Have had this bag for a few years now - was hesitant to switch to team roller bag, but after getting this bag there was no going back. Durable and perfect as a carry on! I just bought my partner one for Christmas!
We bought this for a trip after our last carry-on had a wheel break during a trip and we had to drag or carry it the rest of the way. I don’t think we will have this issue with the Thule Aion, all of the materials appear to be super high quality and I like the included compression packing cube.
I bought this and have travelled with this on one international trip. The bag arrived alittle dirty. The front wheels are a little small so the bag falls over on the front occasionally. The small multipurpose bag (shoe bag etc) straps on abit awarkly to the bag, I find it abit difficult to pop in and out of the joints so I don’t use the bag.
I went from backpack luggage to all wheel rolling luggage and it makes a world of difference for running through the hectic airports. So far it’s traveled with me from LAX to Boston, New Hampshire and Maine. It’s held up to my abuse so far.
I love this bag! I had my eye on it for a while before I purchased and I am so glad that I finally went ahead and bought it. I work in the outdoor/active industry and travel for work fairly often. For the last several years I have been using a patagonia black hole duffel as my primary carryon and I am SO glad to finally have a wheeled suitcase that feels professional and functional and still kind of outdoorsy. The greenish color is sort of like a tan waxed canvas and it feels very "heritage brand" in person. I love the way the pocket on the front looks, but I quickly realized that it isn't functional for sliding my laptop in and out. That is the only thing anywhere close to a complaint. Highly recommend it.
Just returned from two weeks travel with the Thule Aion 4-wheeled spinner carry on. It worked well in every circumstance including travel over cobblestone streets and sidewalks. The importance of the larger wheels in the back (when using in two-wheel mode) quickly became obvious. The larger wheels traveled much better over cobblestones than the suitcase would have using smaller wheels. Then when on smooth ground in the airport, the four wheel spinner configuration worked perfect. The handle is well made and sturdy and adjusts to the lower position for four wheeled use easily. The included packing cube was useful for reducing volume of bulky items stored flat like sweaters or some pants. Very much enjoyed using this suitcase and it appears it will be quite durable.
