized bag, but these days there’s no guarantee you will find room in the overhead compartments and it’s a little too small for my needs anyway. This medium sized bag holds a shocking amount of stuff. I packed for a week long trip and was able to get an entire CPAP machine/ bag, a very large toiletries bag, a pair of shoes, a large raincoat, a week’s worth of clothing plus two hiking poles and souvenirs into this bag without even having to unzip the bag to expand to gain the extra space. I got several compliments on the appearance of the bag. I like to check my luggage anyway, so this being bigger than a carryon is not an issue for me. The wheels seem sturdy and glided over uneven surfaces just fine. This is still new and I’ve only used it once, but I’m already considering getting more pieces from this company for family members or to add on for longer trips. The cost was quite reasonable in my opinion and I’m very glad I didn’t grab something at TJ Maxx like I was considering. They mostly carry hard sided cases, and after reading reviews of luggage in general I decided soft sided is what I wanted as the hard sided is more likely to crack and has no give. There are several pockets for organization. I chose the dark gray color and I’m very happy with it as it stands out at baggage claim easier than black yet seems like it will still show less dirt than a lighter colored bag.

Overall, this bag (25" size) seems well made and sturdy. The interior is roomy and uncluttered, with just one side pocket, which is plenty. The two outside pockets are mostly for show (the lower one has a fake gusset that looks nice but doesn't actually expand), but they'll be useful for a book or two, or travel documents. The wheels are more substantial than some I've seen on other bags -- as I haven't used it yet, I don't know how they'll roll. I like that the bag has a handle on the bottom as well as on the top and side -- that should make it a bit easier to lift. The retractable handle feels a bit lightweight and flimsy. The outer fabric is some sort of textured, unwoven polyester -- it's fairly beefy but I don't know how tear-resistant it will be. I like the grey color -- it's just different enough from the ubiquitous black to make it easy to spot on a luggage carousel. I took off one star for the flimsy handle, non-woven fabric, and fake gusset, but I'm pleased with it otherwise. There are better quality bags out there, but this is a nice bag for the money -- it's well designed and I've spent more for less.

Excellent product. Well made but lighter than most similarly sized suitcases.Well constructed, heavy duty zippers, highly functional pockets inside and out, and sturdy handle that locks in place but retracts without resistanceWheels track wonderfully and it pulls effortlessly.Best overnight bag I’ve ever owned.

I do a lot of traveling and this bag packs a lot of punch. It is lightweight, durable, the wheels work well and it is simple enough to use features easily. The capacity is adequate for most short trips and can fit in most overhead bins. After multiple national and international trips, it is showing almost no signs of wear.

Love that this is sturdy but light - it really holds a lot. Would strongly recommend!

This is the second suitcase of this brand and style that I have purchased. I liked the 20" carry on so well, when I needed something slightly larger, I bought the same one in the 24". The case is heavy duty and the zippers are robust and feel tough. It wheels nicely, and when expanded you can pack A LOT in there. I can get a weeks worth of clothes, shoes and toiletries in the carry on! The handle is fine, it can be a bit wobbly, but it does not feel cheap or like it is going to break. I like the side handle for heaving it up into the airplane storage- it makes it easy to handle. People are often surprised how heavy my bag is and how easily I can move it with the handle options. I also like that it is nicely balanced- it does not tip over which I HATE in cheaper bags. I have used the heck out of these bags and find, for the money, they are well worth the purchase!!

Perfect accessory to go with 19” carry on.Mid size case
