The Case: Monos Hybrid Carry-On Suitcase ($325)
The Features: The 22-inch carry-on weights eight pounds and is great for taking on a plane. It holds the perfect amount of stuff for a two- to five-day trip. Not only do I love its sleek look, but it's lightweight and easy for me to lift up and put in an overhead bin. Made with anodized aluminum, it's a durable choice that has been able to withstand many plane and car rides with just a few scratches. I love the nonzipper opening that features TSA-approved locks.
Why I Love It: My favorite thing about this bag is its inside features. One side zips and has a mesh pocket on the outside, and the other side has compression straps that help me get in as much clothes as I possibly can. These truly handy features help me pack more efficiently every time.
Who It's Good For: The hybrid bag is a great choice for someone who wants a midrange-price carry-on. If you often go on short trips and like to fly light, this is your match.
