Sion Carry-On Spinner Luggage, Softside Expandable, Lightweight Suitcase, Dark Grey, 22.75-Inch

3.5 years later: I definitely recommend this bag. It's well-made, roomy (despite being a carry on), and fairly light. I used it regularly for 3.5 years, including overpacking it and the fabric/zippers were sturdy. After those 3.5 years, one of the wheels degraded a bit and was hard to roll. The bag was still under the original Swissgear warranty, and the process to replace my bag was very easy. I had a replacement bag in hand within 5 days of my warranty claim. I'd definitely purchase this (and other Swissgear products) again. I also really love the color!

I bought 2 of these for a family trip to Europe where even checked luggage has size restrictions. I didn’t want to buy normal TUMI brand in bulk for the family as it didn’t seem cost effective and I figured if they even lasted a year or two I’d be happy… man I have been VERY pleasantly surprised. They are not the same quality as TUMI, but definitely much higher quality than other suitcases I’ve purchased through the years. They roll very easily even after 2 years of use. Absolutely no issues with the materials breaking and zippers are still as easy to use as day 1 (and they worked very well on day 1 by the way). My most recent trip with one of the bags I had an issue with the handle where one side didn’t come up with the other when lifting the handle because one of the screws in the handle had come loose. Since I was traveling, I didn’t have access to a screwdriver to tighten it and used a credit card to tighten the best possible, ultimately lost the screw in the trip. Again, although it was a little weird walking the bag around with only 1 “leg” of the handle up, the bag handle still went up and down easily with the 1 good “leg”. When i returned home I contacted Swiss gear customer service and they promptly agreed to send me the replacement screw. I expect the bags will last for many more years based on their current wear and amazing customer service! If you’re looking for an economic alternative to high end carry-on luggage- this is the ticket!

After usage, here's a long, detailed review for this small-ish carry-on. This luggage was purchased in 2022, but didn't have an opportunity to use it until 2024. The suitcase was put through a lot more heavy duty use for an international trip in 2026. This size is perfect for long weekend trips. Or if you really know how to pack, and minimize for travel, this can suffice for potential extended periods of 2 weeks, a month, etc. I'm not a packing minimalist. Over time and with each trip, I've become better about streamlining, bringing what I need along with some of the wants. Between this luggage and a personal bag, I for sure got 3-4 days worth of toiletries, clothes, electronics, etc. The suitcase, minus electronics for the plane, I think could handle 4 days. Maybe even 7 days, with laundering. Adding souveniers, depending the dimensions, could push the limits. Winter travel may reduce how many days worth could fit. I think with layering winter outfits, the same amount of days could apply. The opening of the luggage has a little bit of a lip at the bottom by the wheels. Unlike the top and sides of the suitcase, you can't directely place items inside without tipping it at a slight angle, then inserting. I think this probably makes a difference when trying to stuff as much as you can inside the suitcase. The lip somehow prevents making it easier to cram if it's completely packed to capacity. I attempted to do carry on only, but due to the itinerary, it was easier to check the bag. Plus, this size is just an inch or two over most strict international dimensions. It's fine for most domestic US airlines, though it seems even domestic airlines are cracking down on carry-on guidelines with weight and sizing. You may be able to get away with putting this carry-on in an overhead bin, but I don't like the stress of wondering which agent and which airline may or may not allow it on the plane, or having to gate check. As for wear and tear, this suitcase was fine on cobblestone, but admittedly by the time I got to the cobblestone portion of the trip, it got old transporting luggage. This was after handling the weight of a personal bag and the contents of the carry-on through several legs of trains, planes, automobiles, airport terminals, and hours of day long walking through them all. From all the lifting through stairs, escalators, gaps of elevators, pushing through cobblestones, the only thing I would eventually question is the sturdiness of the telescoping handle. It got a little twisty pushing it through some places, maneuvering cobblestone. All four wheels having independent movement helps, but often doesn't matter with those old world surfaces. But it held up. Aside from the handle, the rest of the luggage is incredibly reliable. I prefer softside luggage for the reliability in baggage handling. No worries on cracking, scuffs or scratches. The luggage expansion came in handy with additional souvenirs. It was quite welcome while repacking. Providing just enough extra room to accomodate. The dimensions and the weight are pretty accurate. The weight is just slightly under 8lbs. Handles on three sides (top, bottom, one side) was also a huge help, especially on trains. Made lifting it up to a luggage rack with height a lot easier. The top handle slides out a little to provide additional give. The other two handles are standard and just as sturdy. The zippers are all a nice thickness, or wide, sturdy and smooth. They are not flimsy, and you don't have to worry about them easily breaking. For longer work trips, work/leisure trips with extreme climates, very involved itineraries, or work trips involving a lot of supplies/gear, I would definitely size up to standard checked luggage or larger. Overall, this a great carry-on suitcase for short trips, work or vacation. It's small enough that lifting it, even fully packed, won't be too much of a strain. It easily moves on flat surfaces of terminals, can handle cobblestones in international spaces, and can withstand rough handling.

