Is this bag really a carry-on size?

The exterior dimensions are 23 x 14.75 x 10.5 inches, which fits most major US airline carry-on limits. The 30-inch height in the specs does not match those dimensions, so confirm with your airline before flying.

What comes inside the bag?

It includes a crush-proof packing cube that doubles as a compression panel, a slim packing cube sized to fit between the trolley tubes, a pack-flat shoe bag and a removable WetPak toiletry pouch.

Does it have a built-in lock?

Yes. It has a TSA-approved lock, so security can open and relock it without damaging the bag.

Can I track it if it goes missing?

There is a dedicated holder for an Apple AirTag inside the bag. The AirTag itself is not included.

How does it compare with the older Silhouette?

The 18 keeps the Silhouette shape but adds a scratch-resistant polycarbonate shell, the packing cube system, an AirTag holder and the WetPak pouch.

Does the shell expand?

Yes. The RPET zipper includes expansion, giving extra depth for souvenirs on the return trip.
