Our take on the Travelpro WalkAbout 7 Check-in Spinner

The WalkAbout 7 is Travelpro's hard-sided check-in spinner, built from 100% polycarbonate with a scratch-resistant finish and a built-in TSA lock. It expands about 2 inches for extra packing room and rolls on four spinner wheels with the PowerScope Lite telescopic handle. At 9.4 lbs it is on the heavier side for a polycarbonate case of this size, so packers who count ounces may prefer a lighter rival. It suits travelers who want a durable, lockable checked bag with a trusted brand name behind it.
