Note to U.S. shoppers<\/strong>: Some Monos luggage items are now available from Nordstrom. Buying from Nordstrom allows you to try the bag at home and return your item in-store for free, as opposed to having to pay $20 to ship it back to Monos. Nordstrom has a limited selection of styles and colors, however.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I am <\/span>a frequent traveler who hates packing, and this Monos<\/a><\/span> luggage review explains why I chose the Vancouver-based brand as among my new favorites. There are lots of pros as well as a few cons. Read on to decide if Monos is right for you.\u00a0<\/p>

Off the top, I will say that my priorities were lightweight, hard-sided luggage that rolled like a dream. I was willing to invest but didn’t have the budget for a luxury brand like Tumi or Rimowa. <\/span><\/p>

I was initially shopping for carry-on luggage and later also purchased the Monos Check-In Medium.<\/span><\/a><\/p>

In my initial search for luggage, I purchased several brands and returned them all. One didn\u2019t have enough compartments. Another had a clever design but was too heavy. There were sticky zippers, wobbly handles and awkward layouts. And then I found Monos.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The carry-on bag I was replacing was a Samsonite that I had owned for many years. It had held up well but was too heavy at over 10 pounds. I often travel solo so wanted to be able to lift my carry-on bag into the overhead bin on my own.<\/span><\/p>

Something a little more stylish would be welcome as well. And I hoped to do a lot of traveling over the next ten years, so it had to be durable and easy to roll. Why am I always rushing through airports?!<\/p>

Like me, Monos is Canadian; I live in Denver but am from Toronto. Monos was launched in 2018 by Vincent Tam. His vision for the company was to make premium luggage affordable by selling direct-to-consumers. It is similar in price point and style to competitor, Away. More on that comparison below.<\/p>

Some Monos luggage items are now available through retail stores, at Nordstrom<\/span><\/a><\/span> in the U.S. and at a retail flagship in Toronto, Canada<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Monos Carry-On Bags - Three Sizes<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Monos makes three sizes of carry-on luggage:<\/span> The Carry-On<\/span><\/a>, Carry-On Plus<\/span><\/a> and Carry-On Pro<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>These are available in classic or the newly-launched expandable line. For this review I will focus on the classic luggage which I have used extensively. Once I’ve had a chance to travel with their expandable luggage, I will add it in.\u00a0<\/p>

The Carry-On Pro<\/span><\/a><\/span> comes with a front compartment that can accommodate a 15\u201d laptop. (Note that reviewers have said the compartment won’t fit larger laptops so be sure and check the dimensions of yours, if this bag is of interest.)<\/p>

For many travelers, accessing a laptop without opening your roller bag is a great feature. If you travel with a small personal item, and need a spot for your laptop, the Carry-On Pro<\/span><\/a> might be the way to go.\u00a0<\/p>

I usually keep my laptop in my tote bag at my seat, so my decision was between the Carry-On<\/span><\/a> or the Carry-On Plus<\/span><\/a> (same design, two sizes).\u00a0 I ultimately chose the smaller “Carry-On” because I wanted a lighter bag. The Carry-On weighs 7 pounds and the Carry-On Plus is 7.38 pounds. Yes, that’s a small difference, but the volume also differs: 48 liters for the Carry-On Plus, versus 39 liters for the Carry-On.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I knew I would inevitably pack more with a bigger bag so it would be heavier. Even a few extra pounds make a difference when I am lifting it into an overhead bin or carrying it up the stairs of the Metro in Paris.<\/p>

In addition, I do fly within Europe and European airlines usually have smaller luggage size limits. They also sometimes weigh your carry-on bags to check if you are within weight limits \u2014 looking at you Air France. For all those reasons I chose the smaller bag.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

That said, if you mostly travel in the U.S., the\u00a0 Carry-On Plus<\/span><\/a> <\/span>might be preferable.\u00a0<\/p>

The standard size for a carry-on roller on many U.S. airlines is U.S. is 22\u201d x 14\u201d x 9\u201d, the exact dimensions of the Monos Carry-On. The Carry-On Plus has an extra 1\/2 to 1 inch in each dimension (see the comparison image above).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Monos luggage has two larger hard-sided roller bags: the Check-In Medium<\/span><\/a><\/span> and Check-In Large<\/span><\/a><\/span>. I have the Check-In Medium and have taken it on several trips including a dream trip to Africa.\u00a0<\/p>

