A solid companion for short-haul flights and city breaks, the Expanse International Carry-On hits the sweet spot between ruggedness and practical design.
Eagle Creek says:
For international travelers that need to comply with strict baggage regulations, the Expanse™ International Carry On offers up efficient packing capacity built with eco-conscious materials. Multiple pockets to organize your load and the durability of 100% Recycled Poly Ripstop, this bag is as good for you as it is the planet.
Our Verdict
The recycled poly ripstop shell holds up well against the usual knocks of airport trolleys and overhead bins, and the wheels handle cobbled streets better than I expected. The layout is straightforward — no fuss, just functional — with a decent main compartment, compression straps, and a handy front section that fits my laptop without making the whole bag feel bulky.
I like that it stays within strict airline size limits while giving enough room for five or six days of travel if I pack smart. It doesn't feel overly techy or overbuilt, which I appreciate. I would tweak the expansion zip — useful, but it can throw off the bag's balance if you're rushing through tight gate queues.
For minimalist travel without sacrificing organisation or durability, the Expanse carries its weight.
