TRANVERZ S Suitcase, 45 cm, 42 L

I have now road tested this case on 2 short haul flights, the first one I took the bag as hand luggage, the second I put it in the hold. I really like this case, it stays upright when packed or empty and rolls really nicely. It feels well made and strong, and I like the large front pocket. The only real negative is it can be tricky getting the zippers into the lock. Overall my first impressions are good, time will tell if it holds up with more use.

Well made, good size for cabin luggage, not heavy when empty so can pack loads in. Used for a few trips now, rolls well and crushes down when empty so doesn’t take up much space. Has even survived a few trips in the hold and come out the other side unblemished. The TSA lock takes some getting used to, as getting both hooked at the same time is a bit of an art!

If, like me, you are constantly on and off planes and trying to utilise the allowance to the absolute maximum without compromising quality and comfort then this definitely a case worth considering. I've tried cases with 4 wheels, they lose too much capacity for the convenience of the extra wheels. I've tried the minimalist lightweight backpacks, but the lack of wheels can become a real drag if you've had a long week away from home. I've tried the combo wheel/backpack cases, but they don't really excel in any particular aspect. This case gets the balance of portability and capacity just right. The fabric sides offering a bit of flexibility to really pack things in combines well with the compression straps to make sure it will pass the airline size test, without the added weight from a hard shell case. The wheels don't take up too much space from the compartment, but offer a very smooth and effortless movement around busy airports. There is only 2 main compartments and no real space to organise small items like cables, chargers etc, but honestly that's fine IMO. You can really squeeze a lot of stuff in there, so you could get separate packing cubes and organisation items if needed, plus most airlines allow you to take an accessory bag (such as laptop bag), which is something I would recommend exploiting. The handle is very good. Feels solid and well made, comparable to most other high end suitcases. If you have an accessory bag with a handle strap, there should be no concern with using it on this case.

The lock got stuck when I first used it. I set it to a different combination and locked the zippers in it. The lock would not open when I wanted to open it, I had to break the lock to open the case and retrieve my contents. It may of been my mistake ! but it may also be why the case was sold at a discount, because of a faulty lock. I don’t know. The case is fine which is what was needed , the lock can be replaced.

My partner has had this suitcase for a number of years and I always borrowed it, in face I actually used it more times than him. It's so sturdy, sleek, made from quality material, shower proof and finally some wheels that don't go wonky over time! With it's two large pockets on either side of the bag with zips, a strap for extra security, not to mention a locking mechanism, this bag is light, handy and well designed. Whether you're packing for a long weekend away or heading out for a weeks holiday, it has ample enough room for one and even has a sleek front pocket for a book, magazine or your travel documents and with a number of colours to choose from, you're spoilt for choice! I'm very happy with my purchase and will certainly be purchasing the larger version for longer travel.

Good quality gear.

I spent a lot of time researching which carry on bag to purchase. While there are more expensive, sturdier and better looking carry ons out there, I decided to go with the Eastpak, mainly for the following reasons BRAND - I've always considered the Eastpak brand name to be synonymous with affordable quality, and I knew that I would be getting a well made product if I decided to go with them. While user reviews are incredibly useful, I've known the Eastpak brand to be reliable for many years now and knew they wouldn't steer me wrong COMPRESSION STRAPS - The straps on the sides to help for compression really do make a big difference. Because of the lightweight cloth material used for the outer layer of the bag, you can really squeeze this bag into smaller spaces than expected. AESTHETIC - OK so it's not the most elegant looking carry on (the Away bags for me are much sleeker), it does retain that classic Eastpak feel. For me as long as you opt for one of the more understated colours (Black Denim, Grey etc), rather than the more outlandish options, this bag can look great being used for any kind of trip

Very strong material, travel a lot with it and it's a really nice quality. A lot of space

De Eastpak TRANVERZ S, 42L is groter dan ik dacht en is fijn in gebruik omdat je 'm naast rollen als nodig ook oppakt als een normale koffer. Ik vind achter me aan trekken veel comfortabeler dan 'naast' me mee trekken wat je met vier wieltjes doet. Omdat de wielen wat groter en van rubber zijn ze ideaal voor op straat waar je ook stoep op en stoep af gaat.

Mycket nöjd

Es cómoda, robusta, pesa muy poco y, sobre todo, es capaz de adaptarse a una capacidad enorme. Eso sí, cuando no va muy llena tiene a caerse hacia delante (pero es un mal menor que se compensa con todo lo bueno que tiene).

echte Eastpak en geen illigale namaak

Such a nice carry-on. Quality of materials and zippers, wheels, handle mechanism - everything is top. Seems very durable and i like that there are two separate zippable halves.
