I’ve been on the hunt for a hard-shell carry-on for a while. I’m considering this one with rave reviews.

This ultralight 20” suitcase has a sturdy polycarbonate shell, 360-degree wheels, TSA-approved lock, and telescopic handle. Squeeze a bit more in with interior compression panels and a separate laundry bag for dirty clothes. Bought too many souvenirs? No worries, since this suitcase expands an additional inch.

Quince’s Expandable Carry-On Hard Shell Suitcase is $139.90. It comes in black, dark green, navy, and tan. It’s also available in three additional sizes.
