Level8 captain aluminum pro In-Depth buyers review | Watch First!
you have the best luggage videos on youtube. I swore I would never do a hardside clamshell carry on, but after watching your packing video I have converted.
Awww thank you so much! That means a lot to me.
Legendary Beis overview video. Forever cemented in the hall of fame for this one. Thank you!!!🎉
Thank you! This made my day!
I have the Carry On lite but it has the long closet. I find it unwieldy and useless. I prefer the packing cubes. I do like the suitcase, though, and just ignore the closet. On one trip I packed the closet empty because I needed it to hold clothes in the place where we stayed, so it did work as a closet in the closet, just not in the suitcase. I prefer packing cubes to the closet.
I agree! The suitcase is built well.
I appreciate your honest review. I was considering this piece and after watching you packing it and the entire review, I'm going to continue my search for a piece of luggage that will better fit my needs. Thank you for this honest and complete review!
Glad to help!
I have been using a slightly deeper RFID organizer for probably 15years (holds 5 passports with room for more) and I used that crossbody for a month in Europe in 2023. Highly recommend. I've been pondering the CX backpack (in matcha/lime green!)
It’s really good!
Would you get this one or the monos hybrid? The price difference is noticeable and the hybrid is not even full aluminum.
Tough question but my monos hybrid has gone on several trips with me and is still in good condition plus it’s international sized.
Great video! I'd just suggest to put the name of each bag while you are measuring them so we know which one it is. But I figured them out looking at the design. Thank you
Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind!
I have a 20 years old Heys that has been flying around a lot. Few scratches but still doing good. I was about to buy a mono for my daughter and remember mine was a Heys, look at reviews and saw yours. I think I made up my mind.
Both are great but Heys does make some incredibly durable luggage.
@ thank for your knowledge
just bought one, thnx Kelly!! 🎉
You’re welcome!
Love it!! I pack just li,e you do, and have happy holidays! Cheers!!
Same to you!
Wow, such a fun and clear video 👏Thank you so much! I’m surprised the AER isn’t loved more in these comments as I’m super impressed by the “no poke” zipper! To me, the most important part of luggage are its’ saftey from theft features. 🤷♀️ But you’ve clearly demonstrated that everyone has different opinions per feature, so thanks for breaking it all down so we can pick and choose! 🏆 So….it’s Quince (if I don’t care about the zipper) vs AER - which would you choose for cobblestone Europe?
Both work well on cobblestone. Brian used the AER in Ireland in July and had no issue moving around Dublin from the bus to the hotel.
@@ItsTheKellysthank you so much for the reply! Loving your videos and buying some of your recommended items in your links above, too-you rock 🫶
Thanks. How do you address the envelope.
I bought the closet and wasn't impressed! I use the vaccume bage with a portable vac made for it. Its so easy and i fit my husband's and my clothes for an Alaskan 11 day cruise in ONE suitcase!! The vaccume bags are not expensive and so easy. I hated the set it was so much work and I fit more without it!!
Agreed
Love your vids...super informative... i know you " specialize" in reviewing international size carryons but some major carriers like Qatar, allow a max exterior height dimension of 20" (50cm) help! I cannot find a carryon in that size...any suggestions? Thnx
The first time I heard of Papua New Guinea was when I read as a kid that they have cannibal tribes. Yikes! I hope you had a great time and thanks for the videos :)
My goodness, this might be the most helpful travel video of all time, thank you so much for doing this, especially for getting the extra detail from agents. Massively appreciated.
You’re welcome!
Which vessi shoes do you own? Do you still love them?
I own almost all of them! I do love them. So perfect for rainy days and even snow
Where is your sweater from!?
SHEIN :)
Omg that blue is gorgeous ❤
Right?!
Thanks. Going to Florida in march and I want to take a budget airlines and carry my takeoff luggage. I will be there for 5 days. I want to take 3 bottoms, a sundress and 5 light weight tops. A pr of sandals. I’ll wear my sneakers.
Quince sells compression cubes that are very similar in that thicker material… at $50 for a set of 6. I love them for packing in tight spaces when I am not concerned about weight, since the thicker material is a bit heavier that the ones (like the Away or July) that are out of thinner nylon. The Quince set also has some “interesting” sizes. The XS and S are great for underwear, bathing suits, socks, scarves or other small “bits” (and not just clothing.) And I don’t always bother with the compression feature (if I’m packing light) but I like the option.
Love that toiletry bag!
What would be yall goto for zipperless carry on? I'm leaning towards the Level 8 Hegent
You can do that one, it’s budget friendly. My favorite is the Monos or July though. Better compression.
