What monos carry on are you interested in? Let’s talk about it!
Lauren, I will say that I truly appreciate your honest reviews as since I often click on Monos ads I get a lot of Monos adverts on Instagram and TH-cam.
Your honest reviews compared to emo models immobile, not smiling, not as explorers but almost as corpses..... you actually travel with your luggage!! Yay! 🎉😅❤
I hope Monos takes your suggestion about an expandable bag and a lighter weight bag. I've been waiting for other brands to release lighter weight luggage to compete with the July Carry-on Light. (Or I wish that July would add a side handle on their Light and Light Expandable.) Thanks for all your reviews, Lauren! ❤
Big fan! Terrific video. I too love Monos. I did have the PRO and ended up selling it. I found I kept scratching the area around the zipper on the front pocket . When zipping open and closed. Plus I found if I out anything in there , it seriously ate up space on the inside. I had the Plus and sold it as it did not work internationally. So now I have the regular carry on. And just got the hybrid. Just returned from a trip to California where I packed my Monos Carry on so full that I had to sit on it to close it! No bulging. Zipper was good. Still glided perfectly. Super impressed. Have yet to travel with the Hybrid..but is sooo boujee! So rich looking. Love the latches. BTW- Monos Luggage covers are top quality. I always use the cover. Keeps my bags looking brand new.
I have the original carry on and love it how the wheels slide smoothly and how light it is. We've flown internationally and managed to pack enough for a 2 week vacation. I would love a hybrid down the road.
The Monos Hybrid is stunning!
I agree!
I love the original and the hybrid. Toronto is going to open an actual Monos store, once they do, I’m getting one for sure! Can’t wait! Great video as always Lauren, greetings from TO🤓
Ooh I’ll meet you there!
Great video! It answered all my questions! I usually travel domestically and opted for the Monos Hybrid Plus in Champagne. Keep up the good work!
Glad it was helpful!
Great comparison video Lauren! I have the Pro that I will be using for my upcoming trip to Italy.
I so want an expandable Monos!
Me too 😭😭
I so needed this video! I've been going back and forth between the carry on and the carry on plus, but couldn't decide. After watching this, I'm more likely going to go with the carry-on plus. You are the best when it comes to luggage reviews!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for a very informative video! Always love to hear from a seasoned, travel professional. My brain is leaning toward the Carry on Plus.
Glad it was helpful! 🥰
Thank you for this great review! Getting ready for a 3-week European trip and I'm only bringing a backpack and a carry-on. After a lot of research, I bought the Monos Pro, Monos Hybrid, and July Pro to see which one I liked best. My fav is the Monos Hybrid and that's the one I want to keep, but I'm a little uncertain if that'll be big enough. I would just get the Hybrid Plus, but worry that I won't be able to use it as a carry-on piece (flying business class on Singapore Airlines). So now I''m considering getting the July Carry-on Trunk to see if that might be a smidge bigger (?). Any suggestions?
Btw, I'm a new subscriber to your channel, but have watched most of your reviews already...love, love, love your videos! You bring such a smile to my face with everything you do during your reviews...thank you! :)
I have a set of Monos luggage and I love it. The carry on's can fit so much in them. I bought this luggage because of your recommendations and I'm so glad that I did.
I’m so glad to hear that!
I am getting ready to use my hybrid carry-on in champagne at the end of the month, thanks for the great videos helping me decide which Monos I wanted.
Awesome! Have a great trip! Let me know how you liked it!
Thank you so much for this video. I've been doing so much research and was 99% sure I was going to buy the pro version with the extra pocket outside but this has changed my mind to go with the regular carry on :)
Glad I could help!
Love Monos after hearing all your past reviews. Used my carry on for the first time this spring. It was PACKED coming home and it did affect the handle. It wouldn’t extend all the way. Had to go back in and repack a bit. Then it was fine.
Good to know!
Where are these colors available? I don’t see the first blue one online. I love the pro plus.
