Chris, used your discount on the carry on. Thanks. Just got back from multi city trip from Japan. Can't speak completely to its durability since I didn't check it but it fit great in overhead. It did great on streets of Japan and the trains and the stairs and escalators. Wheels amazing. Packing system worked well for me. 2 medium packing cubes, 2 small and a shoe bag.
Thanks for this review Chris! I have a fairly new cheap carry on, but was intrigued by latches vs zippers. I especially liked how you showed the sizing for Alaska airlines (and stated the same for United) because what's the sense in going with a carry-on if they make you check it because it's too big. Your 15% off link helped me take the leap!
I have the 24” in the same color. I checked it and found that their shell is very weak. It for sure is not crush proof. I have a puncture, chipping and bending on the polycarbonate shell all from the FIRST trip. I was very disappointed because this initially seemed very robust and strong. Yes it does look amazing, wonderful packing design and the wheels are phenomenal…I even got many compliments on it at the airports.
Ah. That's a bummer Mercy Pants.. thanks for the report. Only carried this one on. I have checked in the big Voyageur (the yellow and black one) and it's been pretty durable for me
I just got this for a transatlantic flight on Turkish air, but at 10+ pounds, the weight limit on Turkish is about 17# per carry on. May end up checking it through.
My Hegent 24 case has been on 2 round-trip travels via Delta and is already falling apart: 2 of 4 of the corner protector/reinforcements have fallen off, and the remainder of the case is degrading quickly. This is not durable luggage. Particularly after communicating briefly with Level8 customer service, I cannot understand how anyone would interpret the language of their Warranty to rate any other rating than the lowest possible by any measure. Please consider updating your review.
Hi Great review. Quick question. I just did a search for Best Carry On Luggage via multiple review websites and Level 8 was NEVER on any of the lists. Are they not good enough quality to make the best carry on list? Samsonite seemed to be at the top of several, is Level 8 of equal quality? I do like how this Level8 Hegent Carry-On looks and love the zipperless latches too. Please reply. I'm about to go away on a business trip and I need a new carry on asap. THANK YOU
@@YellowProductions - thanks again. I just saw on Amazon... LUGGEX Zipperless Luggage with Spinner Wheels - Polycarbonate Aluminum Hard Shell Suitcase, Carry-On 20-Inch for $99. AnyZip Carry On Luggage PC+ABS Aluminum Frame Zipperless Luggage Hard Shell Suitcase with TSA Lock Double Spinner Wheels for $150 Is Luggex or AnyZip comparable to Level 8... is it worth saving the $50 / $100? I was gonna buy the Level8 Hegent today but then saw the Luggex and AnyZip for cheaper. If it's a get what you pay for thing and the Level 8 is better I'll get the Level 8.

I tried the code several times but it isn’t working.
I REALLY like the looks of this sleek suitcase! I noticed immediately how smoothly the latches opened! Very nice! This one would be choice too!

Thanks for the info. I might have to go with their $700 one.

Thank you for this great review and the discount code. I just ordered it in gray for my son as a bday present. Can’t wait to gift it to him.
Sweet J!

Sorry to hear that Williams. I've taken this case on a few trips but haven't had those issues yet
Was this a checked bag ?
Detailed review Chris, nice one
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the measurments
Hi Chris. Thanks for the review. Very nice and durable case at a pretty reasonable price. Take care.
Thanks James!
purchased the suitcase and I'm very happy with it vs my Burlington coat factory suitcase lol
Awesome!
Thanks for the info + video!

Hi Stone -- Level 8 is a new brand so I think most people just don't know if it all that well. I think the quality is just as good
@@YellowProductions ... thanks
@@YellowProductions - thanks again.

Does your code only work on certain items at Level8? Tried using it when buying the Hegent and it says it’s not valid for the item.
I just put the Hegent in my cart and applied "Yellowproductions15" and it applied the discount. Maybe try again?
Did I miss your review of this bag's price? I went through the ending twice to see if I missed it and couldn't find it.
I think the price of $239 is very reasonable given the quality
You are in CO springs!? Im nearby!
I was when I made this review 😀
When you come to Denver for your next travel guide, always wanted to meet you Chris!
Great
That’s a very reasonable price for sure.
First!
