What are the Carry-On Pro’s dimensions, weight, and capacity?
The Carry-On Pro measures 22 x 14 x 9 inches, including its wheels and fixed handles. Its listed capacity is 36 liters, and the product page lists the weight as 7.80 pounds (3.54 kg).
Can the front compartment hold a 16-inch laptop?
Yes. The rigid front compartment is designed to fit and protect a laptop up to 16 inches. It also has interior pockets for tablets or magazines and a zippered pouch for a phone, passport, and other small travel items.
How should the Carry-On Pro be cleaned and stored?
Wipe the shell and interior with a soft, damp cloth, warm water, and mild soap. For persistent marks, Monos recommends the included eco-friendly eraser. Let the suitcase air dry completely and store it in the included dust bag when it is not in use.
Does the Carry-On Pro have built-in travel security?
The main suitcase has a TSA-accepted combination lock. The front compartment uses a lockable YKK zipper, which can be secured with a separate lock supplied by the owner.
What does the Monos Lifetime Warranty cover?
The Lifetime Warranty covers the craftsmanship and core functional parts, including the telescopic handle, TSA-accepted lock, and 360-degree wheels, when they stop working as intended through normal use. Optional coverage is available separately for some travel-related damage.
Can the Carry-On Pro be nested for storage?
Yes. Monos says the Carry-On Pro can nest inside its Check-In luggage sizes when it is not being used, providing a way to store the cases together rather than separately.
