- This Hardshell Carry on luggage from Carl Friedrik reminds me of a bag a secret agent could use. Further it seems like a good alternative to a Rimowa case. This is an unboxing and firstlook of "The Carry-On" by Carl Friedrik. #Unboxing #Firstlook #Carryonbag

FULL DISCLOSURE:
This video is not sponsored nor did I receive any money. While I sometimes get bags for free, I have to pay custom fees, shipping fees and all my videos have lots of production costs (e.g. software and musicrights). Therefore I invest my own money into all of these videos and I have no intention to be biased towards a product or company. Every review and quicklook is written by me and no company can pay for preferential scheduling or what is said in the video. Furthermore, the company sees the video the same time as all viewers here on youtube. All opinions in this video are my own unless stated otherwise.
HOW I REVIEW:
As you might know from my „How I make a buying decision“ video: Rather than just looking at the pros, I like to evaluate the cons or flaws of an item and then evaluate if I can live with them. That is why in my video reviews I concentrate more on the cons of an item rather than going over all the features. Therefore everything shown is just a fraction of all the points that go into the verdict and score of an item.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A QUICKLOOK AND A REVIEW:
A Quicklook usually covers pre-production units or items that I only used for a short period of time. While Reviews cover final items that I have reviewed intensively.
LINKS:
For all my videos I decided not to include links for the products. Everyone is living in different countries and therefore has to deal with different shipping and customs fees. That is why I would advice everyone just to Google the product within their country to find the best deals. For instance: I live in Germany, It wouldn’t make sense to give you a German link while you might be living in USA or Asia. I hope that is understandable.

That rough texture surface is actually much better than smooth polycarbonate, It doesn't scuff or scratch nearly as much, and doesn't really accumulate dirt like you think it might...
In terms of looking good for the longest amount of time, it's basically the best way to go
I use those bigger bags like that as a laundry bag. Keep it in my roller, and the bag doubles as a nice shoe protector
Great ideas.
That's a good idea!
Very good idea. Thanks, William!
Great review, love the relaxed format. Thank you.
Thanks, Nicholas
Thanks. Really informative video. Quick question, does the handle extend longer than most bags? I’m 6’4” and prefer the longer handles.
I was so curious about this but I hated that anything I saw online was sponsored which made me a bit uneasy to take the review 100%. THank you for taking the time for reviewing it.
I haven't seen any other videos about it yet. I'm glad that you liked my video! thanks!
Great overview, Bo! Might have to trade in my Pelican luggage for this...
I usually put the cases back in the bags when not in use. They stay dust-free.
With a bag like this (i.e. that isn't used that much) it is probably a good idea to store it in this dust bag.
The soft bag is to keep dust off the case during storage.
Is the interior capacity the same as the Carry on Pro ?
what is the durability as of now after using it?
Hi bo ! can you do a review on the newly released Aer Daypack 2?
I haven't figured out to use the one that I have but it was included with the Black Embed Forge. I guess it's premium too but not a fashion bag. :)
True. I forgot that Aer and Blackember also have bags for the bags ;-)
I see that you have zippers on the halves to prevent stuff from falling out, but it looks like it isn't like that anymore?
A big plus I see is that the two pieces are not attached by zipper and cloth to hold it together. So this is an uncommon bag and I expect this would be more durable than the zipper type.
Well seen, Arthur. That is indeed a plus
It looks like now it 's just two open compartments?
The other thing about built in or included batteries is they're almost always subpar to one you'd choose yourself. It's also nuts that a bag that's going to be as expensive as this one doesn't ship with a usb c cable. Sheesh.
Good point about the battery banks. I realized that the micro usb cable is for charging the included powerbank.
If I have to use roller bags, I like the hard shell. Easier to store in a car without getting it lumpy.
I use the bags for storing items.
Good idea. Thanks
Can it be locked with a key?
@2.35, i think its called a dustbag haha
Thanks, mate.
Thanks for video, I'm doing a ton of reviews on luggage and they are an investment, so I want to make sure I know what I'm spending my money on for the long run. Carl Friedrik items are very stylish and from what it looks like durable. New follower here, thanks again.
Thank you very much for watching and subscribing. Really appreciate it ✌️ 😉
Any update? Considering buying one would like to know how it stood up :)
Unfortunately no update. Sorry. I still have not traveled yet 😔 the last time I traveled was 2019 before covid
Bummer, looks like the upper compartment isn't zippered anymore...you have to use compression straps which smaller items could fall out easier
They're called "dust covers."
