The Expandable Carry-On Max - Front Pocket
Why We Made This
Built for travelers who prefer to keep their laptop and essentials in their carry-on—not their tote or backpack. The tone-on-tone hardshell front pocket fits up to a 16" laptop, a pullover, and in-flight must-haves. It adds accessible storage while slightly reducing space in the main compartment.
Features: Free-Flex zipper that expands up to 2", impact-resistant virgin polycarbonate shell, tamper-proof double-coil zippers, whisper-quiet spinner wheels with integrated bearings, Travel Sentry Certified TSA-008 approved combination lock, and antimicrobial interior lining.

”I love the design of this bag—it feels like a reliable, sleek rolling bag, with design you’ll never get tired of.”
We source our polycarbonate from Germany. It's lightly textured to minimize scratches, supremely durable and remarkably lightweight. Baggage handlers and airline weight limits have met their match.
Our FreeFlex™️ zipper construction features tamper-proof outer zippers with 2" of expansion designed for over-packers.
All suitcases have an anti-microbial lining infused with natural silver fibers to neutralize odor-causing bacteria and prevent germ growth.
Our 360° spinner wheels are 15% quieter than standard polyurethane options used by mass market brands. They're meant to be rolled—not heard.
