Timberland Luggage Claremont 21-Inch Upright Carry On Bag, Olive/Orange, One Size

I had a Timberland rollaboard for the past 18 years that I loved. It was a little bit larger than this, designed at the start of the whole airline luggage shake up, but had great wheels (in line skates) plenty of interior space, came with a hanger/garment folder, and even had hidden backpack straps (which I never used). I had great memories of trips all over the U.S. and even world with that bag. Its design did allow me to overpack, which sometimes made it bulge beyond the overhead compartment limits. So I'd have to pull out sweaters and books to hold in my seat. When one small plastic piece of its extension handle finally broke and I could find no replacement (believe me I tried hard), I decided it was time for a new bag. I looked at outlet stores and what you find in Marshall's type luggage areas. Of dubious quality. On the other end are great brands like Briggs and Riley, and a friend's model of that was vying for my final decision. But I was getting on a plane and the fellow in front of me was pulling this new Timberland. It looked just right and seemed to be solid construction. So brand loyalty and price won out and I ordered this. I travel on business about every two weeks and always carry luggage on. I was worried about the slightly smaller size. I usually take my own pillow (flat feather) with me. And sometimes I need dressier clothes. Turns out this still will hold my other Timberland hanger/garment folder. It has been packed to the brim and never caused problems with overhead compartment. I think part of that is due to the lower section that is the black band you see in the picture. That restricts how much you can bulge that part out and so put in wheels first it hits where most luggage compartments narrow at back. It thus seems to fit fine, even when I add extras to the top zipper pockets. The handles and wheels are very nice. My only complaint is the adjustable strap on the very top pocket that has a buckle that gets caught too often in the overhead bin as I try to pull it out getting off the plane. And just like my other Timberland, it never gets confused with anyone else's generic black bag. Hoping for another 18 years.

Good for very short trips to warm destinations. Weekend trips would be best. Sharp looking bag, nothing spectacular. Construction is solid, performed the job it was given. No complaints.

...So far I love it. It's a great looking piece of luggage and has some great features.I really like the strap that comes out of the largest front pocket and clips to the loop above the Timberland logo. You can't see it in the photo but it's great. You could attach it to another bag if you want, but I'm going to use it to hold a neck pillow.It appears to be made with great quality. Time will tell.Out of the box: I'd recommend it~ Update ~After one trip, I love it. It still looks great, it rolls well, and holds more than it looks like it should.

A bit small that expected but still great for weekend getways.

This is a relatively light yet well built and functional bag. I travel a bit and have burned through quite a few suitcases, both carry-on sized and bigger. I have this bag's bigger brother (check sized) and liked the quality and lightness. This bag matches that. I also like the somewhat unique looks. There are too many me-too black bags out there. This is a good value for a relatively low price.

We used to buy REI, Eagle creek or Osprey luggage, and afraid to get any other brand with a lower build quality. This Timberland carry on surprised me, and I have only gotten this one and not the whole family of Claremont line. But, I love it so far with the good quality build and zipper. I will see how long the wheels last.

I love the color, love that the handle release is on top of the handle and love all the details. There are several storage pockets to use and it also comes with a shoe bag to keep shoes from dirtying up your clothes. The price was awesome for the quality of the suitcase.

Durable, light weight, and carry one approved. With all the handles you can quickly grab it, and there's space galore. I thought the bars for the handle would be in the way, but they don't seem to take any space away from the roominess. Lots of storage compartments to keep everything separate.
