Coscto Luggage Comparison: Travelpro "Aerownd" vs Kirkland 22" Spinner

So I am in the market for a new carryon, and narrowed it down to 3 bags:
1) Kirkland Signature Softside 22" 2 Wheel Carry-On
2) Travelpro Aerowind Softside 22" 2 Wheel Carry-On
3) Kirkland Signature Softside 22" Spinner Carry-On

Unfortunately, my local Costco does not have the Kirkland 22" 2 wheel carryon in stock, so I was only able to compare the Travelpro with the Kirkland Spinner. However, I will use the online details to compare Kirkland's 2wheeler with the Travelpro.

Height - both bags are exactly the same, especially if you measure from wheel to the top of the bag.
Depth - the travelpro is just a fraction smaller than the kirkland
Width - About the same
Volume - Travelpro wins, with 3087 cubic inch compared to Kirkland's 2686
Zippers - Same, although I did like how much larger the zipper grips were on the Travelpro
Handles - Nicer on the Travelpro with leather accenting. The Kirland handles were rubber, not necessarily a bad thing since they were quite grippy
Wheels - This was the toughest to gauge, and I would argue it is a tie. Both bags were silky smooth, and glided easily along the floor. A better comparison would be to compare the 2wheeler of each bag.
Extras: Kirkland comes with an RFID protector as well as laundry bag. Travelpro comes with a built-in dedicated suiter, removable luggage hook, and plastic pouch.

Cost: $99 for both, although Costco currently has a promotion in which you get $20 off the Kirkland (good until 12/24).

Due to the same external size and same cost, I went with the Travelpro, mainly because I wanted more space and a dedicated suiter. In addition, I felt the removable luggage hook and plastic pouch are far more useful than Kirkland's laundry bag and RFID protector.

I took pics, however, I cannot upload until I have more posts. I will update this thread when I can. Thanks for reading!




It's clear that the Travelpro has more space. In addition, the travelpro has a built in garment bag with padding, whereas the Kirkland does not. In addition, the travelpro also has a plastic pouch where toiletries can be stashed without worry of leakage onto clothes, as well as a mesh bag on the opposite side. The Kirkland does have mesh tie down panels.
