The Carry-On Suitcase I Never Travel Without Is $70 Off for Black Friday (It Has a Built-In Closet!)

With the holiday travel season approaching, you don’t want to add to the chaos by bringing along unreliable luggage. Fortunately, now is the perfect time to replace your current bag because retailers have begun their Black Friday deals, and one sale I’ve been looking forward to all year is Solgaard. The brand behind our senior shopping editor’s favorite carry-on is offering up to 40% off sitewide, including a major discount on the very product that she can’t stop raving about.

You can already tell from its name that the Carry-On Closet is not your average suitcase. Available in two sizes, the 20-by-13.5-inch medium version is great for international travel while the large 22.4-by-14.6-inch carry-on is good for domestic U.S. flights. As for capacity, the medium holds enough for 3-6 days, while the large Carry-On Closet stores enough for a week-long trip. Each comes with a shelving system for organized packing, as well as a compression strap to hold everything in place.

Once you get to your destination, the shelves expand, making everything inside accessible, so you don’t have to worry about unpacking to ensure that your clothes are neat and wrinkle-free. Along with the shelving system, the Carry-On Closet also has a spacious zipper compartment that’s perfect for smaller items like toiletries. On the outside, the suitcase boasts a durable polycarbonate shell and aluminum frame, which make it waterproof and scratch-resistant. It also has a TSA-approved, three-digit combination lock that you can set to your preference, as well as a built-in USB charging port.