I like the tolietry bag and I found one from them that is one side! I like it
18"x14"x8" is now the standard for MANY airlines. (2025)
Could I use this with a leather tote that doesn’t have a trolley sleeve? Will it hold leather?
Yes, you can use it with any bag
This is my first time on your channel and my first time hearing of this company. Thanks for video will have to look them up.
I'm so glad you found us! 🥰
OMG! Finally!!! A wide handle belt. Looks like it will fit on my Voyager by Level8. Yay!!!! Thanks for the video… and the coupon savings. Ordered the wide handle belt and the set of small luggage straps. I was debating myself regarding the big belt buddy (bag) and the belt bag and the later won out, for versatility… so that went into my cart too. 😂 Looking forward to getting them, in a week or so (according to shipping date estimates.)
Yay! Let me know how you like them!
@ I was considering making myself a luggage strap/belt to work with the wider handle of the Voyager, but this video (and new belt version ) came up, right on time. I wished Level 8 had come up with a solution and offered it for sale as an add on. 8 suspects that some people may hesitate to buy the Voyager, because the trolley pass through on their other bags won’t work on the wider handle.
I got the leopard belt for Christmas. I love the belt to go around the suitcase. I got on the waitlist for Hyacinth. Thanks for the video, or I would not have known about theirs. I was going to just get a cheap color strap, but this one looks much nicer.
I just bought a Rydir sleeve to attach my personal bag to my rolling carryon, because when my personal bag is full, there’s not enough slack for the trolly sleeve to work. Can you review it?
Possibly. But I’m pretty loyal to this brand.
This video is so timely, as I'm traveling soon and will be using a new wide handle bag that was given to me. I've been trying to figure out how to secure my personal item bag onto my carry on, and this is perfect! I've seen the first Cincha strap before, and thought it would be great, but didn't think they had a wide handle belt. Thank you, thank you!
So perfect!
We are tired of seeing prices go up every year while quality goes down. Add to that the sweatshop controversy and it's easy to go to other more affordable brands. As you said, kislux really popular
Lauren, I value your suggestions and continued sound advice to make travel less stressful!
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Those bags, tho a nice idea, are too large as a personal item on many airlines, esp in canada and europe and asia. Regarding the luggage straps,,,,more and more airlines are forbidding them claiming the straps get caught in various machinery used in sorting, moving and delivering luggage on and off the pane and onto carousels, to bad as it is a good idea
I guess the 24” size tote would only be good for road trips and wheeling them into hotels.
The foldable would be great to offload some stuff from your luggage to stuff under your seat. If you didn’t overfill, it would still fit in the bag sizer thingy..
I just purchased Foldie. Disappointed it’s not waterproof for the price. I will have to look into making it waterproof. Thanks for the video.
I have a hanke hardshell that opens traditionally. It works for me because opening just a small area is lighter weight than opening a clam shell and I have mobility issues with my hands.
Zipper queen is back
Just wanted to say, the sound / volume over the last few videos has been terrible. My normal volume is 28, I am at 38 and can still barely hear you 😭
Can you tell me what you’re using to listen? I’m trying to troubleshoot the issue.
@@ItsTheKellys I also had to turn up the volume. I’m listening on my MacBook.
@@ItsTheKellysI’m on my iPhone and the sound is fine for me. 🤷♀️
@@ItsTheKellysI have the same issue - I’m on an iPad Pro
It’s fine on my iPhone and computer also. Obviously, there’s something going on with the settings but the more info I have, hopefully, I can figure it out.
I have a backpack that fits smaller airline requirements. It’s anti theft but doesn’t have a trolley strap. I bought a Cincha belt and love it! Might have to look at some of the other items!
There’s solid lotion stick options.
Thank you I think that last belt will help with my checked, carryon and personal baggage as I’m on my own and needing to move all bags and keep together
Those look like nice products. I especially love the idea of the belt bag. I am going to their site to check them out.
What’s your favorite Cincha item? Let’s talk about it!
Love your video! Love your personality ! Great to SEE these outfits on a real person! Thank you!
I have a Level 8 but frankly I'm becoming a convert to travel backpacks. Far better for most places I go. I got a CabinZero.
Instant subscribe! Thank you!
GREAT video! I've been researching to invest in a good carry-on, and this was incredibly helpful.
It's now January 2025 and ALL domestic airlines have adopted the 18"x14"x8" size limit, making this bag more desirable than ever!
I use solid lotion stick or bars.
Sounds like such an exciting year! Would love to see you review the Portland gear cascade backpack (they have fun colors!) eventually🤞🏻 they’re both personal item sized and really cute and I was so surprised that you hadn’t reviewed it yet!
