New Kirkland/Costco 22in SoftSide 2-wheel
 
For those of you waiting for a new Kirkland 22in Carry-on that is NOT a spinner, Costco just listed their new suitcase here: https://www.costco.com/Kirkland-Sign...100368877.html

It's $99.99 + $9.99 Shipping, weighs 8.8lbs and includes a built in (non-removable) suiter, RFID pockets and a laundry bag. It also includes a 10 year warranty plus Costco's no hassle return policy. While it's not a B&R, I've always had good luck with Costco suitcases.

A legend! i expect these new ones will be as durable as the previous ones.

May have to see if these are in store to check out in person now...

I just called a local store and the said the SKU/Item number shows online only so I placed an order and will just eat the $10 shipping.

Just ordered this. Will report back.

If it's anything like their previous ones then this thing will go for years...

Dang... got my BR already, or I'd get one

You may be able to get one overseas that fits international requirements like the one from previous generation I saw in Taiwan

Any news on the size of this version versus the last?

Admiral - did you receive it?

Love my old (2015 model year) bag! Still going strong, so don't see the need to upgrade... Just wish these were part of a larger family of bags!

I have one of the older 2 wheel version that the handle has been sticking badly for the last year or so. I bought one of the 4 wheel models, and it's ok for my 4 year kid (who likes to lay on top of it and roll from one side of the room to the other), but a little small for me.

I think I'll be taking back the sticking handle one as soon as I get back to the US. Hopefully they still have them.

The wheels look nice on this one.

No in-store sighting yet, at least for me (North East USA).

I have one from early 2000’s, like the first photo here

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/14913391-post1.html

So durable, outlasted 3 or more of my other luggages in the meantime, despite the fact that I used the Costco one the most often (by a long shot)! However, it is a tad bigger and much heavier than I would like. So...

Same here.

If the two wheeler shows up in store, I may pick one up as a back up/higher capacity/expandable option and finally retire my 15+ year old one. But still not convinced myself that I want to retire the still-working bag (had the same “argument” with myself for the last few iterations!).

It's not the same Kirkland bag that they sold just a few months ago. I have one of those. At least in the pictures, the wheels look cheaper / flimsier. The rest of the bag is definitely not the same.

No idea if the new one is as good as the old one (which was a steal of a deal), but it's definitely not the same bag.

AdmiralAdama Oct 8, 2017 1:57 pm

I have received it. I love it! It's everything you need and nothing you don't. Sensible but with all the bells and whistles. The Toyota Avalon of carry ons. I carried it on internationally on my first try. Expandable! Great. But, I never saw the older model, and I'm a bit of a newbie with all this. YMMV.
