Whether traveling for a business meeting or a relaxing week of sun, sea, and sand, the last thing you want is problems at the airport – especially your suitcase splitting wide open at the airport.

Purchased this for a carry-on. Size is within most if not all domestic airlines requirements. The hard case seems durable but does allow a little flex so I was able to get enough lightweight clothes for 5 days. Rolls easily. I would definitely purchase again.

Love this suitcase!! I’ve been on a handful of 10 day trips and this suitcase is the first thing I grab. The wheels are so smooth and easy to change direction. Overall, the luggage is light, you are able to fit a lot, and I love the color.

I love my new Chester suitcase. The exterior is stylish with a sleek look and a texture to it. The handle is sturdy and easy to maneuver through a hotel or even down the city streets. Also, I love the locking mechanism on the outside - which is perfect for hotel stays and when flying! But I will say my favorite part is the fact that when the suitcase is open, each side is equally sized, and both zips shut. This is perfect when organizing clothes, and my favorite was to separate dirty and clean clothes! There are also a few other small zipper pockets that were perfect for keeping small items!!

My family and I carry on exclusively whenever we travel. Whether it's international or domestic, we don't check bags. So we need luggage that's lightweight, easy to maneuver (spinner wheels are a must), fits in an overhead bin, and spacious. I was sent the Chester Minima Carry-On Spinner Suitcase and am in love! It fits all of my requirements for carry-on luggage and looks stylish on top of it!

After two trips, I can say that these carry-ons are the typical US allowed 9x14x22. It's very lightweight and very maneuverable. I have not checked it in or have dinner any strength tests to see how well the side walls hold up.

I bought this bag for a trip to Italy and it worked out wonderfully; I had been considering an Away bag, but this appeared to be comparable and more affordable. As promised, it was lightweight and super durable, and stood up to being dragged over cobblestones and up and down countless bridges in Venice. I did worry that it wouldn't be as flexible as a soft-sided bag, but I managed to stuff a ton into this little bag- especially coming back when I had bought gifts, etc- and still get it zipped up. I carried on the bag flying to my destination (perfect carry on size) but checked it on the way back. When I got the bag back from the airline, though, both the zippers had somehow been bent almost in half- rendering the locking mechanism useless! I was extremely disappointed, esp. since this bag was brand new, and $195 is not cheap! I wrote to Chester's customer service and they replied within one business day. They asked for photos of the damage and my receipt / proof of purchase, and immediately wrote back that they are sending me a replacement and will ship it by the end of this week. I am very impressed that they are making this right. Airlines are rough on bags, and Chester understands that and stands behind their product, which I appreciate. Great company, great customer service.

One of the things I like least about carry-on luggage is they can be so heavy when you factor in all of your belongings and the suitcase itself. This unit is super, super lightweight - to the point where at first I was questioning the quality, but it turns out it's just manufactured with lightweight, high-quality materials that make it easy to maneuver. It fits a lot of clothing, and I really liked that it comes with a cover for the times when your carry-on needs to get checked and ends up getting checked.

I’ve had the Chester carry on for a few months now and have taken several flights and weekend trips with it. The luggage has held up well and looks brand new even after being checked a few times. I’ve found it to feel really sturdy and durable while still being lightweight. I most enjoy the bright colors they have. Everyone has black luggage and it’s so easy to spot my blue carry on. I like that it comes with a TSA lock on the luggage so I don’t have to deal with finding my lock every time I take a trip. The luggage is just as spacious as my other carryons and it was pretty easy to adapt to the clam shell style. The price is so much better than comparable styles.

Everything about this suitcase works for plane trips. it's light weight, easy to pack and easy to move through the airport.

Also, it looks great. We are very pleases with this purchase and have already used it for two international trips. Much easier to pack than the the two Tumis we have and fits better in the overhead bins. We will be buying another one.

I can't find anything wrong with this product. I love the color! Rolls very easily, and light. True to size as stated on description 22" x 14" x 9" (I rounded up). I am traveling to Colorado in a few weeks and I am looking forward to using this. It came in its own extra cover to keep it completely pristine when you receive it (1st picture). I don't think you are supposed to leave it on during your travels but who knows.

