I usually don't overpack when using a carry-on. When it bulges that means you didn't pack correctly or brought too much for a trip. I will usually do laundry when I ran out of clean clothes during a trip. Spinners are actually easier to move about in smooth surfaces.
Thank you ! Good review for reference before buying g-ro. I don't know if g-ro 2018 has improved or getting better via comments from users but your review about the big wheels (which is also my first impression to this luggage) vs most airport floors really helped on deciding to get this g-ro or not.
just came back from a trip and used the G-ro, my complaint is the bag is super heavy so that i cant pack a lot in it due to airline weight restrictions.. so ended up still bringing my backpack.. also good thing i put my cam and other expensive stuff in my backpack coz the G-ro fell down 3 times with a loud SMACK! on the floor.. its nice to hold and carry around but dont put important stuff inside thats what i can say
I love my G-RO but I also have the same issue regarding the laptop compartment. I found it useless to store any tablet/laptop when traveling. The pressure from the clothing creates a bulge which doesn’t allow you to use the compartment freely. This is even after not filling it up to its max capacity.
It looks like it holds an impressive amount of clothing, a weeks worth clothes with business things (laptops, cables) all in one carry on is impressive, thanks
very nice follow up! you really packed alot, now i really want to get one of those bag. But i have additional questions though, i see quite alot of people complain about tipping over and noisy wheel, so.... is it really easy to tip over when empty, and/or packed? and what about the wheel, how noisy is it really? considering now u've been travelling quite a bit, is the noisy obvious when rolling around the house?
Hi Droom, the G-RO does tip very easily while empty. However, when full it's extremely stable. I haven't had a single time when it would fall when full. Bear in mind that it never sits fully upright, with a slight tilt forward. This does not affect it's stability. I wouldn't say the wheels are noisy, they are not dead quiet but definitely not noisy, wouldn't say the noise is a con. If comparing the wheels against the Delsey and other spinners I would say that the con is that G-RO offers more rolling resistance than the spinners (not much more though not to buy it). If I was you I would wait for the price to drop, don't think it justifies the price difference between the Delsey Helium Aero right now.
Mike Wright..yes, still use it, but the two wheel design is kind of annoying in planes and tight spots. However the extra stuff you can take is still a very important plus. Regarding the watch, it's an apple watch 2 sport edition with an amazon purchased milanese loop
Nice follow up Luis, just received my G today so am super pleased. Thanks for the comprehensive reviews

Frederick Chao yep. The g-ro does not sound very stable indeed. Does it tip over?
Thanks for the candid review, Luis!

Good review. Would only buy because of the wheels to drag on city streets
Thank you! Your review was very useful
Thanks for the update!
Nice insights. Thanks!

If the g-ro itself is already heavy...then how much load left to be packed inside ? Average onboard weight is around 7 kg.
Great review, do you still use it? Btw is that an Apple Watch strap? If so what type?
Mike Wright..yes, still use it, but the two wheel design is kind of annoying in planes and tight spots. However the extra stuff you can take is still a very important plus. Regarding the watch, it's an apple watch 2 sport edition with an amazon purchased milanese loop
Mike Wright actually can't remember which watch strap i was using. Can you point to the time in the video when you saw it?
Good video, very compete
what brand is that shirt holder you use?
nevermind, i just found out it came with the luggage
