Is the Skyway Epic carry-on good for frequent flying?

Probably not. Owner complaints about wheels, handles and zippers show up most on bags used often. Occasional travelers get more value from it.

Does it fit in most overhead bins?

At 23.25 inches tall including wheels, it is close to the common 22-inch carry-on limit on some US airlines. Check your airline's size before packing it full.

How much does the expansion add?

About 2 inches of depth. That helps on return trips but puts more strain on the zippers, which owners already criticize.

Is it water-resistant?

The twill polyester is weather-resistant, so it handles light rain and spills. It is not waterproof, and the zippers are not sealed.

Yes. The zippers are lockable and TSA-approved, so you can add a TSA padlock. A lock is not included.

The carry-on itself. No lock, packing cubes or laundry bag are included.

Our take on the Skyway Epic

The Skyway Epic is a 20-inch soft-sided carry-on in twill polyester, with four dual spinner wheels, a 2-inch expansion zip and two exterior pockets. It weighs 6 lbs, which is light for a soft-sided bag, and the lockable zippers are TSA-friendly. Owners rate it poorly overall, and the most common complaints are wheel and handle durability and zipper failures after a few trips. It suits budget-minded travelers who pack light and want expansion and pockets, but it is a weaker bet than soft-sided rivals from Travelpro or Samsonite for frequent flyers.
