FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the Thule Aion Carry On Spinner?
The dimensions are 35 cm in width, 23 cm in depth, and 55 cm in height.
Is the lock included with the suitcase?
No, the lock for securing the zipper sliders is sold separately.
How do I clean the waxed canvas exterior?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use mild soap and water, then rinse and air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Can the packing cubes be used as a standalone bag?
Yes, the removable compression packing cubes are designed to be used as a standalone day bag.
What is the warranty on this product?
Thule typically offers a limited lifetime warranty on their luggage. Please refer to the official Thule warranty documentation for specific details.
Is the material truly eco-friendly?
Yes, the exterior shell fabric, lining, and mesh are made from 100% recycled polyester. The polycarbonate back panel is made from 50% recycled content, and all Thule Aion products are Bluesign certified.
What does 'soft shell' mean for this luggage?
A soft shell means the luggage is constructed from flexible materials like fabric, rather than rigid panels. This often makes it lighter and more forgiving in tight spaces, though it may offer less impact protection than hard-shell luggage.
Will this carry-on fit on all airlines?
The suitcase is designed to meet most airline carry-on requirements, but it is always recommended to check the specific size and weight restrictions of your airline before flying.
Troubleshooting
Wheels are not rolling smoothly
Check the wheels for any embedded dirt, debris, or hair. Clean the wheels with a damp cloth and a soft brush if needed. Ensure they can spin freely.
Telescoping handle is stuck or difficult to extend/retract
Ensure there are no obstructions in the handle tubes. Extend and retract the handle fully several times. If the issue persists, inspect for damage. Avoid forcing the handle.
Zipper sliders are difficult to move
Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any snagged material. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant (pencil lead) or a zipper lubricant to the teeth if they feel stiff.
Water is seeping through the fabric
While the canvas is water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, consider using a waterproof cover. Ensure the water-resistant coating is intact; reapplication may be needed over time if wear is significant.
Packing cubes do not fit well or are hard to zip
Ensure the packing cubes are not overstuffed. Compress items evenly within the cube before closing. Adjust the positioning inside the main compartment for a snug fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Constructed from 100% recycled materials, including Bluesign certified fabrics.
- Removable packing cubes offer versatile storage and can function as a day bag.
- Durable, water-resistant waxed canvas exterior is easy to clean.
- Excellent maneuverability over various surfaces due to large rear wheels.
- Meets most carry-on size restrictions for air travel.
- Integrated security features like lockable zipper sliders.
Cons
- TSA-approved lock is not included and must be purchased separately.
- While durable, the soft shell construction may offer less protection than hard-shell alternatives for very fragile items.
- Weight of 3.25 kg might be a consideration for strict airline weight limits.
- The 35L capacity might be insufficient for longer trips without careful packing.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Thule Aion Carry On Spinner requires minimal setup. Simply extend the V-tube telescoping handle for pulling and ensure all zippers are functioning smoothly. The removable packing cubes can be inserted into the main compartment as needed.
Compatibility: This carry-on is designed to meet the size restrictions of most airlines. It is compatible with standard luggage security locks that can loop through the zipper sliders.
Care:
- Exterior: Wipe the waxed canvas exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt or stains, use mild soap and water, then rinse and air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Interior: The main compartment lining and the removable packing cubes can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. The TPU coating on the cubes is particularly easy to clean. Ensure all parts are thoroughly dried before storage.
- Wheels and Handle: Periodically check the wheels for debris and clean them if necessary. Extend and retract the telescoping handle to ensure smooth operation. Lubrication is generally not required but can be applied sparingly to the handle mechanism if stiffness occurs.
