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.
