Drifter Carry On 35L

This is an awesome carry on or you can use as a checked bag. It fit perfectly in the airplane’s overhead compartment. I love the styling. I fit my whole wardrobe for a week in Hawaii.

Disappointed

I purchased the suitcase with the expectation that it would live up to the Sitka brand. When you spend this kind of money on a suitcase, you expect to get a quality product. Everything seemed great until I extended the handle. There is an extreme amount of play in. It feels very cheap and not well made.

Wobblie handle

Everything seems solid but the handle in particular has a ton of play. Time will tell. . . .

Smooth and roomy

Pulls really well. The top really expands to hold more things. The top handle is metal with real helps picking it up and moving it around. Love the outer pockets.

Favorite Carry-on Bag

This is the best carry-on bag I’ve used. The top pocket is perfect to put your small items in going thru TSA and very convenient. I also like that the main compartment is one large space that can be used with different packing cubes or just use the straps to cinch everything down. It’s my goto travel bag.

Very tough long living bag

Had this original bag for well over 10 years and it went everywhere with me. Held up extremely well. . and eventually met its demise. . With the new ones I just miss having a bag with that pop of orange handle and brighter colors, it helped it stand out in the airport.

100 Flights and Counting

I have done right around 100 flights with this bag now and it has been amazing. Traveling every other week I have gone through many carrier on bags. This one has stopped the need to by another one! Only problem I have had is it tips over easily. When packing put the heavy item low in the bottom. Haven’t found an overhead it doesn’t fit in yet. I highly recommend

Perfect size & heavy duty for any trip

I’ve owned one of the same size from back when Sitka first sold luggage. I’ve taken it all over the world and it’s still in great shape. I bought this one because I liked the color and now my Son will continue using my original bag.
