Our verdict

A light softside carry-on with spinner wheels, a combination lock and an expansion option. Soft sides protect fragile items less than a hard shell.

Overview

Overhead bins are the target for this softside spinner, which has a PowerScope Lite handle and four 360 degree wheels. Water repellent fabric covers a single main section with three pockets.

Low weight and expansion in a cabin-size softside case suit short trips. Fabric offers less crush protection, and the lock is a combination type only.

Who it's for

A weekend or business traveler who wants a light bag with outer pockets. Anyone shipping breakables, or looking for a rigid case, should pick a hardside model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Light for a carry-on
  • Four spinner wheels
  • Water repellent fabric
Cons
  • Soft sides protect less
  • Single main section
  • Expansion depth not listed

Performance notes

Soft fabric flexes to fit tight bins, while the handle and spinner wheels glide beside the owner. Water repellent coating sheds light rain. Packed tight, a softside bag can bulge, so watch the airline size frame.