I am loving this suitcase. I was a little worried about how much I could fit in it coming from using a soft shell suitcase but I’ve been amazed at how much you can fit in this suitcase. I love the two sections and zippers to keep things organized. It’s very light weight and easy to lift into overhead bin. Maneuvers well and quickly in airport and on sidewalk even with a purse or other bag on top. You can’t beat the price/value! Only negative - I got a lighter color so it’s gotten some scuffs when I had to check it but they came off easily with a magic eraser.

I would buy another one of these and I’ve recommended to others already.

Thank you, Chester!

I have been quite happy with this suitcase. I did a lot of research looking for bags that actually meet the airline regulations for sizing. This bag (including wheels and handles) measures in just right at 9x14x22. I have used this bag for three trips now. On one of the legs I checked the bag to see how it would hold up. I didn’t use the provided protective sleeve and it survived without even a scratch.

This suitcase easily fits in the overhead bins on larger planes, but it also fits on the small CRJ regional jets as well. Smaller prop planes you will still need to gate check it, but nothing fits on those planes.

The fit and finish is good. The telescoping handle is strong and secure. The top of the telescoping handle is shaped so that my briefcase strap easily slips over it (nice touch). The wheels track well so that I am never twisting the handle to keep it moving ahead of me in the right direction. This was not the case with my old Travel Pro. Even in those carpeted airports the Chester bag moves nicely and I rarely have to switch to “drag it behind” mode like with other bags.

The only downside I see is that the side and top pop-out handles are a bit tight for my big hands and probably won’t work well with a gloved hand in the winter.

Took my first trip with this carry on. It was very light yet finished the four day trip like a pro. The size was perfect for the overhead bins, not requiring any stuffing or forcing. I was concerned a bit about the wheels but found that they stood up on many different surfaces. I specifically liked that the bag was very stable when standing up on all four wheels. I hooked my large, "fully" loaded, lap top pack on top of the case and it stood up without any help or requiring me to balance it. The only thing keeping this from 5 starts is that the zippers on the inside of the bag are a bit low-end. The one's that separate the hard shell from the interior don't even have pulls on them. Possibly done to reduce weight? Otherwise, great bag.

I bought the Chester carry-on suitcase based on the many positive reviews I saw here. I agree with them. It's lightweight, easy to maneuver, and holds plenty for a week in Mazatlan, Mexico. I used four packing pods which compressed my clothes. Even though there is no expansion zipper, the overstuffed suitcase zipped closed with little effort. Weight after fully packed was less than 24 pounds. I put my art supplies and toiletries into a second carry-on bag that was checked. A carry-on suitcase makes you rethink what you really need to take on vacation. So what if I wore my clothes more than once or twice!

Have used it twice now for international travel. Able to pack a lot on there with packing cubes. Things stay neat and it's easy to maneuver into an overhead compartment and wheel around airports, train stations and cities. Would recommend.

I finally bought this suitcase to replace my duffle bag. I am a Quality Engineer and always QA my purchases. It is just who I am. This is awesome. The construction is well done. The spinner wheels are amazingly responsive and the handle is a delight to hold and retract. I thought I was going to pay more for a replacement suitcase. I got the best of both worlds. Now going through the airport will not be a workout.

Very sturdy and spacious inside. However, if you’re an over packer like, this product isn’t for you. It doesn’t have an expander so what you see is what you get and there’s no “give” with the suitcase.

Moffie –

I like the fact that it is easy to clean. It came with a cover! I am not sure if this was just a packing cover but I am keeping it with the suitcase in case the airline ever makes me check it at the last minute. If that happens I will put on the cover I order to keep it clean. I would love to have a bigger suitcase to match!

