The Rockland London Carry-on Is Under $50 for Black Friday

The magic of Black Friday is finding a carry-on suitcase that will last you years, and it’s even sweeter if you get a high-quality bag for under $50. Reviewers say their Rockland London hardside spinner is still going strong after that long. It continues to hop curbs and glide over uneven sidewalks in foreign cities, endure being crammed into overhead bins, and thrown around by bag handlers. One person dropped it down an escalator. Another fell down a flight of stairs with it. And the suitcase survived with far less damage than their pride.

Right now, Amazon is offering 64 percent off this workhorse of a bag as part of its early Black Friday sale. That gives you time to test its durability yourself over the busiest holiday travel period of the year.

Rockland London Hardside Carry-on

Rockland luggage is some of the best-loved on Amazon, racking up thousands of perfect ratings on the cult-favorite Melbourne spinner (now 49 percent off) and this wheeled underseater, to name a few. The 20-inch London carry-on has a scratch- and dent-resistant textured ABS shell and clever bumper patches on the corners. One reviewer called it a “warrior on wheels.” “I recently took this carry-on baggage on an adventure to Vegas, and let me tell you, it deserves a standing ovation,” they said.

Despite its toughness, travelers say it’s surprisingly light — precisely 6.5 pounds — and easy to lift and maneuver. “I have multiple back issues that are agonizing, and this thing is lighter than my purse before [it’s] packed,” one said.

Inside, it has two large compartments separated by a mesh wall, plus a few smaller organizational pockets. It’s relatively basic in terms of design, but it can apparently hold everything needed for a week in Hawaii or a long weekend abroad. One reviewer said they can even fit two weeks’ worth of clothing in it. Plus, more than 4,000 people have given it five stars.

The suitcase comes in neutral colors, but the more standout hues — like bright orange, turquoise, magenta, and gray with orange details — make it easier to spot at baggage claim. The original price is $120, but early Black Friday sale amounts range from $44 to $58. Scroll for more early deals on highly rated carry-ons from Amazon.