Only issue with this bag is you cannot get one equipped with the battery in the US. Anyone figure out a work around?
It doesn’t come with the battery or the usb port is also omitted?
It's all about how durable the rolls are...
Very true!
I use the cover bags all the time, my Helmet came with one an my roller has one when I store them away I put them in the bag.
under 100 euros its plastic over 100 euros its polycarbonate. 😆
Good info, Donald. Thanks. It is Polycarbonate
Any updates? How has your bag held up after 2 years?
Cov d is a b**** unfortunately. I haven't traveled at all since the start of the pandemic. Therefore I wasn't able to use this bag. Sorry that I can't give you any more long-term use I for on this bag
I bought this and promptly returned it. It looks great, and overall the shell is decent. Love the latches. However, the dealbreaker for me was the fact the handle is probably the WORST i’ve ever seen on a roller bag. Seriously, it’s the same handle that the cheapest of the cheap rollers use. Way too much play, and it jiggles and wobbles terribly. Going back to all the reviews I watched, I noticed that not a single one mentioned the handle - arguably one of the most important pieces of a good roller, as it’s your constant touchpoint. Carl Friedrik support and return process is flawless. Interesting when I mentioned the wobbly handle as a reason, they didn’t bat an eyelash (no “oh, it could be defective” etc)… ie: They know where they cut corners. The moral of this story: Listen to what reviewers say, but pay attention to what they DON’T say. Rather than be negative, many just stay quiet on key things.
@@BananaChipzzz Thanks for this input, this was my #1 issue. The TH-cam channel, "Away Together w/ Nik and Allie" has a carry-on comparison and had the Monos as the best for handle rigidity and other features. I am/was deciding between Carl Freidrik, Monos, Travelpro, Briggs and Riley, even Samsonite, but your input has shorten my options now. I really like the look of it but function and quality needs to be priority. What other carry-on luggage do you have and recommend?
Has anyone forgot their lock combination? I recently forgot mine and don’t know how to reset it, can anyone help me?
No other way than going through all 1000 combos. 0-9 is 10 digits, and 3 numbers means 10*10*10 = 1000.
Use them as a laundry bag for clothes to carry to the wash in a hotel.
Good idea!
Why don’t suitcase manufacturers find a way to incorporate a handle but yet still leave a flat bottom.
Probably because of physics? The handle has to go somewhere, so it's either that or wasting valuable space around the handles.
Why would it even matter, it’s very simple to pack clothes to level the area . T shirts socks and underwear just as an idea.
Briggs and Riley figured that out a long time ago.
Too bad it doesn't look expandable
Yeah those bags that hold the bag when brand new, pretty much go to only two places the landfill or the ocean.... nobody uses them itshs....
Bro you can’t be making informational videos without knowing the information 😂
Which is why this is called a first look / impression. My first looks are intentionally "uninformed" to simulate if I would walk into a store and see an item for the first time. This basically also ensures to check if a product is easy to understand. Any item that you can grab and directly use IMHO is very well designed.
Thanks for watching ✌️😉
@@YouknowtheboLol people just see a thumbnail of a product and assume it’s an detailed review without reading the title. Great video thank you for posting!
It’s a damm dust cover, I can’t understand why no one seems to know that.
Cmon dude! learn a bit about the product before purchasing it! It’s a polycarbonate case with premium leather lining. It’s not plastic
Thanks for watching and your comment. This is not a review, this is a first look. And I intentionally do not inform myself about the product before doing a first impressions. I want to give you as a viewer an honest first impression as if you go into a store and check out a product that you "just buy". Plus I don't see a point of giving you a recap of what's on the website. But that's just how I approach my first impressions videos. Thanks again for your feedback and happy new year
@@Youknowthebo Kudos for a kind and civil response to a jerky agro keyboard warrior. I appreciate the review.
Thanks for flaming a guy doing a first impression review (as opposed to a complete breakdown of the product). I’m sure it’s gratifying to see your work met by angry judgy keyboard warriors typing mean comments while sitting on the can.
Why you are talking unnecessarily things
I like making videos. Thanks for watching my video anyways. TH-cam is full of good videos, I'm sure you will find a video that is more suitable to your liking ✌️😉
