American Tourister Stratum XLT Hardside Luggage, Blue Spruce, Carry-On

Product Information

To acquire a balance between space and convenience, prefer medium luggage, ideal for trips lasting several days to a week. If your New Year’s resolution involves travel, then there’s nothing like a new suitcase to make it a reality. Carry On Spinner is perfect for a 1-3 day trip, this little guy has everthing you need to make your quick getway stress free and fun! Samsonite® Travel Equipment is always performance tested, at fully loaded capacity, using our stringent quality control standards. The right suitcase is not just a travel accessory; it's your reliable partner in creating memorable travel experiences.

The Stratum is one of the few box-style suitcases we tested that doesn't include a TSA-approved lock.

That's handy since you're likely to lay the bag down on the handle of the suitcase, meaning the left side will be the one that you open. There seemed to be a stark divide amongst our testers regarding hard-sided bags, and it generally stems from their function. Whether you're going on a short weekend getaway or a month-long expedition, having the right luggage size is crucial. This attention to quality and performance is why Samsonite is Worldproof® and has been for nearly 100 years. With its streamlined design, dash of style, and expandable capacity, the American Tourister Stratum XLT was a promising option.

And let us guess: You’re also looking for something that’s affordable, especially after all that extra spending you probably did in December, right? Duffles are highly adaptable bags designed to accommodate various travel scenarios, from weekend getaways to sports activities and everything in between. So the next time you’re rolling through TSA lines, running from one gate to the next, or finding space in the overhead compartment, this traveler-loved carry-on luggage is sure to make your journey a bit smoother. However, this suitcase doesn't hold as much as our favorite options, even when we expanded the extra fabric band.

It also only has two external haul handles, making it one of the hardest bags in our review to move around.
