External reports concern historical samples. Current SKU equivalence remains unverified; this is not a CarryFacts hands-on test.
Reviewed sample: Thule · Subterra Carry-On 22″ · 800D nylon fabric; reviewed production revision unconfirmed · Carry-On 22″; 22″ is a nominal model label, not a measured capacity. Historical publisher sample only; current production equivalence, stock and individual fit remain unverified. A complete CarryFacts specification record is not yet linked.
Pangilinan reports a weight of about 7 pounds and says it fits in most, if not all, overhead bins. The clamshell layout divides belongings between two main compartments, while an internal ratcheting compression board separates contents and compresses clothing. The review also notes a zippered mesh divider and a removable compression-board pocket.
The principal compromise is sparse organization: Carryology says travelers seeking more pockets or compartments may be left lacking. There is no dedicated laptop compartment, though the piggyback loop can support a separate bag. Check: Pangilinan found the oversized wheels smooth over rough terrain but visually distracting, and preferred a four-wheel option.
