Our take on the Maxlite 5 Carry-On Rollaboard

The Travelpro Maxlite 5 Carry-On Rollaboard is a softside domestic carry-on with two ball-bearing wheels, a two-position PowerScope Lite handle and a 2-inch expansion zip. It is built for travelers who want a light, simple two-wheel bag that rolls straight and packs a lot. Against four-wheel spinners it trades maneuverability for a lighter body and fewer parts to break. Owners rate it highly for weight, capacity and durability, while some find the two-wheel pull and the fabric shell less convenient than a spinner.