So glad I decided to purchase this carry on. Many to choose from but after reading the other reviews I took a chance. This carry-on is roomy, easy to maneuver through airports and easy to pick up and lift over your head. I purchased the Sand color and I just love it!! Easy to clean too. Can't say enough about how nice it is; seems to be very well made. Time will tell if it stands up, but so far so good 🙂

I originally thought I wanted the straps inside each main compartment like in other luggage bags. However, this isn’t as deep or large as I had expected so my clothes ended up not sliding around at all. Also, while looking at it online i thought my dress shoes may fit into the zipper compartments on the one side that has them. They don’t. Those zipper compartments are for smaller items. I put my toiletries bag in between the two main compartments and just closed it up like that. I haven’t had it but for a week or so but I really like how light it is. I like how easy it rolls, on concrete, tile, or carpet. It perfectly fits a 3-4 day business trip. Without dress shoes inside it would probably fit a 5 day trip, if packed right. I am 6’2” and wear a size 11 shoe, for reference. Ummmm I dunno. I like it a lot. The only thing I’m not a big fan of is how tight the handles are on it. My hands are pretty slim and I still don’t have a lot of room to grab the handle. The flip side of that is, it keeps its dimensions down so I don’t care. Will edit if I change my mind on something. I’d for sure recommend this though.

The compartments are great, for organizing all your items. There is also a compartment with a smaller bag inside that you can easily tuck away if you're not using it. The bag even comes with its own dust bag which is great for storing. I wanted to wait until I actually used the bag until writing a review! I took a flight with it last week and I didn't have to think about anything at all! It's the lightest and smoothest luggage I've ever used and the wheels maneuver super easily. Worth the price and so much better than what I expected it to be. I would give this above a 5 start if I could.

This carry on is great! After having my luggage lost for over 1 week on a business trip overseas , I vowed to only use carry on luggage going forward.
I travel to a couple of different countries and needed something that will fit into many different airlines overhead compartments. The Chester had no issues fitting into British airways, United, Asiana, airchina, China southern & indigo.
I am confident it will fit into any airlines overhead compartment.
The carry on is lightweight even when fully packed. Was very easy to lift into and take out of the overhead compartments with the side handle.
The 2 zipped “walls” on the inside of each side of the case made it easy for me to stuff as many items as possible inside and easily zip the suitcase closed without everything falling out.
I used compression cubes and was able to pack 2 pairs of shoes, and 6 days of clothes.
Only negative is purely cosmetic. I thought the charcoal color would be more metallic or shiny than matte. It’s still very stylish, but would have ordered the all black if I knew it was so matte.
Looking forward to many more trips with this carry on!

This bag performed exactly as described in the product description. It fit in the overhead on a commuter flight to Denver CO with no issues so I have no worries when it comes to larger planes. I had to check it on the way back home because I had an extra carry-on and it came through beautifully.

SeekUp Grasshopper –

After years of going through 3 carry-ons that cost around $50-$100 each but having them break - usually the handle - I finally gave into purchasing this Chester carryon after reading the reviews and double checking with the seller about the warranty (was worried about that handle lol). I was hesitant not only because of the cost, but because it doesn't have an expandable zipper.
It arrives and first impression was "is there even a piece of luggage in this package?" it is that lightweight.
Then the time comes to pack and I am amazed, even now after a few uses, just how much you can pack in this thing. No expansion necessary.
Then maneuvering it about, so effortless.
And then recently we returned from a long overseas trip, where I had to check it on the return back. A few days after returning home I notice that one half of one of the wheels was damaged. I contacted the seller. It could not have been easier- I sent a pic and some information they asked for and a few days later, bam, there's my lifetime warranty replacement on my doorstep.
It doesn't get better than this for a carry on luggage. If you're on the fence, hop over and buy it. 🙂 Can't recommend it enough.

I haven’t traveled with it yet but so far the bag seems very well made with a sturdy handle, great maneuverability and a good quality zipper. It appears large enough inside to hold several changes of clothes and the necessary toiletries. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

After trying both Away and Chester, Chester wins hands down. For the price, you get the same product (or better, if you look at Away's clunky battery compartment + chester is more lightweight). Awesome luggage
