Perfect light weight carry on
This is an absolute perfect carry-on bag for short trips or even as an addition to a checked bag. It is super lightweight yet somehow seems to carry all my essentials. The first time we use this bag it was for my son’s travel soccer tournament, and he was able to pack all of his gear for an entire weekend into this bag. Yet, it’s super lightweight and easy to navigate around the airport for a young guy. Im using this for a short international trip. Again, super lightweight, so easy to navigate through the airport, as well as fits in the carry-on. It’s super durable and I feel like it will be able to take some knocks if I decide to check the bag. I love the look, super sleek and super sophisticated. Only feedback is that when we first got the bag, we struggled to figure out how to unlock it. I wish there had been clear instructions provided. However, my 10-year-old son was able to go on the Internet and find instructions and, easy peasy.

An ideal carry-on
This is the little carry-on that could! I received this just before a week-long trip (6 days, 7 nights) and it comfortably fit all my clothes, toiletries, and shoes (full disclosure, I use compression packing cubes). Normally I choose carry-ons with an optional zipper extension, so I was a bit nervous to see how much I could fit, but it handled everything! It turns on a dime, even on the uneven pavement around our rental for the week, so carting it through the airport was a breeze. I love the hard-sided plastic exterior--so much easier to keep clean than others, and is more durable too. (And the built-in, TSA-approved lock is a nice bonus.)

Light and easy
I love the size of this carry on and it is almost weightless! I have never had a bag feel so light it’s honestly crazy! The wheels are the real winner for me. They glide and zip around so smooth and so effortlessly. I’ve never had a carry on with such a quality ride (if ride is the right word, drive maybe?)! The outer shell is nice, and on par with other carry ons I have had. I like that the inside zips up to two compartments but I find it a little noisy when touching the zippers and inner lining, it almost sounds like tissue paper. It’s a little odd, but not a driving factor. If you are traveling and love a good carry on, I would recommend this. The wheels and weightlessness are truly what sets this one apart from the rest.

Beyond Excited!
I was so excited for this suitcase when it arrived. From the moment I pulled it from the box, it felt luxurious. It came in a nice cloth dust cover to protect it at home. The graphite color has a good shine and depth. I like the color because it has a sparkle but it’s still mature and appropriate for going directly from a flight to the office. The suitcase wheels and turns very easily. I’m able to slip my laptop bag over the handle with no problem. Even when fully packed, I didn’t notice any difference in the maneuverability. I didn’t find directions in the box for how to program the padlock code but it was super easy to pull them from the Tumi website. I like knowing my bag has that extra protection and the lock is seamlessly built in instead of those annoying little padlocks. My favorite part of this bag is inside though. I love organizing my things neatly. I already use zippered bags when traveling to keep different clothing types together. This bag makes that even easier with separate zippered compartments and pockets. I was really pleased with everything I managed to fit inside my case. Anyone that travels a lot for work knows that Tumi is one of the best travel brands. I’ve often poked around their stores while on a layover and I’m so pleased to finally have a bag of my own. I have no doubt that this bag is going to last quite a while.

The most stylish rolling carry-on!
I travel a lot for short durations at a time, so the most important thing for me is my carry-on. The Continental checked off all the boxes that are a MUST for me. At first sight the luggage was sleek and I was instantly in love with the design. It's lightweight making it easy for me to get in the overhead compartments but sturdy enough to withstand the bumps and bruises it gets along the way. The zippers are smooth and I love the lock system attached to them, which was very easy to program my own code. I am an over-packer and I am typically able to get a few pairs of shoes and all my outfits packed for a long weekend with no problem. There is even extra storage inside for toiletries and chargers. The wheels are another highlight. They are so smooth and roll in all directions so it makes it easy to maneuver the airport. I have never loved luggage as much as I love the Continental carry-on that I actually get excited to pack in it. I highly recommend it to anyone that travels frequently and needs something lightweight they can pack a lot in.

Best of the Best
This is the best carry-on bag I’ve ever had. I currently travel at least once a month and most of the time I am bringing my toddler. The way this bag glides is unmatched. This bag follows by my side with ease despite my erratic movements through the airport. I even had my forearm through the handle pushing a stroller and it was like it wasn’t even there its movements are so seamless. The style was very sophisticated and beautiful externally. I loved the geometric design with the understated grey metallic color. The external shell seems so durable like it would be extremely tough to crack or damage. The organization on the inside is incredible with dividable sides and zipper closures on each side with added pockets within. This was perfect for jewelry bags. The bag’s size was perfect packing for both me and my toddler for a weekend trip but could see myself using it for a week-long trip as well. It fit easily in the upper compartment on the plane. Very honorable mention to the combination lock that holds both zippers in place, with push lock/release. Very intelligently designed piece. It arrived in a nice fabric drawstring bag which will be great for storage and protection. I have zero complaints or weaknesses to report on this suitcase. Highly, highly recommend!

A thoughtful carryon bag
This bag is wonderful - extremely tastefully and thoughtfully designed. The most important functionality: it is lightweight, rolls well, and has plenty of space. There are other thoughtful extras: interior organization (good enough for me to forgo a few of my packing cubes), heavyweight zipper locks, attached luggage tags, TUMI tracer system to track the bag if lost. I love it!

Tumi Carry-On Bag: A Luxury Travel Companion
This bag truly represents the peak of luxury travel, combining excellent functional design with beautiful style. What immediately stands out is how lightweight it is - you can easily lift it over curbs and steps with the pull handle extended. Despite being so light, it doesn't compromise on stability thanks to its hard-sided construction that maintains its shape perfectly. The pull handle feels sturdy, and the top handle has a slight give that makes it comfortable to grip when lifting. The wheels are another impressive feature. All four glide across airport floors with minimal friction, giving the bag an almost floating feeling as you move through terminals. The exterior design deserves special mention - the stylish wavy pattern with carbon fiber-looking threads underneath gives the bag a sophisticated, premium appearance. This distinctive texture not only looks elegant but also helps hide minor scratches that inevitably occur during travel. One of the best aspects is how perfectly sized it is for overhead compartments. I recently traveled on a smaller aircraft (E75L) and it fit in the overhead bin with no issues. This bag should also meet the stricter dimension requirements of budget airlines. Don't let the compact size fool you - there's plenty of packing space inside. The interior features barriers for each side that allow for efficient organization. These zippered dividers are especially helpful midway through your trip when you need to separate clean clothes from dirty ones. There's even a dedicated pocket for small toiletries, eliminating the need for a separate toiletry bag. My only minor complaint is quite nit-picky: when the zippers end up on the bottom of the bag, the zipper ends can touch the floor. I understand this design is necessary for the locking mechanism, which I personally don't use. Overall, I absolutely love this carry-on. It feels luxurious and I only wish I had more than one!
