Platinum® Elite Carry-On Rollaboard®

I bought this Rollaboard because I have a similar one I bought nearly 40 years ago, and it is still going strong. This new one works very well and there are some improvements like the compression strap system and extra pockets. The three things I see need improvement are the front pocket zippers stick a bit, the lighter weight handle assembly takes up more room than the older unit, and the wardrobe on my older unit was easier to use. It is still a great product.

I wish Travelpro would have consulted me on the design and build of this bag before they made any changes. I appreciate the external and internal appearance of the bag though it "feels" smaller as compared to my previous Travelpro bag of the same make and model. Construction feels solid during my early use. Hopefully it will hold up as well as my previous bag which lasted 10 years. As compared to my previous Travelpro bag, they made one of the outside zipper pockets into two smaller pockets, limiting how these pockets can be used. The layout garment section does not fold well if you have more than one suit as it appears they have decreased the depth of the garment section. Travelpro moved the internal straps holding clothing, etc. in place from a horizontal position on the bag to vertical which may not be a big deal for some but this makes it more cumbersome for me to pull anything out of the bag without completely unzipping the main compartment. Lastly, the new bag has a tendency to tip over when I have a second bag strung across the telescoping handle. This was not a problem with my previous bag.

Lightweight, durable and surprisngly roomy. Exactly what I needed.
