Are you surprised by my top 5? Share your thoughts below!

@Originaltuber Год назад

Yes! I thought Beis would be top 2 regardless lol. Didn’t think about traveling international though 👍🏿

@eurayshiawilliams7258 Год назад

Thank you for this review. I have been trying to figure which bag to get.

@lisaw7633 Год назад

I trust your reviews. I'm having a hard time deciding on luggage 🧳 😩. Probably overthinking things. So, in a video comparison. I fell in love with the July luggage . Now I'm torn between Monos Hybrid and July luggage. Monos has better accessories, while July has more colors. Narrowed it down to the two brands because of the bumper ends for protection from dents and dings. Maybe you can do a comparison in the future . Or give me your advice 😉

@DS-vx3wf Год назад

next would be Rimowa? 😂

@ItsTheKellys Год назад

Haha I wish. I have reached out!

@mikeylikezit86 Год назад

I rewatched this video soo many times before I finally decided to go with July as my forever carry-on. I splurged and got the heritage trunk in matte moss and I couldn't be happier! I recently took it on a trip to Hawaii and it was such dream to use and recieved many compliments. I highly recommend their packing cubes as well, it made packing super easy! The quality and attention to detail is just perfect on these cases. I love my July carry-on trunk, thank you for helping me find the perfect one💚

@ItsTheKellys Год назад

Oh I’m so jealous, that one looks awesome! I did just get their packing cubes (actually a set from every brand in this video) and tested them all. So glad I could help!

@dottydotdot1902 Год назад

I love love looove you and how freakin honest you are! So refreshing that you are not just trying to get the commission on some bag like some channels do. You had me rolling when you made your hubby put it above his head to throw it higher… like, that’s real crap if you start throwing down those stupid European hotel stairs in the summertime when the 1 tiny lift is broken and the building, ( which was condemned the year before you arrived…yet they pre-sold hotel rooms to the stupid group tour anyways ) you know the kind that was built in 1605 but remolded 3 times since then and the cracks in the floors show thru to next floor down ( Venice, 1996… it’s probably underwater now… )but ya! You too would throw that damn lugged down those freakin stairs and let’s see if the wheels would survive 🤣 I have no problem with peeps making money. But thank you for actually adding value to my life! Not just hawking a product. Traveling is an adventure. The gear has to be great. Thank you for helping us all navigate that part together.

@ItsTheKellys Год назад

Thank you so much! I actually laughed when I put this list together, because the company I do get commission with is #3. Sure, I could have put them at number one and made money, but I’d rather be truthful! And yes, European stairs…. European cobblestone…. A suitcase has to be able to combat both of those!

This video is the most helpful one I’ve come across. Thank you for such a thorough review! Your videos are go-to when it came to luggage reviews! Decided on getting July as my “rough” luggage (I use a Rimowa, but need something tougher for a Europe trip) where it might get beaten up by the cobblestones and train rides, but unfortunately it doesn’t ship to Asia. Might go with Monos since it ships worldwide.

@ItsTheKellys Год назад

Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me. Which rimowa do you have? I would love to know more about how you feel about the quality! I’m sorry July doesn’t ship worldwide! Monos would still be great for you!

I love our Beis carry-on bags. Haven’t had an issue on domestic flights. We fly Delta 98% of the time and they have been fine, even on the smaller regional jets. Flew international to Nova Scotia on WestJet and did not have an issue with size. I do have one Monos bag and it is smaller on the inside but much more compliant size wise.

@ItsTheKellys Год назад

I love my Beis bag too. If I flew airlines that allowed it, I’d use it a lot more!

@bgar9818 Год назад

Hi Lauren! This was a great review, I have the Beis carry on and am now thinking about getting the Monos because of the size factor. Also completely off topic but your hair looks amazing, wondering if you would consider doing a tutorial on how you do your curls etc; maybe a shorts. Thanks!!!

Hi, Have you ended up buying their luggage? any advice?

