Customer Reviews:
Best spinner roll aboard on the market today By Jeffrey Barlow
This bag is hands-down the best available for the frequent traveler who does not want to check a bag. It is sized and shaped almost perfectly for overhead bins on most US single-aisle mid-size jets (B73x/A32x). For Europe you will want the 20" model instead. In terms of how well it fits overhead, it almost matches the dear departed gold standard, the Samsonite Silhouette 9 SpaceMaster. Had I realized several years ago when I got my Silhouette 9 how much I would come to appreciate and rely on it, I would have purchased two or three extras for spares when the original ran out. Alas, by the time I realized how great it was, they were nowhere to be found, replaced by later models that simply don't live up to the perfect size and very good overall design of that case. So after several replaced wheels and zippers I finally had to let it retire to that great overhead bin in the sky.
I searched for years for a suitable replacement, using a series of Tumi, Zero, Briggs & Riley models. They all had their strengths, but none satisfied my travel needs like the old S9. I had almost given up hope that a bag manufacturer would ever get it right again, and had begun to consider having one custom made. Then I saw the Avolve... this is the closest thing I have found to a replacement for the S9. Size-wise it is 90% as good, and always fits without a hassle even when overstuffed. It just doesn't have quite enough curve in the side profile to use every cubic inch of available space like the S9 did. But it is better than any other current model I have seen. It also has the proper chassis design for a four-wheel spinner: A solid bottom plate with the zippered main opening at the top of the case when laid on its back. This design provides a solid, low flex chassis like a good sports car, which promotes smooth and responsive handling while rolling so the bag easily flows with you and responds instantly to a light steering touch on the handle, gliding through airports with minimum wobble or sag. Stay away from the four-wheel bags with the clamshell design, having a zipper right across the middle of the case. These are invariably wobbly, frustrating to maneuver, and they sag when heavily loaded, sometimes even dragging on the floor. Not this Avolve--it feels so smooth and responsive in rolling that you almost forget it's there. It's really effortless to roll along. And in some ways this bag even surpasses the great S9, such as the tighter and stronger feeling handle mechanism, the larger and more useful front compartment (I can easily fit a laptop or bulky sweater in there), though I do miss the S9's clever bottom zipper on the outer compartment that made it so easy to pull out a sweater or jacket without pulling the bag out of the overhead, a feature I have yet to see duplicated.
So yes, this is my bag of choice and in use twice a week now for over six months. I can say that it is durable, gives you almost the maxim possible capacity for an overhead roll-aboard, and glides very smoothly. Unless Samsonite miraculously brings back the magical design of the Silhouette 9 SpaceMaster, I will be buying two more of these in case they stop making them before mine wears out. Victorinox created a real winner here.sturdy little suitcase! By Deborah Alm
The last suitcase I had was a monster. I kept wondering why I was almost always right at the airline's luggage weight limit until I learned that my suitcase weighed 14 pounds before I even put a single thing in it. This new suitcase is smaller than what I am used to, but once I learned that I don't need to take every single article of clothing I own with me, I have found that it holds everything I need for a trip. I really love that it's a "spinner"... it's so easy to push or pull through airports, hotels, and even on crowded sidewalks. I think my husband is going to be ordering one for himself as well.Best short-trip carry on for the money By T. Oh
As a frequent traveller I have gone through many pieces, both cheaper and more expensive, and have always had to compromise. Not with this one. This checks off all my requirements:
- Top outside pocket for travel documents
- Bottom pocket fits reading material/Kindle
- front compartment allows easy retrieval of laptop for security checks. Fits a SLIM laptop case with a 13 inch laptop in it (and spec'ed for 17" though who carries that size laptop for business any more?
- Suiter to keep business clothing in good shape
- maximum interior space for the size
- lightweight
- well balanced four wheeler which does not feel like it's tipping over every other turn that you make
- attach-a-bag
and did I say carry-on?
With the travel documents and reading material easily available, I've taken to stuffing the laptop case into the front compartment, and traveling door to door with only this bag in had. Once in the hotel, I pull the laptop case out and go straight to meetings. No hassle, no fuss.
If I had to nit-pick, I'd say I wish it had a build in TSA combination lock, for those small regional prop planes where I have to check in at the gate. But there is a decent separate lock included for that purpose.
Strongly recommended.
