Carry-On Plus

I am extremely satisfied with the Carry-on Plus! There are already many detailed reviews outlining the great features of this luggage, but one thing I was most concerned with is whether this luggage would fit in the overhead for short-haul flights in North America that are on slightly smaller aircrafts. I can happily confirm that not only did it fit in the overhead compartment smoothly (no shoving required), it also fit fine in the Delta carry-on sizer (just make sure to put wheels-in first).

The anti-microbial fabric is a very nice touch, and aesthetically I love the matching zippers to the body of the suitcase. The handle was extremely sturdy, and I received my purchase within 2 business days. Happy to have found a Canadian brand to support!

I travel on business every week for a luxury design and real estate company. I am verrrry particular on my choices for everything. I read reviews and watch videos first also about the coolest carry-ons from Away, Calpac, Victorinox, Roam, Beis, and others with a design that I could live with. All design and quality factors pointed the Monos. I didn't need to spend over $300 to find a great larger 21-22" carry-on suitcase. I was concerned about cheaper price points that I have had before. I did not want a heavy weight either. I did not want a shiny scratchable over-modelled design grooved into the hard case. I wanted sophistication but with real quality. Delivery took less than a week, and I sooo relieved when I opened it up....everything I hoped for. So far after 2 weeks, no issues, an easy choice that you can be proud of. Looks great, works great!

What sold me on the Monos was the poly, the wheels, the zipper, the interior, the handle, the lock, made in Canada.

I was on the fence between the carry-on and the carry-on plus. It's really hard to know exactly what size you need, and I've definitely seen times where suitcases don't fit in the overhead and it sucks. I decided to give the plus size a shot, and compare it to my wife's suitcase which she's used many times and never had an issue with.

Side by side, they are the same size. I think her bag comes in a little thicker, but slightly narrower. Either way, I'm very confident this bag will be just fine for all my travels. If it needs to be checked on a smaller airline, I think that's an OK price to pay for ~8 L of additional space.

Space-wise, this thing feels huge on the inside. It's well thought out and comes with some high quality bags for your shoes and laundry. This is something I've never used but always wanted, so I'm glad they were included. The hardware inside is very solid and I fully expect it to last the life of this bag with no issues. Moves smoothly and feels rugged, but also looks nice. A good balance.

The 7-8 lb weight was a bit concerning at first, but it's actually quite light once you pick it up and see the size of this thing. It's lighter than the aforementioned "wife's bag" and again she's never had any issues with carry-on eligibility. So I am 100% confident I won't either.

Everything else about this bag is exactly as the other reviews have said. High quality handle, feels sturdy. Wheels roll easily and silently. Shell is lightweight but doesn't seem fragile.…
