I've been using the Hybrid Carry-On for quite a while now, I've taken on about 4 domestic trips and 1 international now and love it. Between it and my backpack I'm covered for as long as I need, especially when packing capsule wardrobes and merino wool pieces. Got it in Obsidian Black and it's still pretty clean and scuff/scratch free since I also got the luggage cover.
Love your reviews and travel tips. My question is , does the plus hold very much more than the regular? That particular colour would certainly camouflage scuffs and scratches .
Great quick review as always. I’m so interest in Monos luggage but as I talked about in my last comment I’ve got a system that works for me atm. Have you ever replaced the wheels on any of the Monos luggage? They look SUPER thin. I appreciate you mentioning it working well over cobblestone as I find that to be the real test for luggage wheels. Keep up the good work!
I have traveled with all of them except for this newest one, but have friends that have traveled with this one. I tested the luggage in my very first video too. If I ever have an issue with any of them, I will announce it for sure!
Do the plus models fit in carry on for most domestic airlines? I’m looking at the pro plus specifically but want to make sure it fits. When I looked up delta specifications it seemed like the plus models wouldn’t fit
I'm really conflicted between the carry on and carry on plus. I tend to me an overpacked and need as much space as possible however I want to be able to take my bag on any plane/flight even internationally without issues. Is the difference in size/capacity worth it?
Or I was thinking get the Monos check ins but get the July carry on expandable so I have some wiggle room there. @ItsTheKellys, any insights would help :)
The plus will have an issue on some domestic carriers and most international ones. Monos has a wonderful compression system (the best in my opinion) and with my tips, you can definitely overcome being an overpacker. If you need to, pack a packable duffel for buying things, and check the suitcase on the way home (when it’s not as much of a worry) I would never ever ever ever check a bag on the way TO a vacation.
Great review! Monos Carry On Plus is actually good on cobblestone streets? That's amazing! I love how quiet the wheels are. I'm thinking of buying one for my next trip to England next year.
@@ItsTheKellys Good point - thank you! After I typed my comment I watched your airport comparison video for Monos and it was clear that the Plus doesn't fit with some of the airlines! As a woman traveling alone, I'm all for packing light, but I spent 5 weeks in the UK this year with just a 22" Travel Pro Rollaboard and it was quite a challenge to live out of such a small suitcase for so long! It seems to me you can fit more into the hardshell suitcases but I could be wrong.
Hello, thank you for such a detailed review. I was just wondering how much does it weigh when fully packed. I know it depends on what you packed into it but just so to get an idea how heavy it can get when fully packed. Thanks!
Found the Terrazo in Carry On size on my local FB marketplace. Worried I will get tired of the pattern or maybe it looks “kid like”…what you do think after owning it awhile? I currently have the light blue and white carry ons
I haven’t used it a ton, as it’s too big for my travels. I think a big draw is how much it can match other bags, if aesthetic is something someone likes. I do like my personal item to match my luggage when I travel (silly I know)
Thank you for the review. Do you think the color/pattern will age better or worse to show scuffs etc? I was thinking it would age well. but its also pretty light. Would love your thoughts. @itsthekellys
I am not a fan. They are very durable but can’t fit anything in them. I featured them in this video and am doing another feature soon, comparing them to july, away, beis, and level8’s cubes. Packing Cubes VS Compression Cubes ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-58HrvlZY1vg.html
That would be great I just got the WNDLR luggage from Target, and it made me realize I need a travel organization system for my bags. And that I need to sell my Beis bag lol
I did a video where I tested every Monos bag in every sizer! You can see if it fits there :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iZat3XMn3z8.html
Does anyone else have an issue with the compression board affecting the ease of the handle sliding up and down? I have to take the board out to make it work properly which kind of defeats the purpose. I can't fit any more in this plus size than I can in my smaller Level 8.
I’ve never had a handle issue but I’ve heard of other people having handle issues. I always pack mine insanely full, but I don’t pack around the handle grooves, I just have packing cubes on top of them, and use the compression pad as hard as it can go.
I did know that we get the extra 5% off when I just ordered my Memorial Day special piece of luggage.!!!! I ordered the weekender from your review....of another piece...Usually they don't offer two...Boo hoo!!!
I'm not seeing the father's day sale as current now, only the 10% off site wide atm but not listed under the hybrid carry on plus specifically. Have you checked on your side?
@bangmateo7481 depends on the airline. Most are 45 linear inches of allowance, and remember about other airlines that some of your favorites may work with. Such as United being Lufthansa or delta being KLM or Air France. I would never bring that size overseas. They will immediately stop you to gate check it.
I feel like I was in a corn maze with a blindfold on before I found your channel. I’ve learned so much and travel way more efficiently now 🩷 thank you!