Miss Lauren, my sister and I are your biggest fans. We love every one of your videos. Much love from Africa
Thank you so much! Where in Africa?! My favorite continent! I’ll come visit :)
* My sister and I are literally jumping for joy*
We're from Uganda
@TyraPhyllis awesome! My friends and I will be coming there in 2025 (hopefully!) for a gorilla trek!
@@ItsTheKellys we would be so honoured to have you visit our country. Words can't describe how happy you've made us. We love you soooooo much!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@TyraPhyllis are you on Instagram? Message me and we can keep in touch!

I chose to prepare storm margaritas during the pro minutes. No interest in that odd door that just takes up space and clutters IMO.
Hybrid trunk would be my first choice and then the basic carry-on in any base color would be my second choice.
Actually I'm looking at the July case again! I prefer the clam set up as well which is why i was considering Monos. The extra space for packing that July offers is great...I just want to be sure that i won't have to check it in and that the wheels hold up on cobblestone. Idon't know where I will see if you respond to my comments but I'm hoping you can suggest a personal bag that will meet the International sizing. I'm having a hard time finding one that is the right size as well as having antitheft features. I look forward to your suggestions and answers !!!
Great video! I love Monos! This video makes me question if I need their packing cubes? Or are all packing cubes pretty much the same. I do have a few brands like Tripped Travel.
All that luggage in the background….love 😊❤
I have the carryon plus and the medium checked. They are the best!
I am personally not a fan of their cubes. I like regular packing cubes better!
I have a Monos Pro bag. It's served me well for a long time and I'm happy with it. However, on some recent flights with a budget airline they had everyone put their bags in the sizers at the gate. If you maximize your space on the inside AND use the outer pocket, the outer pocket pushes out juuuust barely enough that it won't fit into the sizer anymore (it was a a Canadian budget airline, I expect they have the same sizers as Frontier or Spirit). I'm considering getting a second carryon w/o the pocket to use on budget airlines in the future, bc losing all that space to the pocket and then needing to keep it empty stings.
I’m sorry that happened. I love the idea, but it doesn’t always seem practical!
You are the reason I purchased the Hybrid. I absolutely love it! I'm thinking about adding the Hybrid Plus. Have you had more trouble with that one getting gate checked?
The hybrid plus I showed in this video is brand new! We will be taking it on a trip in May though (domestic) and will do an update. It’s going to be a polycarbonate vs aluminum luggage video and traveling with them both
@@ItsTheKellys can't wait!
I’m interested in Monos but was wondering if you have done a review of the MVST bag
I have not yet, but I’ve been in contact with MVST.
I love all the Monos carry on comparison. I keep debating if all my clothes would fit on the hybrid as it is a bit smaller than the regular. Said that, does the hybrid plus, not counting the foot and the locker would be the same size as the regular? Would you believe that would be allowed on all flights?
Anything “plus” won’t fit on all flights. The hybrid regular size and the carry on regular size are almost the same, but the carry on is a tad wider, and a tad shorter when it comes to packing space
Hello! Just subscribed to your channel. I’ve been enjoying your videos very much 😊
Have you ever considered any of the Delsey carryon bags? Would love to see how they compare to the Level 8, Monos, July, etc. I’m planning on getting a new international size carryon, but there are so many and some are very expensive…will need to buy more than 1, actually 4 total for my 2 sons and husband. We are planning a Mediterranean cruise for next year. Any advice is welcome ❤
I’ve tried reaching out to Delsey several times with no answer. The only pro of Delsey that I know of is the zipper that you cannot break into. Otherwise I dislike the inside a lot.
Oh, thanks, I didn’t know about the zipper feature, but I agree with you on the inside as there’s no compression panel. It’s just that the great red fabric in the inside gets me 😂
What is the color of the first carry-on ?
In all your travels have you found a real difference in what airlines will accept, namely between the carryon and carryon plus sizes for international travel?
On my recent trip back from Australia, I had the July carryon trunk. Although I didn’t have a size problem, they did limit me on weight. Loved it!
