U.S. Traveler Aviron Bay Expandable Softside Spinner Wheels, Teal, 3 Piece Luggage

High quality! My teenage daughter has used this 22" carry-on on roadtrips and through international airports and trains, and it has held up great! I will likely buy more when my other suitcases wear out. It is easy to roll because wheels spin in all directions. It's expandable, and a perfect size (until airlines change their requirements).

Edit: update. against my better judgement I DID take it on another flight and I am just grateful that it did not completely burst apart. I would have never used this except my family (3 people) was travelling for only 2 nights for my son's college graduation and we didn't need 3 separate suitcases. All it had was 9 changes of clothes and it only weighed 23lbs at check in. The back seam ripped apart and the metal wire around by the zipper was ripped out and bent. I do not recommend this to anyone.-------I bought this on vacation because I needed a 2nd bag and this one had decent reviews, was relatively inexpensive, and would get there quickly. Unfortunately I only used it one time and the seam on top strap is coming apart. It's not like this was overloaded, it didn't even weigh 30lbs. Although The bag seems sturdy this gives me a lot of concern about it ripping apart in other spots and possibly losing items. The bag looks nice and it is definitely roomy enough. The spinner wheels make it easy to lug around which is good because, again, the strap is coming off. I can't give it any more than 3 stars because I don't feel confident using this to fly again. Maybe taking it on a car trip but that's about it, and I don't really need a big suitcase for that.

Gift for my son. He says he likes it. Sturdy and spacious.

Love this, durable, nice color strong material, will be fully tested on my upcoming cruise in September.

Good

I recently purchased the U.S. Traveler Aviron Bay Expandable Softside Luggage with Spinner Wheels in Purple, specifically the 30-inch variant, for my upcoming trip. Having used it extensively, I can provide an honest and thorough review of this product. While it offers several commendable features, there are a few areas that could use improvement.First and foremost, the expandable feature of this luggage is truly impressive. It provides ample space for packing, allowing me to fit in all my essentials and even some extra items. The added flexibility comes in handy, especially when returning with souvenirs and gifts. The zippers are smooth and durable, ensuring that the expansion doesn't compromise the integrity of the luggage. However, it is worth noting that when fully expanded, the luggage becomes bulkier and may exceed the size restrictions of some airlines.The spinner wheels on the Aviron Bay luggage are a game-changer. They glide effortlessly across various surfaces, including smooth airport floors and uneven pavements. Maneuvering through crowded terminals and narrow spaces is a breeze, thanks to the smooth and multidirectional spinner wheels. They provide excellent stability and prevent the luggage from tipping over, even when it is heavily loaded. The telescopic handle is sturdy and extends and retracts easily, adding to the overall convenience.One aspect that left me disappointed was the overall durability of the luggage. While it held up reasonably well during my travels, I noticed some signs of wear and tear, particularly on the corners and edges. The fabric seemed prone to fraying, and the stitching could be stronger. Considering the investment I made, I expected a higher level of durability. It would be beneficial for U.S. Traveler to address this issue and reinforce the luggage's construction to ensure it withstands the rigors of frequent travel.Another area where the Aviron Bay luggage fell short was in its organization and storage compartments. While the main compartment was spacious and could accommodate my belongings, I found the lack of smaller pockets and dividers inconvenient. It made it difficult to keep things organized, and I often had to rummage through my belongings to find specific items. Additional interior pockets or a removable divider would greatly enhance the functionality of this luggage, making it more user-friendly.One aspect I appreciated about the Aviron Bay luggage was its lightweight design. Despite the spacious interior, the luggage itself is relatively light, allowing me to maximize my packing without exceeding weight limits imposed by airlines. This was particularly advantageous during my return trip when I had accumulated more items. The lightweight nature of the luggage reduced strain on my arms and back, contributing to a more comfortable travel experience.The TSA-approved combination lock featured on the Aviron Bay luggage is a convenient security measure. It provides peace of mind knowing that my belongings are safe and protected during transit. The lock is easy to set and reset, ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to the contents. However, the lock mechanism itself feels somewhat flimsy, and I question its long-term durability. A sturdier lock mechanism would enhance the overall security aspect of this luggage.Lastly, I want to mention the aesthetic appeal of the Aviron Bay luggage. The purple color option I chose is vibrant and eye-catching, making it easy to spot on the baggage carousel. The overall design is sleek and modern, exuding a sense of sophistication. While appearance may not be the most crucial factor when it comes to luggage, it's always nice to have a visually appealing travel companion.In conclusion, the U.S. Traveler Aviron Bay Expandable Softside Luggage with Spinner Wheels in Purple is a mixed bag in terms of performance. Its expandable feature and smooth spinner wheels make it a reliable travel companion, allowing for easy maneuverability and efficient packing. However, there are areas that could use improvement, such as durability, organization, and the lock mechanism. If U.S. Traveler addresses these concerns, it has the potential to be an exceptional piece of luggage that caters to the needs of frequent travelers.

Is it normal for suitcases like these to have a wandering mind? A lot of times they go whatever direction they choose. My husband said we need to grease the wheels. Other than that they were great. We didn’t need to expand them.. The usual space was more than sufficient for a one week getaway vacay. They fit in the airplane overhead with room to spare. They were for sure much better than our old ones.

Handle broke spectacularly (plastic piece flew off when I tried to extend) after 2 years and a handful of trips. Wheels were never smooth and glidey.Also it’s a bit big for being a carry on, I got the 22 inch size but it seemed on the very top of the allowed size on the flights I was on.
