I really want this but don’t have 300 to spare. Interested in the 6 month review. Also I want that color too!!!

[@joeybergin1058]

$300 is on par with a lot of the other well built hardshell carry-ons with similar features. Anything much cheaper is skimping on quality or features somewhere. That may be a trade-off a lot of people saying "$300 is too much" are willing to take...but the price point is in line with plenty of others

[@gregvansickle2143]

How well did it roll on a short carpet? The short clip in your video seems like it was not real smooth.

[@foXnoMad]

It was fairly smooth.

[@pinocavallini3067]

I have one. Is a little heavier but really well built. I expect to keep using it for the next 20 years. So for me, it makes sense to pay 300+ up front. Having said that, is it absolutely necessary to spend that kind of money? No. You can get a perfectly good carry on for 150...It's just a matter of preference.

[@zigapauko1]

Why this one? Samsonites top line is cheaper, more durable, better built and lighter.

[@AlmightyJallah]

Any cheaper recommendations on a carry on similar to this ?

[@foXnoMad]

I haven't reviewed and hard shell rollers recently, so no direct comparisons. The Samsonite options are a popular alternative though.

[@JumpmanJedi]

Does this meet the criteria/size restrictions for budget airlines? Specifically Spirit/Frontier? I know they have the bins you can drop your luggage into to make sure it fits.

[@foXnoMad]

Best to check the dimensions with the airline specific limits to be sure.

[@JumpmanJedi]

@@foXnoMad gotcha. Would you mind telling me the full outside dimensions then? The ridge website only tells the interior dimensions making this task difficult lol. I’d really appreciate it man!

[@noahneutral7557]

@@JumpmanJedi It's 22.5 x 14 x 9. It may be a tight fit for both carriers.

[@JumpmanJedi]

@@noahneutral7557 thanks man! I ended up buying it anyway lol. Guess we’ll see when I fly in the next couple of months.

[@noahneutral7557]

@@JumpmanJedi you're welcome! I've noticed that Frontier's Gate Agents are a little bit strict regarding the size, but it seems like it'll be a great fit! Let me know how it turns out please!

[@MrColeBeans]

$300 is just too much for a carry on. Like you said they didn’t reinvent the wheel here. Nothing revolutionary. However if it is durable and holds up well in all conditions then it may be worth the price if it can last a while without anything breaking.

[@kainoahartrum8103]

I agree with others. $300 is just too much. $150: yes. $200: maybe. $300?? Great video though!

[@foXnoMad]

Glad you enjoyed my video, thanks!
