Girl the struggle was too real! 😂😂 The levels you go through to bring us these reviews are unmatched!

Hands down the best luggage review I have ever seen! Thank you for showing real world situations. I have and do own the July checked plus, checked trunk and their carry on. My issue with July is that the checked suitcases shell keep cracking around the wheels. The handle mounts of the first one broke as well. However, July has absolutely phenomenal customer support and backs their products. They have the best customer support I have ever dealt with. Each time they were extremely responsive and had me a new suitcase in just a few days. They have replaced the checked plus twice. Then, I paid to upgrade the second replacement to the trunk in hopes it wouldn't crack like the other two. Then the shell of the trunk started cracking around the wheel mounts as well. I didn't do a warranty replacement because the airline totaled the bag on my last trip before I had a chance to do a warranty claim again. They did far more damage than just the cracked shell. Someone had to have slammed it pretty hard. It wouldn't have been right of me to claim it with the airline and then warranty as well. I think I like the Plus better though. On the trunk, I don't like the one side that uses clips instead of a zipper for the divider. Some people might like that if they over pack though. It just doesn't work for me. I am considering going to the Monos trunk. It is a difficult decision because July really does back their products so well. I just wish they would do better reinforcing around the wheel mounts. Anywho! Thanks for doing such a wonderful review!

I hope you know how helpful and excellent your in depth reviews and comparisons are. The most comprehensive I've seen. Keep up the great work and thank you.

Lovely review. Just what I was looking for. I was between these two carry-ons to replace my ancient, awful one for a trip at the end of March. I think your review has helped me to choose Monos! (Though I really wish they offered more colors.)

I was planning on buying either cases because I was intrigued with the zipper less. However I do tend to over pack and you have helped to decide to go with the expendables😅

This was a very helpful comparison video. I think Monos would be my pick due to price point and the inside space configuration.

Thank you for doing July luggage reviews. I don’t see that many and your reviews have always been helpful.

I would worry about the luggage popping open when its over packed. This is a great video, thank you.

Great video and I got excited(I’m a nerd) when u overpacked and went in for the kill to close each lol. I have the Monos hybrid trunk checked piece and the combination lock dials on the latches are tough to turn. It irks me each time I use the bag. You didn’t mention in your review so I’m not sure if this is a Monos trait or if I should reach out to them to inquire. Ty for your insight!

This was a really good review. You're very good at this and thorough. Please keep making reviews

I recently purchased the Monos Hybrid carryon also in champagne. It’s beautiful and haven’t traveled with it yet. Traveling to the Paris Olympics this summer and hoping this will be my only piece of luggage🤞.

Thank you for this review. I was deciding between Monos and July but after watching this video, I have decided to buy July.

Great review. Both cases are great and I would love to have either one of them. It is a tough call, it is difficult to decide between them. One thing I appreciate about both is the "no zippers to break into for a suitcase contents thief" feature. The overpacking scenario, although dramatic, was very realistic of what happens to people coming home from vacation with unintended purchases. It seems like suitcases are tending to go retro in design these days with hard sided and no zipper trunks. For many years it was all about the soft-sided fabric and light weight features. These remind me of the suitcases of old before the Travelpro wheelie bag was invented. I wonder where we will be in 5 years in terms of luggage? Thanks Lauren for another comprehensive review.

Great review! I think you scared me out of overpacking, LOL! I don’t think you can go wrong with either one. However, I am loving my new Monos carry on so would probably stay with the Monos brand. Thanks for doing these videos!

I have the Monos and love it. So far, no scratches and I'm not the only one using it for travel. If I didn't already have the Monos, I still would buy it. The July is lovely but the price is too steep for a few extra inches of space. Thanks for the comparison. Great job!

I have the monos carry on plus and fell in love with it more on my current trip where I overpacked and still got it to close. The amount of flex in the polycarbonate shell combined with the compression is amazing. Not to mention, monos looks way more lux than July’s trunk imo. While I do like July’s light carry on options, monos wins in the hybrid category for me hands down

Great comparison! I wonder if releasing the clasps simultaneously when opening the over stuffed ones would avoid it getting stuck on one side.

I’m wanting to get a set of the minis but have to wait for it to go on sell. Definitely the hybrid collection

Thank you so much for this detailed review! I ended up going with July's Trunk set. I prefer the locks - they appear simple. The outer shell also looks and feels more solid, and I fell for the dark brown colour - it looks like chocolate bars! I wish Monos would be more adventurous with their colours. I hope I enjoy my purchase! Thanks again, and you have got a new subscriber! ☺
