With that all said, here are a few bags that were in the running for our top picks.
- Db Hugger Rollerbag Carry-On 40L (9.1): This is the rolling carry-on version of Db’s popular Hugger Backpack. It has a huge opening that is easy to pack and an innovative “rib cage” design that combines the flexibility of soft-sided luggage with the protection of a hardshell suitcase.
- Aer Carry-On (9.1): Aer is one of our favorite backpack companies, and they released a hardside suitcase in May 2024. We haven’t had the chance to test it yet, but it checks all the boxes and looks pretty awesome. Keep an eye out for a full review from us once we get our hands on this suitcase.
- Samsonite Freeform Carry-On Spinner (8.7): The Freeform Carry-On is one of our favorites from the brand. It’s not quite as feature-packed as some of our top picks, but it is reliable and surprisingly affordable.
- Away The Carry-On (8.5): Away is possibly the most trendy luggage brand right now, but we honestly think it is overhyped. It has all the Aways staples: a sturdy hardshell design, effortless 360-degree spinner wheels, and great organization. This is a good bag, but the Monos carry-on is just a bit better and less expensive.
- AmazonBasics 20-inch Hardside Spinner (7.5): This bag isn’t anything special, but it’s way cheaper than all other options on this list and surprisingly good for the price. If you’re not trying to spend a wad of cash, this isn’t a bad choice.
