Nomatic Carry-On Classic

The Carry-On Classic is Nomatic's hard-shell 30 litre case, built to the smallest overhead bins rather than to the generous ones. The shell is polycarbonate, the wheels are Hinomoto 360 degree spinners that run quiet on terminal floors, and the trolley handle is three-stage aluminium so tall and short travellers both get a usable height.

Inside, the packing system is the difference: magnetic compression straps plus a folding compression panel squeeze three to five days of clothes into a case that still closes. TSA-locking YKK zippers secure it, and a luggage tag and the folding compression panel are in the box. Exterior is polycarbonate and nylon, interior nylon and polyester.