@stephp6761 9 месяцев назад

@@danykoskova3554 hey! Yes I did end up buying a light expandable carry on from them, I’ve been really happy with it - it’s a good size, seems pretty sturdy and the lighter weight has been super helpful both for travelling on airlines where they weigh your carry on bags and also just for easily carrying it up & down stairs etc. I actually checked it in last week as well and it seems to have come through pretty well (some light scuff marks that I was able to clean off). The only issue I’ve had with it is sometimes when it’s really stuffed full of things on the handle side, the handle can get a bit stuck going up and down, but I’ve had that problem with other bags as well and I find it’s just learning how to best arrange stuff on that side of the bag so it doesn’t get in the way of the handle movement 🙂

I now travel every other month for work and have been looking at these brands for a wheeled carry on (which I do not currently have) - the Away, July and Monos are not in my budget but the Level 8 seems well priced! I had not heard of this brand before so I am glad to learn about it. If I could splurge might go with the July with the battery pack. Thank you for this review!

@ItsTheKellys Год назад

Level 8 is amazing! The textured luggage can be perfect for you, I love it. The battery pack with July is kind of a waste, some airlines make you take it out, and it’s not as good as an anker charger. I’m currently traveling with it and didn’t use it.

@KateHasCats Год назад

@@ItsTheKellys thank you! I appreciate the feedback about the power - good to keep in mind. There is a lot more charging available in American airports and on planes now and a portable charger is small and handy.

@colwild Год назад

Really appreciate this video! FYI: I decided to go with the Level8 (even though it's heavy) because you put it in every sizer you could find, and so I feel pretty confident this should work as a carry on for wherever I go, which for me is important. Thank you so much! :)

Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Beis has been the bag I had been considering but the fact that it probably is too big for carry on for international travel has changed my mind. I agree when you are spending that amount of money on a bag, you should be able to take it on any trip.

Makes total sense right? I beg them everyday to make a smaller one for us!

@Larry-0850 Год назад

Love your videos by the way, they’re my primary resource for research on luggage :) and do you happen to have a promo code with July?

I think I have watched and re-watched this video four or more times, going back and forth between July and Monos.

Delta can be ok with Beis, it just depends on their airline share, if they use one. Carry it on with delta, and if you have to check with SA, that’s ok! I think Monos Will be coming out with expansion soon. Saw it in the comments somewhere on IG.

I have 2 July bags...1 moss green expandable 2.2k carry-on I took on a summer 12 day cruise to Tasmania and 1 grey lavender check bag for my 6 week trip to the Baltics and Norway cruise via Amsterdam and Finland with a stopover in Tokyo. I had 3 seasons to cater for into one checked bag. I agree with your review comments about the ease of use for July suitcases. Both bags were a dream to wheel around cobble stones and lift when needed. Wish I'd seen your Norwegian packing video before going and maybe I'd have only take the carry-on instead of my checked bag 😂 I am going on a hikking trip next spring in Japan. I will be taking hikking poles with me. I think I will have to check-in in my bags because of the poles unless you know of an alternative. 😢

I’m Australian & I have just purchased the July, I’m concerned about the weight (have to watch what I pack), but July has just released the new 2kg expandable lite weight. I purchased the black with the Chalk Carry all Tote. I will be using it for the first time over Xmas. I’m flying with Virgin Australian to Bali & they have a carry on weight of 7kg. Lets see how that goes !

@ItsTheKellys Год назад

I’m so interested in the light expandable, especially for flights like yours! Let’s hope they don’t actually weigh you! My bag overweight when I went to Norway but they didn’t weigh it, thank goodness. 7kg max is ridiculous. Let me know how you like traveling with it!

I went to Thailand in 2019 with the Away bigger carry-on on ANA and United. I was not stopped and able to take on the Away. I was able to get out the scratches and scuffs with magic eraser. I had no issue with customer service to replace one of the wheels. Other than that, I agreed with you about the telescopic handle being jiggly. Can see some of the scratches may not come out for some luggage. Compression straps and pad not as good as Monos. The wheels not as smooth as some of the tests I saw you do. I'm selling them now and looking for something with better features.

