Incredible case… Incredible case…. Love that it doesn’t have the traditional “clam style” center hinges. For years this has been my biggest challenge with my other 2 aluminum body cases. Oh and it’s lighter with exquisite leather trim. Beautiful product. I always get questioned about my case when I travel.

If you have the money to spend and… If you have the money to spend and you're in the market for a luggage- this is the one! The quality is superb, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. SP's support team is also very friendly. :-)

Best constructed piece of luggage... I have ever owned. I must admit I am a high end luggage purchaser. Tumi, Rimowa, Montblanc and up until now Porsche Design was my number 1. Well that has just changed. Sterling Pacific is at the top of the mountain now and I purchased the 80L piece as well. I have never seen construction like this and hope they will expand their line as well. Kudos to you SP for redefining the luggage space.

This is the nearly-perfect carry-on… This is the nearly-perfect carry-on piece. When I have the luxury, I very much prefer buy-it-for-life investments in something I'll use indefinitely rather than contributing to a disposable culture. Yes, it is remarkably expensive. But I should need to buy one except this once. I travel extensively for work - one to two flights per week. Nearly all of these are regional flights on small aircraft. I used to be sold on the virtual of one-bag travel. Now I'm becoming convinced that two bags is the way to go. All clothing, shoes, etc. go into the suitcase. On small aircraft, it's going to get gate/valet checked. That's where the bombproof nature of the luggage comes in. The second bag is my personal item, which is a tote. That leads to the one improvement I'd like to see added to this case: a J-hook. Many other top-tier manufacturers build on in for piggy-backing another bag, and it would be a great addition here. I bought one that attached to the handle and confirmed with the good folks at Sterling Pacific that such weight would not damage the handle. It won't. My office goes in my tote, backpack, whatever and hangs from the J-hook. The lower center of gravity creates incredible balance, and I can roll the pair with a single finger. Placing the other item on top, as some do, distributes the weight incorrectly, in my view. This is why a two-wheeled design is better than a spinner with four. This is the only suitcase I could find with an aluminum wheel housing and trolley handle garage. It didn't make sense to me to make the investment and then still have plastic parts external and waiting to be broken or fail. The craftsmanship is stunning. The fit and finish are the best I've seen. The seal is complete. It's a joy to use and has become my trusted travel companion. It will be scratched and dented with time, and those are the elements of patina that I enjoy. It is carefully crafted, well-maintained, and used as intended.

The Sterling Pacific 35L two wheel… The Sterling Pacific 35L two wheel carry-on is singularly the best carry-on luggage made. I have flown about 1,600,000 miles to over 30 countries, and have had luggage from Rimowa to Samsonite and everything in between. The SP 35L Will fit into the overhead bin of nearly every regional aircraft you can find, will not deform like other hard shell aluminum cases while rolling over cobblestone streets in Europe, is easier to pack and unpack being a trunk design instead of a clamshell design (takes up less space when loading/unloading), and rolls behind me with ease (far easier than I thought it'd be). Its construction is also incredibly robust. I expect to be handing this off to my kids someday. Beyond pure function, it's also luxurious. I always smile when I see it, and the leather work is top notch. Lastly, the customer service from Sterling Pacific is exceptional. I don't worry about a thing when traveling should I need to have something repaired or replaced. Looking forward to decades of use!