The size is great and holds more than your average 22' suitcase, which is why we bought it. Our family flies 4-5x per year, with usually one international trip. We try to travel with only carry-ons so this is perfect for that. However, the wheels have not held up over time. After about the tenth use, the wheels started wobbling. This still rolls great if you roll it upright but if you have to sprint through an airport and "tilt and roll", it is useless. Summary: this is great if you take 1-2 trips a year and want to rely on a carry-on. If you are a heavy-duty traveler, purchase the warranty.

Full disclosure: I am a paralyzed traveler. I need a carry-on that is rock solid in terms of functionality and durability. I’ve used this luggage extensively in the six months that I’ve owned it. My limited mobility makes me hard on my luggage. I bought this product to replace a very expensive Hartman carry on. I also a big T. Anthony fan/purchaser. I have high standards. I’m blown away by this item, especially given its v affordable price point. There is a lot of great to say about this luggage: First, it is perfectly designed in that there are two outside pockets that are perfect for carrying a billfold, cell phone, etc. They do not interfere with being able to open the luggage completely or partially in terms of accessing the main storage area. This is quite clever. Second, inside, it is super sturdy with an interior metal frame. The wheels are super solid and roll well with little resistance. Nice touches include a large dedicated pocket for dirty laundry and a separate toiletries pocket. U won’t need to pack a separate dop kit (saving space). The telescoping handle works well. If I had one improvement in the design, it would be to allow this handle to lock before full extension. I lock my luggage when I leave my hotel room. The zippers have holes at the end to facilitate this. I also like that the handle for carrying the luggage horizontally, is exceptionally strong and perfect for my lock so that I may store it under my bed to lock it to the bed frame. Last, I purchased mine in Royal Navy blue. I must say with the Swiss flag in red and white, it is stylish indeed! I very much look forward to packing it and loading it for my next adventure. Also, I am not a paid reviewer or so-called influencer. Just a happy customer.

You can't say but so much about luggage until it's been on the road and roughly handled at the airport plenty of times. That said, this bag rolled a couple of miles over cobblestones, got jostled on trains and planes, and was otherwise put through its paces on a recent European vacation. What I can say is that if you like soft-sided bags, this one is worth considering. The material feels rugged, the zippers work well and seem to be a proper gauge (I'll always take heavier ones, but these are fine). The extensible handle is about as sturdy as most - - which is not saying a lot. The two sewn handles are confidence inspiring. My last bag had the same general design and capacity but did not have swivel coasters. This bag does. They don't necessarily look as resilient as i might wish, but on the other hand, they withstood a pretty good pounding on my most recent trip. I'm inclined to try to find a spare roller to keep in the bag. I like the fact that it's is properly balanced so that it doesn't fall over when it's fully packed. My last roller bag would do that, and it was a real pain. This one stands nicely and will roll away on a slope if you're not vigilant. This bag is attractive in the burgundy color, and it fits without any problems into a full-size airplane or train overhead compartment. I travel fairly frequently, so if any shortcomings arise, I'll update my review. For now, though, the value seems solid for someone who refuses to spend over $250 for a bag of this size.

The size is spot on, especially with an expandiable side zipper. Two front pockets provide easy access for your wallet, phone, etc., and the color is bright and expensive looking. Picture true to real thing. It's not the cheapest carry-on luggage, but it's not the most expensive either. It is the Goldilock of Carry-On's.

This is my second time buying this bag. It is perfect for a 2-3 day trip. I can squeeze 4-5 if it’s not a work trip with suit jackets. I have taken this faithful bag with me on over 75 work trips and another 20 personal trips. The wheels have held up. The fabric is durable. Zippers have held tight and closed. Lightweight, but not fragile at all. The handle has gained some scratches over the years, but truthfully, continues to function well. I had to buy a second one of these a few years ago because my wheels broke on the last one after about 10 years of heavy use. I think this suitcase is comfortable to navigate through airports. Easy to lift into trunks and the overhead bin with a top and side fabric handle. Two front pockets that I find very useful and hold a lot of my extras/last minute packs. Keeps my clothes and products nicely protected from the elements!

Excellent case for a night away and some retail therapy. A good amount of room in there without using the expanding option. Very good quality and the outer pockets are useful too for easy to grab items, hat, gloves, brolly etc. I don't intend to use this as a cabin bag so not sure the size is compatible with that in mind as it is chunky but that is exactly what I wanted.

It was nice offer 11 Nov

The case is well made the wheels are a little tight or stiff this might ease with time and the wear in.. don't try and take it on Ryan air as you will get charged even though according to their dimensions it should be fine overall the case was fine

Excelente capacidad y calidad 👍🏻

Quedé enamorada de la maleta, es tal cual como la foto. Tela resistente, el asa sube y baja tan fácil, las ruedas están geniales, como si flotara a penas la empujas... valió la pena invertir un poco más en este producto. Por cierto, en la descripción no sale, pero dentro tiene una bolista transparente para los productos de higiene personal. Ah! y cuando abres los compartimientos delanteros tiene a los lados una tela para que no se te caiga nada en lo que abres a buscar algo... simplemente enamorada del producto!
