As an avid traveler, I’m always up for the chance to pack my bags and hit the road or hop on a plane. And since summer is here and my flights are booked for my next trip, the only thing left to do is think about what I’ll need before I go and one constant concern is my luggage. Even though I’ve become an expert packer, the ever-changing bag size requirements are always an issue. I’ve purchased several carry-on bags over the years, only for them to eventually become obsolete as airlines frequently change what’s considered appropriate for overhead bin storage. Since I’d rather pack less than wait at the baggage claim for my gear, finding the perfect carry-on that’s not only the right size and fit, but can withstand the beating it takes, is a personal mission of mine.

Enter the Tesport Cloud Flex Carry-On. I’ve never used hard-shell luggage before, and to be honest, I wasn’t sure how I felt about it, even though I see it everywhere, in every airport. The idea that even one bump on the carousel would result in dings and unattractive marks has kept me using soft luggage up to this point.
In this article: Tesport Lightweight Mini Pouch, Tesport Cloud Large Tote and Tesport Crossbody Belt Purse
I took this carry-on on a weekend trip, and imagine my delight to find it comes with not only two interior spaces with a removable compression divider, but also zippered pockets for clean and dirty items, toiletry and laundry bags, plus two packing cubes, which allowed me to keep everything perfectly organized the entire time. I haven’t had a chance to see how the Tesport Cloud Flex holds up to an extended vacation, but I have a good idea, and needless to say, I’m excited to try it out on my week-long trip this summer.
Tesport 20in Hard-Shell Carry-On Luggage with Spinner Wheels
The carry-on offers plenty of interior space and can expand an extra 2 inches, all while staying overhead bin-friendly. The 360-degree spinner wheels are smooth enough to roll seamlessly over almost any surface, including carpet. The telescoping handle makes for an easy grip and there’s also a soft grip on the side, a TSA-approved lock (which will be a first for me), and that built-in cup holder is a huge plus.
If it's not carry-on luggage you're looking for, Tesport also has a cool-looking crossbody bag that would be great for everyday use, a tote bag that's perfect as your carry-on personal item, and a laptop backpack that attaches easily to your roller luggage and even has a separate space for shoes.
My Cloud Flex is a stunning rose gold, or “champagne” as Tesport calls the colorway, but it comes in five additional colors. I’m looking forward to my trip this summer to see exactly how much I can store in the carry-on, and I have a feeling I’ll be pretty happy with the results.
Tesport Lightweight Mini Pouch
This mini pouch is the perfect addition to the Cloud Tote, as it can hold important items like keys, credit cards, identification and medication all in one place so you don't have to hunt something down when you need it. It comes in six colorways.
We love a good tote bag! This quilted version has an exterior tablet pocket, an interior laptop pocket, a key leash and two side pockets for water bottles. It features built-in RFID-blocking technology to protect your personal items and the trolley sleeves slide over Cloud suitcase handles with ease.
You don't need a trip planned to have a reason to use this crossbody bag. Great for everyday use, the main compartment has three credit card slips and a zippered interior pocket for other essentials. It also has a zippered back pocket that's a great place to store your phone and the adjustable buckle and shoulder strap allow you to use it as both a belt bag and a crossbody bag.
Tesport Medium Laptop Backpack for Women & Men
A good laptop backpack is worth its weight in gold to a frequent traveler. This lightweight version has a padded laptop slip for computers up to 14 inches, two exterior zippered pockets that'll allow you to reach for travel essentials with ease, two side pockets for water or beverages and the built-in RFID-blocking tech will keep your sensitive data secure.
