Important Notes
Please note that this product does not include accessories such as packing cubes, TSA-approved locks, or warranty registration kits. Always confirm current airline carry-on dimension policies before departure, as measurements may vary slightly due to expansion or manufacturing tolerances. When using the expandable feature, avoid over-packing to maintain optimal wheel function and ensure the lid closes securely. For cleaning, gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not submerge in water.
