Hardside Luggage

Platinum® Reserve™ and Platinum® Elite carry the Travelpro® 10 Year Warranty, and the Platinum® Reserve™ Compact Cabin Hardshell Spinner (55.9 x 35.6 x 22.9 cm) adds USB-A and USB-C ports (power bank not included). Maxlite® Air V2 carries the Travelpro® 5 Year Warranty, and its Slim Cabin Hard Shell Spinner measures 55.0 x 40.0 x 19.8 cm. Optima® has an ultra-resilient polypropylene shell, and Pathways™ 3.0 uses a 100% polycarbonate shell.

A hard shell surrounds your belongings with a rigid exterior, while soft shell cases usually offer more give and exterior pockets. Many hard shells here still expand: the main compartment of the Maxlite® Air V2 Cabin Hard Shell Spinner expands 5 cm, and the Pathways™ 3.0 check-in spinners expand 5.1 cm. Our hard shell vs soft shell guide compares the two.

Cabin sizes include the Maxlite® Air V2 Cabin Hard Shell Spinner (55.9 x 35.6 x 22.9 cm) and the Platinum® Elite Slim Cabin Hardshell Spinner V2 (55.0 x 40.0 x 20.0 cm). For checked travel, the Optima® Expandable Medium Check-in Spinner measures 68.6 x 43.2 x 29.2 cm and the Platinum® Reserve™ Large Check-In Hardshell Spinner measures 77.5 x 49.5 x 30.5 cm. The Travelpro Runway® set pairs a carry-on with a case that converts from medium to large.

Wipe the shell with a soft cloth and mild soap and water, then dry it before storing the bag. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can scratch the finish, and wipe the wheels and handles regularly.
