Eagle Creek Luggage Review
"Reliably Excellent"
Anything from Eagle Creek will last and work better than fine. Recommend.
I used Eagle Creek exclusively for years for my roller luggage, those rollers are still in great shape.
More on the Eagle Creek Luggage
What I like
- My first roller bag, bought around 15 years ago, still holds up so well
- When in doubt, buy Eagle Creek. It's the roller brand I've used most in my life
- Our family takes a big Eagle Creek roller when we live somewhere for a month or more
- Little expansion zipper makes it the right size when you need it
- Really durable exterior
Watch for
- The one I show is no longer sold, and I haven't tested their current luggage
- I go 20 or 21 in for international carry-on; at 22 in you can get stopped on some airlines
Specs
- Tarmac 22in/36L carry-on: 36L (38L expanded), 7 lb 7 oz, 22 x 14 x 10 in (brand site)

Styled & DialedThe looks alone are worthy, but then the TSA clasps and metal frame make it last longer. Available in both plastic and metal "pro" options. Seriously excellent feeling luggage. Also covered in this deep dive on the Ramverk Alu version.