However, I was considering a hybrid plus as an alternative to my Away aluminum bigger carryon for international travel (for weight), but I wondered if the plus was more likely to get gate checked on an international flight due to size, as I like the plus size better. Thoughts?
The plus will almost always get checked for an international flight. They look so huge compared to European luggage (which is even smaller than 22 x 14 x 9)
Air France laughed at me when I tried to carry on a “plus size” A few years ago!
Can you compare the regular monos carry on to the Heyes bag (not lightweight) for packing space. While expansion is great for returning from trips I’m trying to decide if the better compression of monos = the same capacity as the unexpanded heyes bag or if I would still have some more room.
We are flying air Canada to Rome and I’m trying to be carry on only. As a historic vb over packer this is challenging, so I’m looking to maximize space on the trip out.
You would have the same amount of room in a heys bag, but no compression. They would be about the same weight too
I love my Monos. I just wish they would come out with non-compressing packing cubes that fit the height of the bag.
Agreed. I just use others usually!
I’m curious if you have the front pocket but don’t put anything in it, do you gain any of that internal space back? I don’t necessarily always need a front pocket but I like to have it as an option.
If the front pocket is empty, you still lose about a 1/2-1 inch.
I was wondering this too. Thanks.
I Am curious ti know how well can your pull out the handle with so much stuff compressed on that aside of the luggage …. I had to return My carry in poor because of that
I plan on making a video about that, due to a lot of people saying that. I’ve tested all 7 so many times, even overpacked, old and new suitcases.
While packing all of these, even the new ones, they have still been great. I just kept it out of the video because it was so long already.
Is the zip top bag that the luggage tag comes in compliant with tsa liquids limit?
I would think so, but it seems a little skinny depth wise. You may be better with a typical quart size bag
hi do you have your monos code? thanks so much!
They don’t do the codes anymore unfortunately. But the good news is, they almost always have sales every month, and my 5% off code wasn’t helpful with the sale, so hopefully you find an awesome deal then!
Sorry is not about monos but will like to know which is your favorite crossbody please!
Are you looking for a crossbody purse or a belt bag?
@@ItsTheKellys crossbody
Is there a promo code?
We don’t have promo codes anymore, but they go on sale a lot, and our code didn’t work with sales anyway, so hopefully what you want is included in their current sale!
I have the regular carry on and bigger hybrid in champagne. I love the hybrid so much and have gotten tons of compliments but the biggest downside - the weight.
I never thought two pounds made a difference but it does if you’ve packed it to the brim (2 week vacay in carry on only) and have to take parking shuttles, shuttles from gate to plane, going down stairs to your gate when there’s no elevator (I’m looking at you MNL airport), etc.
Because of this, I’m considering a lightweight bag either from July or Heys. It may not be as fancy looking, but as the one in charge of carrying the bags for two people, I’m strongly considering it. I’ll keep my hybrid for shorter, domestic trips.
The July lite is pretty small. If you want something light in the same size, the quince or heys are just over 5 pounds!
I love you Lauren
I have a Monos carry on pro and when I put packing cubes on the side where the telescoping handle is the handle won’t go up and down. It’s so frustrating! I love it otherwise. Anyone have any solutions for that?
I have a Carry On Pro Plus and ran into the same issue though for me it was overpacking. Maybe try putting shoes on the handle side and cubes/clothes etc on the compression pad side. Cheers!
@@stevielive Yes I’ve had to always keep packing cubes on the other side now. But that’s the side with the pocket so it’s really shallow. I wouldn’t buy another Monos due to this issue. It’s really disappointing.
I’ve heard a lot of people talk about this, and I did film the test of the handles fully packed, even though I didn’t put it in the video (due to length time) and they were fine! I was really trying to investigate the type of packing one has to do to have the issue, and I have yet to figure it out, but I hope to soon
I haven't had that issue either. I have both hybrid Carryons and both hybrid checked bags.
