For the Overpacker

Monos is no joke! The quality of my check in luggage is serious quality. I utilize check in luggage a lot. I have traveled around on a 6 country tour previously when my luggage wheels broke on country #2. I instantly became “that obnoxious American” with the noisy check in bag who was lost all the time.

From that experience I knew I had to get a higher and better quality luggage set . I got a check in peace from monos and I do not regret it in the slightest! one of the best decisions I’ve made! I know with this new luggage I will never be put in a similar situation like that ever again. Not only is this design WAY more high end than Away and just stunning overall, it has the quality to boot! Now I will still be a lost American roaming around with gorgeous high quality luggage. lol

First and foremost, I purchased my first hard shell luggage 2 years ago and the company provided a 10 year warranty. On the first flight, the wheel area cracked and the company refused to replace it or refund me. I was beyond annoyed and decided to do my research when purchasing another luggage. I was initially going to avoid a hard shell until I stumbled on MONO. I read the reviews, watched the stress test video and looked over the warranty. After carefully considering other brands, I felt that MONO not only exude integrity, I really felt like they took pride in there products. I made my purchase with confidence and chose the light taupe colour for easy identification on the luggage belt. The only concern I had with this purchase was the fact it didn't have an extension option but that concern easily disappeared. I fit the same amount of items in this luggage with ease. The zipper was so easy to use and I had no issues closing the suitcase up. In 5 weeks, I took my luggage on 9 flights and dragged it through the rain forest and on a boat. This luggage was so easy to drag and swivel on different terrains. The luggage is obviously scuffed up but I don't care and have yet to try and wipe it clean. I am very satisfied with my purchase!

I am extremely satisfied with the Carry-on Plus! There are already many detailed reviews outlining the great features of this luggage, but one thing I was most concerned with is whether this luggage would fit in the overhead for short-haul flights in North America that are on slightly smaller aircrafts. I can happily confirm that not only did it fit in the overhead compartment smoothly (no shoving required), it also fit fine in the Delta carry-on sizer (just make sure to put wheels-in first).

The anti-microbial fabric is a very nice touch, and aesthetically I love the matching zippers to the body of the suitcase. The handle was extremely sturdy, and I received my purchase within 2 business days. Happy to have found a Canadian brand to support!

I travel on business every week for a luxury design and real estate company. I am verrrry particular on my choices for everything. I read reviews and watch videos first also about the coolest carry-ons from Away, Calpac, Victorinox, Roam, Beis, and others with a design that I could live with. All design and quality factors pointed the Monos. I didn't need to spend over $300 to find a great larger 21-22" carry-on suitcase. I was concerned about cheaper price points that I have had before. I did not want a heavy weight either. I did not want a shiny scratchable over-modelled design grooved into the hard case. I wanted sophistication but with real quality. Delivery took less than a week, and I sooo relieved when I opened it up....everything I hoped for. So far after 2 weeks, no issues, an easy choice that you can be proud of. Looks great, works great!

What sold me on the Monos was the poly, the wheels, the zipper, the interior, the handle, the lock, made in Canada.
