BEST Carry-On Luggage in 2025 (IN DEPTH Monos Hybrid Carry On Review)

[@paulasimson4939]

That was the best demonstration review I've ever seen! You worked that luggage HARD, and I appreciate seeing how it stood up to your real life torture tests. You convinced me. And I hope you enjoyed Vancouver - my city!

[@buildyourmoxie]

😍 love your city so much!! Haha and yes!! The poor luggage! I’m so surprised I didn’t break it! 🤣

[@Jjrmtv]

swimming thru the various YT channels, some hit or miss. your channel is by far, the best. you explain everything with great detail and finesse

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@Jjrmtv 🤩wow! Thank you so much! 😱 that’s such high praise 🥹🥰

[@crisjenness274]

The best demo by far. I love how you’re rough and tough with it to really showcase quality and durability. I have the hybrid trunk and thinking about getting the carryon. Thanks!

[@buildyourmoxie]

=D thank you so much for your comment hehe. I love my monos so much! One day i may get the hybrid trunk!

[@Aleslie-w5y]

Thanks for your review. Wonderful that you mention it’s international sized no one says it. I’m subscribing!!

[@saskfiddlegirl3036]

I just wanted to say I love all of your videos! I've been a fan of your channel for a while!

[@buildyourmoxie]

Aw thanks so much!!! That means so much to me! I’m a little crazy so thanks for sticking around! 🤭😂

[@dianedoherty3655]

Haha, you are a natural comedienne. Your facial expressions are gold. You should develop those talents. Anyhow you sold me on this monos bag, and it was on sale for LD wkend, so thankyou!

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@dianedoherty3655 haha aw you are too sweet! Thank you so much!! Yay! I’m glad you got the Labor Day sale!! That’s a lot of $$ you saved! 😱

[@melissahubbard3537]

That preview reeled me in…you are hilarious! Plus oh so informative! The review was helpful, entertaining and convincing! I recently purchased the black hybrid carry-on and plan to use it for the first time real soon!

[@buildyourmoxie]

Hehe thank you for watching!! You are going to love your bag so much!! 😍

[@nurseann9885]

And just when I am considering the hybrid version. Glad to see this vid❤

[@buildyourmoxie]

Ooo that’s so cool! Perfect timing! Hope my video helps clarify your decision :)

[@visionarystyle_]

Have you ever used the carry on for a 2 week trip? Do you think it will get pretty banged up if you were to check it in as luggage every now and then? Cheers

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@visionarystyle_ yes I used it for multiple two week trips. It was awesome! I got the cover and keep it in the bag so I can use it when it gets checked in which I showed in part of the video :) if you use cover you should be good

[@carolynwilson7806]

Great review! I’m sold!

[@buildyourmoxie]

😃 thank you for the compliment!! 😁 and thank you for watching!

[@ThuTran-lv6qo]

I have their bookbag also. Highly recommend. It is sleek and compact but is able to hold a lot of stuff. Everyone always stops me in the streets to ask about it.

[@buildyourmoxie]

😍 wow I love that. Thank you for sharing! Monos has some really pretty items! I need to check out the book bag!

[@KatherineRipellino]

The hybrid are slightly heavier and have a little less space. I have been debating over the standard or the hybrid. Thoughts?

[@Jade01]

Ohhh can you do a review of the monos hybrid check in??!

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@Jade01 ooo I have the monos hybrid check in! It’s soooooo good. It’s just as sleek and has very similar compartments. I ended up getting the cover for it as well because I want to keep it looking so pretty. It’s slimmer than the Beis check in which I love. I took the monos hybrid check in to Barbados and it survived all the bumps and crazy roads too! The wheels are just as smooth! I super recommend. It’s pretty much just a check in size version of the carry on! 😍🔥

[@Jade01]

@@buildyourmoxie ohhhh!! Okk I’m sold! 😂 thank you!

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@Jade01 have fun!! ☺️ it’s such a great suitcase 😭

[@charlzdi1961]

Wow!! Best review ever!!

[@buildyourmoxie]

haha thank you so much for watching!! I had lots of people from Barbados stare at me from their windows wondering what i was doing. Such a fun video to make! 😂

[@michaelgleason9083]

Erica, that was a great advertisement for the luggage. They should send you a commission check! Only you could make luggage cute.

[@KenshoQuest]

That was fun! It's a bit too heavy for what I need, but it does look nice and sturdy.

[@SugarAppleKR]

Awesome review and I see hope you loved Barbados 🇧🇧

[@tcconnection]

Wow, you said a lot in that short time, they should love this ad. Have you done a comparison video of different carry-ons?

[@anthonybarton3850]

I WANT IT!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@buildyourmoxie]

😂it’s the best bag ever!

[@laurab6418]

I love the monos!! But that luggage scratches up like nobody’s business 😩

[@quentintyler]

How much clothes can it hold?

[@buildyourmoxie]

Hehe I made a Japan packing video here for my carry on only trip! This might give you some ideas. I only packed on one side for clothes :) What To Pack for Japan CARRY ON ONLY (Minimalist Travel TIPS) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5vacoCrisagmrs

[@vangieschulz7708]

Do you like this better than Beis? If so, why?

