Crafted with strong 100% recycled waxed canvas, this 35L carry-on is designed to withstand the rigors of travel. Its oversized rear wheels are built to roll over tough terrain, while the recessed front wheels maximize internal space. The suitcase features removable packing cubes that optimize storage and can be used as a standalone day bag. These compression packing cubes have an easy-to-clean TPU coating that effectively traps dirt, odors, and moisture, making them ideal for separating used gym clothes or outdoor gear. The exterior zippered pocket provides quick access to essentials like keys and wallets, and an interior mesh pocket keeps items organized and secure within the main compartment. A ruggedly sculpted polycarbonate back panel offers shock absorption during transport. For added security, the zipper sliders can lock together (lock sold separately). This carry-on meets most airline requirements. The exterior shell fabric, lining, and mesh are all made from 100% recycled polyester, derived from PET bottles, and the polycarbonate back panel contains 50% recycled content. The 600D waterproof waxed canvas shell fabric is highly durable, and its water-resistant coating, free of harmful PFCs, effectively repels moisture, dirt, and stains. All Thule Aion products are Bluesign certified. Dimensions: 35 x 23 x 55 cm, Weight: 3.25 kg, Capacity: 35 L. Features include a TPU lining that repels odors, moisture, and dirt, and a removable compression packing cube for daypack use. Large rear wheels ensure smooth rolling over rough terrain, while a smaller front wheel maximizes internal volume. The patented V-tube telescoping handle provides a smooth, lightweight pull. A convenient front pocket is ideal for storing jackets and other items on the go.
The Thule Aion Carry On Spinner is designed for adults seeking a durable and versatile 35L carry-on suitcase for both work and adventure. Its key benefit is the robust construction using 100% recycled waxed canvas and a removable, easy-to-clean compression packing cube that doubles as a day bag. A potential caveat for some travelers is its weight of 3.25 kg, which is on the heavier side for a carry-on.

Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to close or open
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth and try again.
Telescoping handle is stuck
Check for any obstructions in the handle mechanism. Gently try to wiggle the handle while extending or retracting it. If debris is present, try to clear it with a soft brush.
Wheels are not rolling smoothly
Inspect the wheels for any dirt, hair, or debris that may be obstructing them. Clean the wheels with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution if necessary. Ensure they spin freely.
Packing cube liner is stained or smells
Wipe the TPU-lined cube with a damp cloth and mild soap. For odors, allow the cube to air out in a well-ventilated area. Ensure it is completely dry before packing clean items.
Suitcase appears misshapen
Soft-shell luggage may naturally conform to its contents. If it has been stored compressed, filling it with soft items like blankets or towels and letting it sit can help it regain its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Thule Aion Carry On Spinner is ready for travel straight out of the box. Ensure all zippers are fully functional and familiarize yourself with the telescoping handle and wheel operation.
Compatibility:
Airline Carry-On: This 35L suitcase is designed to meet the carry-on size requirements of most major airlines. However, it is always recommended to check with your specific airline for their most current regulations.
Packing: Compatible with standard packing cubes and organizers, though it includes its own specialized compression packing cube.
Care Instructions:
Exterior (Waxed Canvas): For general cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, use mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Interior (TPU Lining): The TPU lining of the packing cube is easy to clean. Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is dry before storing to prevent mildew.
Wheels and Handles: Periodically check wheels for debris and clean them if necessary. Wipe down the telescoping handle with a damp cloth.
Storage: Store the suitcase in a cool, dry place. To maintain its shape, consider storing it upright or with similar luggage.
Water Resistance: While the waxed canvas is water-resistant, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may eventually lead to moisture penetration. Do not submerge the product.
