Hartmann

Ratio 2 Global Carry On Expandable Spinner

I bought this bag just before the pandemic and couldn’t travel till last month for three cross-country vacation and business trip, from New York to Germany, Switzerland and Africa and back.. it was excellent. It was a spontaneous purchase while on break from work, I took a spin into the store and there it was.. I always have eyes for durability and dependability and this bag has that quality better than my tumi that I Had for 17years. my only problem is that the tsa lock wasn’t in it and the garment back zipper has ripped as well. After my trip I got a small scuff mark on the handle and it annoyed me but other than that, this carry-on gets an A+

Usable space is surprisingly small, extension only cover the top part of the bag, bag is very “tippy” - prone to tipping over, suiter is very small. Wouldn’t purchase again.

The garment suiter was apparently made for a man no shoulders. I wear size 40, and there was no way a suit was going to fit in it. I travel with a suit or a sportcoat, so the suiter is a necessity for me. I can't imagine that the Harmann of yesteryear would have made such a miscalculation. Returned the bag. Unfortunate, because the Hartmann bag I am replacing lasted 25 years.

I hate to compare, but this bag crushes the Tumi International carry on. The balance, the handle, the weight, all far superior. I ordered both and sent the Tumi back…and it wasn’t a difficult decision.

The quality of Hartmann definitely makes a statement. Very pleased with my purchase. This is a nice piece of luggage at an excellent price!

Perfect carry-on size; appears to be quite well-made; the USB port is a convenient feature.

Excellent travel companion! Distinctive in appearance, yet functional in use. Very satisfied with this purchase!

Got this for my wife because I wanted my Victorinox WT20 back (she commandeered it for business travel). She heard that spinner wheels would make traveling through airports much easier. But I didn't think any bag would beat that old WT 20 in compact performance until my wife spinned her Ratio 2 Global for a four day work trip. Despite the heavier weight, which she noted right out of the box, her text to me was "Gamechanger" or "life changing" or something like that, and "you can't have it!" The Ratio 2 has decent capacity and is heavier but it helps with the spinner wheel system. Let's see how long it lasts. 4 stars for now.