For a holiday trip to Canada I was able to stuff it Like Santa’s sac, with gifts for my relatives. This is in part thanks to a clever design and internal compression pad (more on that below). <\/span><\/p>

The style is very similar to the Carry-On bag, but it features two additional interior pockets. It is lightweight, attractive, and a dream to roll \u2014 one of my favorite features of Monos luggage. <\/span>It weighs 9.6 pounds has a 70 L volume and measures: 26.5″ \u00d7 18.5″ \u00d7 10.5″. <\/span>It is recommended for trips between 7 and 21 days. <\/span><\/p>

The Check-In Large is only slightly heavier at 10.6 pounds and it gives you 90 L of interior space. It measures 30″ \u00d7 21″ \u00d7 11″.<\/p>

My medium bag is the desert taupe color, and it does show scuffs. (More on cleaning it below). In hindsight, I wish I had chosen a dark color, the gorgeous olive green<\/span><\/a> or black. Other than the scuffing, it has held up well after two trips to Europe, one trip to Africa and one trip to Canada. I have been very happy with it and do recommend it, with some caveats explained below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Monos bags are made with German Makrolon polycarbonate \u2013 an aerospace-grade material that is both light and durable. Because of its flexibility, it is supposed to be resistant to dents because the material has some flex. Some reviews claim their luggage has dents after limited use. I haven’t experienced that; mine has remained dent-free.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The extendable handle is often the weak point with luggage but mine has held up really well. I have taken my carry-on roller bag on some 20+ trips at this point, without issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you want to see durability in action, check out their website page on quality testing<\/span><\/a>, specifically the “telescopic handle jerk test<\/span>. I was strangely mesmerized by the sight of the bag hanging by the handle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the reasons I returned several other bags was the interior design just didn’t lend itself to keeping things in place and organized. The\u00a0Monos<\/span><\/a> website claims a thoughtfully designed interior and I have found that to be true.\u00a0<\/p>

The layout of the Carry-On and checked bags are similar. Pictured above and below are the Carry-On.\u00a0One side of the bag is enclosed with a zipped panel; it is perfect for shoes and other bulky items. For me, the real magic is the other side which has a compression pad.\u00a0 Place your piles in, and try not to concern yourself that they are three inches higher than the side of the bag. The compression pad will work its magic and hold everything down. Imagine a pair of Spanx, for your clothes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

My first trip with my Monos Carry-On luggage was to LA.\u00a0 One of the things I noticed immediately was how quiet the wheels were and how easily it moved along and changed direction as I did. Also, although I fit even more than I expected with the compression pad, it was light enough. I could easily lift it into the overhead bin; you might say I was a bit of a luggage ninja. A couple of people stood to offer help and then realized I didn’t need it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

I found the design of the compartments were great for keeping everything organized. It was a short trip so I didn’t unpack everything.\u00a0<\/p>

On the day I was leaving LA, I left my luggage with the concierge at the hotel while I went for a bike ride in Venice Beach. The concierge rolled it away with me trailing behind as she was retrieving a bike from storage at the same time. She commented on how attractive it was and how well it moved and asked the brand name. I’m guessing she has since ordered one.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In addition to my domestic travels, my Monos carry-on luggage has traveled with me to France, Spain, Greece, Croatia, Cyprus and Africa. My Europe travel included planes, trains and automobiles, and my Monos bag performed beautifully. One thing to keep in mind with Europe travel is that it can be awkward to travel on trains with large bags. For this reason, I prefer two small roller bags, to one large bag.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

My Monos luggage has held up well with no damage or dents, but its big con is that they show scratches and scuffs. The lighter the color the more they show. After returning from a recent trip to Canada my Monos checked bag (which I have in the light beige called desert taupe) was covered in dirty scuffs. I used a solution of baking soda mixed with dish soap, a rag and some elbow grease and was able to get the scuffs out. Pictured below are a before and after. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
