American Tourister Stratum XLT Hardside Luggage, Blue Spruce, Carry-On

Product Information

American Tourister is a trusted global brand offering high-quality travel products like luggage, backpacks, and accessories. They are the most bare-bones version of what you need, with roomy storage spaces and restraints to keep your things in place long enough to unzip the bag. It also only has two external haul handles, making it one of the hardest bags in our review to move around. A comfortable luggage trolley ensures that you can fully enjoy the journey, as it takes away the hassle and stress of managing your luggage. Large suitcases are generous in size; these suitcases are ideal for extended vacations, family travel, or journeys requiring extra packing space.

Yes, we provide stylish laptop trolly bags like Chole to enhance your travel experience while you are on a business trip.They are perfect for travelers who want to roll their luggage effortlessly, sparing themselves the strain of carrying a heavy bag. If your New Year’s resolution involves travel, then there’s nothing like a new suitcase to make it a reality. The wheels on the Stratum look less than inspiring, though, and we don't like how it looks or feels with the stretchy expander fabric deployed. It will make it over gravel and rougher pavement or cobblestones as well, but it jumps around more than any other bag in our test.

The right suitcase is not just a travel accessory; it's your reliable partner in creating memorable travel experiences. The handles are also easy to grab and give a bit when you haul on them, making them comfortable to use.

This sturdy, carry-on compliant bag has outer zippers that allow it to expand, making it nearly an inch wider, meaning you’re able to pack in that much more for your adventures.

Weekender/trekking backpacks are designed for outdoor adventures and may include features like rain covers and eco-friendly materials. That's handy since you're likely to lay the bag down on the handle of the suitcase, meaning the left side will be the one that you open.This is plenty if you just need the basics; it doesn't include any outer pockets for items you'll need on the day of travel, but it won't matter if you have a personal item for those things. The wheels are smaller and shimmy more than we like, making the Stratum less stable in general, even tipping over when coming off curbs. So, if you’re looking for a sleek new travel aesthetic, then this suitcase could be exactly what you’re looking for with its modern, streamlined design. We miss the security but appreciate that the zippers don't have the awkward metal loop that the integrated locks seem to require.

Casual backpacks are perfect for everyday use, while laptop backpacks offer dedicated compartments to safeguard your tech gear.
