Monos
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- But Away and Monos are fine.
- I own both Samsonite and Monos carry-on bags. Samsonite bags cost < 1/2 what the Monos cost, and are just as nice so much better value.
- Monos, excellent quality
- Out of the 3, monos is the best imo
- Love my Monos bags. Have several sizes. They have held up really well over time.
Cons
- On YouTube, people claim Away and Monos are the best, but then I come to Reddit and everyone is saying it's the worst and all the hype around it is just advertising.
- The Monos bag has no appreciable quality difference compared to the Samsonites for 1/2 the price.
- Parent context: Thank you! Just checked all the sites and sadly Away and Monos don't ship to Germany.. Reply: That’s unfortunate. Good luck with your search
- I have the Monos. It looks nice. Harder to pack compared to the soft sided carryon to me.
- They look way cheaper and more plasticky in person. (I own one). Perfectly nice bag and no real complaints except that it's dramatically overpriced.
