Birmingham Ballistic Nylon Expandable Rollaboard Luggage, Red, Carry-on 21-Inch

Slightly less expanding than I hoped

More durable than expected. Checked the bag and it made it for Atlanta to NJ and back again with no issues. Great bag, love the company. Top quality.

This is a fantastic carry-on for the price point. Ive owned others of similar price and quality such as the Revo Spin 2. This has well thought-out features and build. Tough nylon, nice zippers. The feet are slightly elongated to make the bag lean at a slight angle. This allows you to use the expansion and stuff your bag full without it tipping over.The handle has a little play to it, but again, this seems to be par for this price point. As long as you dont yank, twist, or lift violently, it will be fine. If you are only going to bring this on board a plane and stow it overhead then you this will work perfectly. Checking this luggage (which I dont plan on doing) could subject it to damage that it might not be able to withstand. The handle might take a beating, even in the collapsed position, that it couldnt survive. The wheels are somewhere between soft rubber and hard plastic. They roll smooth and arent too noisy. Definitely better than many spinner wheels which are hard plastic and loud. They could have done a little better with these. But they are stable and wont break off.

Took it on 6 Separate flights recently, Held up well. It fit in the US Airways and Alaska Airlines over head storage without any problems. I would buy again. Had enough room for 3-4 days of clothing

UPDATE 1 STAR FOR THE 21... After loving the Travelers Choice Birmingham 25 suitcase, we decided to purchase the Travelers Choice Birmingham Ballistic Nylon Expandable Rollaboard Luggage, Red, Carry-on 21-Inch. This is a completely different design and is horrible! The top and side handles protrude out like a semi-circle and they do NOT fold down! That means my tote bag cannot sit on top of the case when placed over the trolley handles! The zippers also get stuck on the carry-on and workmanship has definitely gone downhill. Sorry, but this one is getting returned. So disappointed.

Not 29 inches!!!! The bag itself is great but its not 29 inches its more like 20 I just kept it because I need a carry on and Its perfect in this case but now I have to buy a new 29 suitcase

1. Interior size is smaller than advertised;

Its been great so far.

The suitcase was extremely nice, just a bit smaller than I needed, so I had to return it.

Love, love, love....
