Why We Made This

It’s built for travelers who prefer to keep their laptop and essentials in their carry-on rather than in a tote or backpack. The tone-on-tone hardshell front pocket fits up to a 16" laptop, a pullover, and in-flight must-haves—adding accessible storage while slightly reducing space in the main compartment.

Features: Free-Flex zipper expands up to 2"; German-engineered, impact-resistant pure-grade polycarbonate hardshell (no regrind); tone-on-tone hardshell front pocket with Italian leather trim for fast access to essentials; tamper-proof zippers; Japanese whisper-quiet spinner wheels with built-in bearings; Travel Sentry certified TSA 008 approved integrated combination lock; antimicrobial lining; removable divider panel; X-strap compression system.

    THE BEST CARRY-ON

    First new luggage in 29 years and I wanted to try softsides.The color is beautiful and the perfect size to carry my laptop, cords, paper & pens in the front compartment and plenty of room for my shoes and clothing inside main area.The expansion is wonderful! I love the zippered bags inside where I can place my small clothing items. Very well made and sturdy and consists of new Polycarbonate materials and so lightweight for me to roll on these fabulous wheels! I am super picky after waiting years to buy new luggage and I would recommend Arlo Skye to everyone!

    Lightweight and holds a lot!

    This bag really surprised me, mostly in a good way. It holds a lot of stuff! Being 6'3" with size 13 shoes, packing light is always a challenge. The compression works great too, and the outer pocket is really nice to have. I checked the bag on my first flight and didn't even have to use the expander.

    Now the other surprises. The expander has a wee sticky spot, but no big deal. And after my first trip, there are finish chips/scrapes on the corners. I bought the champagne color, and it looks great, but that may not last long. All in all, I'm very happy with the bag because of its practicality for me.

    perfect carry on

    love this bag, it's yellow brings a smile every time I pull it out. It travels easily, fits in overheads on both big jets and CR-J's. It allows me to carry a few more things that I may not need while in flight, but don't want to put into a checked bag. Versatile, strong, and surprisingly roomy. A go to bag for the foreseeable future!