[@buildyourmoxie]

Yes! I do! The quality is much much better. I can feel the difference FOR SURE. It’s a little more expensive (for good reasons). I love that I don’t need to zip anything as well. And the aluminum reinforcements are really good! I also love the way it looks. And I love black and anything that looks sleek. My beis one is “fun” and trendy to look at which i love but sometimes I just need a sleek look! And I loved being sleek in Japan haha. For the rolling, it is smoother than the beis in my opinion. It is also carry on appropriate size at 22x14x9 where the beis one is bigger by an inch. Beis just came out with the small version of carry on but that one is now an inch smaller than the monos. I love that my monos has a cover you can get too. That was huge for me. I know I can get a suitcase cover from Amazon but I like it when the brand has their own so it’s more cohesive look

[@animalcossingPR]

I wish more people on KZbin and other platforms would put more luggage brands to the test like this. 😂😊

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@animalcossingPR haha! Thanks so much!! I really want to find another luggage and test it! 😂

[@animalcossingPR]

@buildyourmoxie ooohhh please please do Away, I just bought their medium and large flex but idk if I really need the large flex. Maybe with the medium flex and the Bigger Carry On ill be set 😁

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@animalcossingPR I am interested to do an away luggage and put it to the maximum test!! 😈

[@raroshraj]

did you get the carry on or carry on plus? which one would you recommend

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@raroshraj I did the regular carry on!! 😃 I try not to do plus as some airlines will make you check it in cuz it’s too big for the overhead cabin

[@christophervradis7285]

do you prefer carry on luggages over travel backpacks ? if yes why? Thank you so much for the great videos love them !!! Especially the one how to survive long flights pt1 and pt2 were super nice and helpful !

[@buildyourmoxie]

Yes I do! (Prefer carry on rollers over backpacks if I could pick only one) Because I know I will need to walk a lot when traveling and I love being able to roll 🤭. I’m a physical therapist, so I try to tell my patients to offload as much as they can! But my travel backpacks have a trolley pull thru so I also have the option to put it on my carry on so I can roll! 😃

[@abjzdhbbo]

Could you do a water resistant test ?

[@Flipgolfer]

Where did you get the cover for your check in monos large size?

[@annwaltzer]

have you compared the roll on these wheels with the Rimowa wheels? And I'm wondering how this luggage will last.

[@buildyourmoxie]

I have not tried Rimowa 😅. Too expensive ☠️. But I did over 5 miles on regular ground with bumps thru Canada and Japan including dirt and grass and many curbs. And then I took it out for a 30 minute run in Barbados (rough floor) and it did extremely well. 🫡 I would love to review rimowa some day if I ever get enough money lol

[@apatrid4727]

Rimowa is quite poorly rated actually, you pay for an ultra heavy bag that's not better quality than a higher end Samsonite. Beware of the hype but if you really want to show off then get a Tumi, not as expensive as Rimowa but at least much better quality.

[@tubetop123]

Thanks for the great review. The weight is bit too Heavy for my taste

[@buildyourmoxie]

Understandable!! I looked at weight too but in the end to get a good quality super light weight luggage that is like 4 pounds is soo expensive. The other ones from cheaper brands that are super light weight also don’t last long ☠️ I just pack less heavy pants now if needed. The weight for monos, beis, and away is very similar so I just go by what will last and quality :)

[@k.s.2392]

Ryanair standards?

[@joycechang9909]

Did Monos win you over?! This was a hilarious yet informative video 😂

[@buildyourmoxie]

Haha omg yes they did! 😂 I was like dang now I bought the check in and Anthony wants a set now too ☠️. Take my money

[@buildyourmoxie]

I still really like my beis. But it got all banged up cuz I had to check it in when we went to Barbados 😔. And also it does not fit on air Canada so I’m all paranoid now to bring it to new airlines I haven’t tried.

[@tyler4229]

Why do I feel out of breath after watching this?

[@Tttl-y9j]

Buyer Beware: Scratches on Luggage Be cautious when purchasing this luggage, as it is highly prone to scratches. After just a one-week trip without checking it in, I found scratches all over the surface. Additionally, the 100-day trial period only allows for the luggage to be inspected or tested in your living room. Please pay close attention to the fine print before making a decision.

[@buildyourmoxie]

Aw I’m sorry your luggage got all scratched up. This video’s talking head portion was filmed after 24 ish travel days and i didn’t feel like mine got that scratched. I did have to check it in when we were flying to barbados but the cover helped (that was the only time i used the cover)

[@buildyourmoxie]

If you have seen any of my other review videos, you know I am HARD TO IMPRESS! 😅 I loved this carry on so much that I bought the large hybrid check in! If you are a dude or dudette, this luggage will look good on you :).

Please review the Monos Hybrid Trunk next. I am intrigued by the shape and layout of it as well as the clasp opening. it seems heavy, but am wondering how it is in practice and holding up. Thank you for your great and thorough review!

[@lillygirl7238]

Love love love your videos. Just got back from Dallas and could have used the Monos!👏🏼🥷😎🌺🍍
