Near best carry-on: Improve these two
Excellent carry-on with one of the best designs out there. Two tweaks would make it unbeatable: (1) the waxed finish shows wear quickly—it scuffs easily and attracts dust and looks fatigued with lots of scratches. An unwaxed, more durable fabric (similar to the Bellroy Tokyo Messenger Bag) would keep it looking fresh for a long time. (2) add a full-width top-front zip pocket for passports, wallet, and small meds; the current side-zip doesn’t organize these well - it could be hard to add such a pocket but I guess it's not impossible. With those changes, this carry-on would be best-in-class.

Nice carry on bag
This Thule carry on spinner is pretty basic, which I like. With the elimination of extra pockets and pouches ,Thule has maximized the internal space for the things that matter, clothes, shoes and other necessities. The desert sand color is cool yet unique, it will be easy to spot in crowded, overhead bins awash in a sea of similar shaped black bags. This carry on bag is pricey, like all Thule products, but with a lifetime warranty, it’s hard to go wrong. The bag is going on it’s maiden voyage in a couple of days, fingers crossed it meets my expectations. I’ll update my review upon my return.

Perfect carry on
I needed an upgrade for my carry on and I wanted to complete my Thule set. The Aion fits the bill for as I travel for work half the year so I needed something that can keep up and be reliable. I have to travel with work boots so the front compartment is perfect for size 12 boots with no issues. Plenty of depth on the other side for a work week trip. Wheels are smooth and so is the pulley action. Like some have noted if you swing it around and the front wheels are turned in it will tip forward with a bag on top but not terrible just an awareness. Highly recommend.

Super high quality
We bought this for a trip after our last carry-on had a wheel break during a trip and we had to drag or carry it the rest of the way. I don’t think we will have this issue with the Thule Aion, all of the materials appear to be super high quality and I like the included compression packing cube.

Questions…
After 30 minutes of trying to unlatch the clasps that hold the “shoe bag,” I’m happy that I didn’t slice my hand off while using a blunt object to click open the latch. Can’t use it while traveling since I’m not confident it will open. Ugh! The 22” soft side weighs 6.2 lbs empty so my initial carryon attempt will be interesting next week. Bought this item off of Thule’s brand recognition.

Response from thule-us-ca
Hello, Thank you for providing your feedback on the Thule Aion suitcase. I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you had with the shoe bag. If you need support in the future please contact Thule's customer service team. Thanks for reaching out!
Decent bag but some kinks in design
I bought this and have travelled with this on one international trip. The bag arrived alittle dirty. The front wheels are a little small so the bag falls over on the front occasionally. The small multipurpose bag (shoe bag etc) straps on abit awarkly to the bag, I find it abit difficult to pop in and out of the joints so I don’t use the bag.

Tough as nails!
Bought the Aion in the dark moss colour so it would stand out, just returned from a holiday in Japan, walking over cobble streets, snow, numerous busses and train rides, this carry on 4 wheeler exceeded expectations, smooth rolling wheels and built to last, highly recommend this suitcase to anyone with carry on in mind looking to walk many miles!!

Makes traveling easier
I went from backpack luggage to all wheel rolling luggage and it makes a world of difference for running through the hectic airports. So far it’s traveled with me from LAX to Boston, New Hampshire and Maine. It’s held up to my abuse so far.
