Air Porter handbagage

The lighter build is the first thing I noticed lifting it into the overhead bin — no wrestling match with the bin, which never happens to me. Zippers glide smooth even when it's stuffed, and after a few flights the shell still looks new.

Packed for a four-day trip and this thing still fit in the overhead without a fight. The lighter build really shows when you're hauling it up the jet bridge stairs. Genuinely impressed after years of stuffing bags that never quite worked.

Swapped my beat-up hardshell for this and the weight difference is obvious every time I lift it into the overhead. The new size fits a week's worth of clothes if I roll everything, which I didn't expect from a carry-on.
