Has anyone used Luhxe carry-on bags?

In their ads they say there's room for 10 outfits in the bag. What with all the hassle traveling now, I just want to avoid checking in a bag and then waiting at the luggage carousel.

It’s called the Bigger Carry On Flex. It’s a 22” suitcase with an expansion thingy.

Regular, regular flex, larger carryon, and larger carryon flex. Their stuff is super high quality and very durable.

You might fit everything into your suitcase, but if the weight is over a certain amount, the airline charges you extra anyway.

all my needs into a carry-on and a backpack. Needless to say, I'll do a trail packing. Unfortunately I'll need a lot of cold/cool weather clothing.

What bothers in is that the airlines don't really adhere to their size limits. I've seem many carry-ons and backpacks that should have been checked, which leaves overhead space limited, hence people have to leave their luggage at the door.
