Is the 20-inch Framelock Max a carry-on?

Yes. The 20-inch size is the carry-on, and the 27-inch is the checked bag. Check your airline's size limits, since the frame adds bulk.

How much does it weigh?

The 20-inch size weighs 7.3 lb. That is heavier than many soft-shell carry-ons, so pack with that in mind.

Does it have a zipper?

No. It closes with a frame lock instead of a zipper, which is the main difference from Samsonite's zippered spinners.

What colors does it come in?

Asphalt Black and Glacial Silver, both solid finishes.

The hard shell and smooth wheels are the draw; the weight and frame lock are the trade-offs. Weigh those against zippered spinners before deciding.

When does luggage tend to go on sale?

Luggage tends to drop during back-to-school and holiday sales. Check the price history to see where the price sits.

About the Samsonite Framelock Max Spinner

The polycarbonate shell and four dual spinner wheels are aimed at travelers who want a rigid, easy-rolling case. It weighs 7.3 lb in the 20-inch size, which is on the heavier side for a carry-on.
