This is a durable, lightweight suitcase with plenty of space. The wheels and handle are sturdy, one smooth roller, making it easy to navigate, and it fits all carry-on requirements for both domestic and international travel.
While I’ve noticed some loose threads over time, the overall quality is great. I have noticed some zipper teeth have become misaligned but they still zip no problem. This has made it through multiple domestic trips and four countries abroad. It can handle rocky cobblestone, uneven sidewalks, a little sand and plenty of dead runs to catch the flight, bus, or train I will say the interior color wasn’t quite what I was expecting with the blue and black checkered design, but it’s grown on me.
I got it on sale, the full price is a bit steep; however, the solid warranty and value make it a worthwhile purchase.

Long time user of these bags
I like it so I don't understand why Amazon says it's a frequently returned item. I travel constantly and wear bags out so I've been through a couple of these. My current one has a prosthetic foot because Southworst Airlines broke one off. They also bent the slides in the handle making it difficult to slide up and down but I'm still using it. It's pretty durable, it's seen a lot of flights and still going.I also have a smaller version of the same bag, also with a prosthetic foot, also due to Southworst Airlines. Both it and this bag are light weight allowing more luggage and still be within airline weight limits. I've never had zipper issues like I've had with cheap bags. Again, I've had more than one of these, this is my third one of the 26" ones and given how much I travel, they hold up pretty well. There's still a lot of life left in the current one but I'm probably going to order another one soon just because I'm starting to need two 26" ones instead of the one 26" and one smaller one.Amazon says it's frequently returned yet it has 4.5 stars with thousands of reviews so I wouldn't pay any attention to that statement. I'll retire in a couple years and not travel so much any more but in the mean time, I'm staying with these.

Note: The color selection when I purchased this bag (and as of this writing, still on the website) says the bag is "Slate Green", but it is actually black. The manufacturer mentioned in the Q&A that this bag does not come in green.
The exterior overall dimensions for the International Expandable Rollaboard are: 21.5" x 15.75" x 7.75", which equals 45 linear inches (55x40x20cm = 115 cm). This fits the current carry-on requirements for many airlines. The interior dimensions are 20" x 15" x 7.75", and the weight is 5.4 lbs. The label says the volume is 45 liters.
I already own the Osprey Ozone 18"/36 L Wheeled Luggage, Black that I LOVE as a carry-on, but, but I wanted another bag that would fit most carry-on requirements but also be sturdy enough to check it. (The Ozone is really well made, but because the shell is soft (like a backpack), things inside might get crushed.)
The Travelpro bag looks like it will be perfect. It seems very sturdy and well-built, including the well-padded fabric handles on the top and side. The wheels also look very solid. The expansion section is a nice feature, although using it may exceed size requirements for a carry-on for some airlines. Nice for having a little extra space if that's not an issue. Besides the main opening for the interior, there is a large outside zippered pocket that is the full length of the top flap (I don't have a laptop, but it looks like it would probably hold up to a 17" laptop), and also a smaller zippered compartment that is about 6.5" deep. Great for keeping your boarding pass or anything else you want quick access to.
The interior is a light-colored plaid fabric, which I prefer to black since it's easier to see things in it. There's a large mesh pocket on the top flap, and a small interior pocket on one side of the main compartment.
This particular piece also comes in a "spinner" version Travelpro Luggage Maxlite 5 International Expandable Spinner Suitcase Carry-On, Black, which has 4 wheels on casters instead of the 2 inline wheels. I know a lot of people like spinners because of the ease of pushing them around in any direction, but I chose the rollaboard over the spinner for several reasons: casters are more likely to get broken than inline wheels, I don't have to worry about my luggage rolling away if I'm on a slope, and I find the 2-wheeled bags easier to control over uneven surfaces. But most important, for the same exterior height, rollaboards have more interior space than spinners because of the extra space required for casters. As a comparison, the interior dimensions for the spinner model are 18 x 15 x 7.75, which is 2" less in height than the rollaboard. That's a difference of about 232 square inches, and in a small bag, every little bit helps. Plus the exterior dimensions for the spinner are actually slightly bigger than the rollaboard, at 21.75" high instead of 21.5" high (same width/depth). That makes the total linear measurement of the spinner 45.25", which slightly exceeds some airline maximums of 45".