@ItsTheKellys Год назад

I’m glad you were able to bring it on :) I just personally think that for such a high price, it should perform better. I always take pix of “luggage in the wild” while traveling and away always looks badly beaten up. Let me know what you end up getting!

@kristend6078 Год назад

Hi! First of all, I adore your videos! Thank you for being so honest and transparent. I have watched all of your videos and you have heavily influenced me to consider either a July Carry-on or a Monos Hybrid. I live in a small town and travel about every other month. Due to the small size of the regional aircraft I take, only a backpack can fit on the plane, and most carry-ons need to be checked. A round trip for me involves at least 4 connecting flights, so my checked luggage must be handled by someone other than myself, which means my bags can get pretty beat up. Between the two bags, which would you recommend? I know the Monos Hybrid is more durable than the standard Monos carry-on, but how does it compare to the July Carry-on? Again, thanks for putting out such great content!

@ItsTheKellys Год назад

Hi Kristen, thanks so much! It’s funny, I’ve actually had this question a lot lately and they are both fabulous bags, and both are extremely durable. You really can’t go wrong with either one! Maybe I should do another durability test video 😍

Any suggestions for a great carry-on with power bank and personal tote/bag for work/student?

@ItsTheKellys Год назад

It fits in all of the sizers for all of the stingy airlines, I promise the size is fine. My go to currently is Monos, to be honest. If I had to travel with only one it would be their hybrid zipperless model. Maybe one of the totes from Beis. I’ve been carrying the north/south tote all week with my computer (long and skinny) but they also have east/west which is short and wider.

@ItsTheKellys Год назад

Thank you for your kind words :) As a “packing expert”, I watch videos about the Solgaard and it personally drives me crazy. I have watched about 70 videos and they can never seem to pack more than 12 pieces of clothing, and if they do, the “closet” takes up BOTH sides of the luggage, and not just one, which seem like a huge waste of space, personally. I’ve also heard of it falling over because of the set up. I am personally DYING to review it, but the company won’t respond, and I don’t want to pay for it.

@tigre9271 Год назад

I bought the Rick Steve's RAVENNA Rolling Case. It's hardsided on the bottom and sides and durable fabric on the front and back so it has pockets on the front. This company makes bags specifically for European travel. The RAVENNA is also a 2 wheel roller as oppsed to a 4 wheel spinner. Better, easier and more durable for navigating cobble stone roads, and rocky terrain. And the wheels are half way inbedded in the case so they don't stick out much, easier to fit in the luggage compartment and less likely to be damaged. Not any frills. Just a durable, practical, sleek and unique hybrid bag for international flights. I have the black one and also take my Lily and Drew Carry on bag, also in black. Btw, I have the Away Everywhere Bag and PREFER the Lily and Drew bag. I like the shape, size and structure of the bag. More feminine looking than the Everywhere Bag and the Lily has a dozen more pockets and compartments. And the fabric of the Lily matches the Ravenna bag.

@ItsTheKellys Год назад

Cool! I’ll have to look at them all. I’ve never been a 2 wheel girl because I also use all 4 beside me as opposed to 2 wheels behind me, but sounds cool for cobblestone! Also, hybrid ones sound cool :)

@tigre9271 Год назад

@@ItsTheKellys I have a 4 wheel spinner I use for domestic travel. TRAVELERS CHOICE SILVERWOOD. This case has a textured "carbonfiber" look to it to prevent and hide scratches. It's not as sleek as the RAVENNA, hence I use it for domestic and not so rural terrain. But you can still carry on. But not sure on discount airlines like Jet Blue or Spirit, where i hear is more strict. If you travel a lot, why not have a case for different destinations and terrain!

@sammychem5920 Год назад

Thanks for all your reviews! They are so helpful for me. I am leaning towards the Beis; it has everything I would like in a carry on.

I'm surprised since I was reading that 14" wide was the biggest for international carry on. I was looking into getting the Delsey St. Tropez carry on since the dimensions were a bit smaller.

The other options I was looking at were more sustainable: Meridian International Carry-on and the Solgaard smaller carry on.
