Thule Subterra Carry On Roller 22, Black

The Thule Subterra 22 Carry-on is a great piece of luggage with a lot of strong features. Its not perfect, however, and Ill also try to cover some of the weaknesses in this review.

Too small poorly designed, maybe for an overnight, but didnt work well for a weekend in San Francisco. Doesnt fit down airlines smaller isles, zipper catches on compression system at top of bag.

This carry-on bag has some good and some not-so-good features. First off, I like the big wheels; theyll hold up better to wear than the tiny wheels many suitcases have. The telescoping handle is sturdy and I like the fact that you can attach a smaller bag or laptop case to the suitcase using the loop at the top of the bag. There are compartments for the many things you carry when you travel: phone, keys, boarding pass, etc. There are handles to grab the bag easily and lift it into an overhead compartment or onto a luggage rack.

Husband is a frequent flyer and checked his bags until this Thule Subterra. Fits everything he needs for four days and three nights. The handy zipper pocket near the handle makes it easy to store his toiletries, phone, and tablet. Lightweight and easy to maneuver, this sleek roller fits easily in overhead bins.

The sexiest carry on I have now :) clean lines and stays put in its shape in spite of being made of cloth like material..

I am very pleased with the Thule Subterra Carry-On for its clever design and attention to a customer’s needs. Made of nylon, around 7 lbs., with three color choices (Dark Shadow, Mineral, Ember), the smooth nylon finish is easy to clean and carry. One of the most aggravating parts of travel these days, it is a pleasure to bring this Carry-On on board a crowded plane with very little space for extras. (The tough, oversized wheels and telescoping handles are a welcome touch, as is the piggyback strap attachment loop should you need to attach another bag.

This is a handy little roll-on suitcase. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into the design with built in dividers. These dividers are advertised as allowing you to pack more. That rather depends on how and what you pack. If you are an organized person you may actually pack systematically and may benefit from using the dividers. Personally, I can pack more into a suitcase if I have undivided space. Again, if you are one of those organized people, you may find that this lets your clothes arrive at your destination in better shape. The wheel mechanism seems a little bulky and reduces the amount of usable space. Still Thule does make a larger version of this if you find the space inadequate for your needs.

I couldn’t get it apart.

I just used this suitcase on a short trip and absolutely love it. The design is both visually appealing and functionally ideal. The suitcase opens down the middle and one side is a fully open section (with a flat cover that can be adjusted to keep clothes in place and keep them from falling out when the suitcase is opened) and the other side is about 3/4 of the side of the suitcase with a zipper to close. The final 1/4 of that side of the suitcase is taken up by a pouch that unzips from the front of the suitcase and allows for storing things that you need easy access to. What I love about that pouch is that it is big enough to hold larger items like a book or a toiletry bag without a problem. I was able to use this bag as my carry-on bag and not need a second personal item like a backpack because of the convenience of how this bag is laid out.

I really like them so far. Big wheels make for a smoother ride. We basically melted wheels off other brands that had tiny wheels after a few trips. These are really cool with the storage features too.
