DESCRIPTION
Get 45L of packing space for 3-5 day trips in a larger 21" zipperless carry-on built for travelers who want more room without immediately checking a bag.
Best for
Long weekends, heavier packers, and travelers flying airlines with more generous carry-on allowances.
Before you buy
The 21" gives you more room than the standard 20", but its larger profile has more limited airline compatibility. Check your carrier's current carry-on dimensions before you fly.
Why the ZX Bigger 21 works when more room matters
Bring more without turning your suitcase into a puzzle
The 45L interior gives you room for extra outfits, another pair of shoes, and the things you usually have to leave behind. Compression and organized compartments help keep the extra space under control.
Choose more room when your airline allows it
The bigger 21" profile is useful when your carrier gives you more overhead space. It is a capacity-first choice, so the extra room comes with a little more responsibility to check the rules before boarding.
Keep a bigger case feeling easy to handle
The aluminum frame gives the case a structured feel, while shock-absorbing spinner wheels help make a fuller suitcase easier to steer. Dual TSA locks keep the main compartment closed without relying on a traditional zipper.
Good to know

The trade-offs
- The larger 21" profile has more limited airline compatibility.
- It may not be the best choice for international flights with stricter carry-on limits.
- The capacity is fixed and cannot be expanded.

Just completed a trip US to Germany to Madeira. Then Madeira to Lisbon to US. Our Luggex held up really well. Notice in one of my photos my luggage tag (brand new prior) shows more about what it went through than my Luggage reveals. Damage was minimal. Navigating through the airports was easy. My Luggex felt sturdy like you want your luggage to feel. Overall I’m very happy about my purchase. I bought two 21” ZX carryons and two 24” ZX check-ins. I did buy a ZX Pro carryon that I haven’t used yet. I look forward to experiencing traveling with it. I will likely continue to purchase from this line. While I didn’t have the ability to expand my luggage space, I like the zipperless feature. I really love the color of the deep navy blue and black trim. Very handsome. We chose to go with a variation of colors. If I decided to choose one color, I would have chosen the all
silver or the deep navy with black trim. For now, I’m enjoying exploring the different color choices. May do a deep green for a larger size.
My apartment has hardwood floors. Rolling this to the door doesn't wake up my roommate anymore. The suspension wheels are legit.
Love it! It?s a good size, it?s functional inside and it looks very sturdy and rolls very smoothly.
I love the carry-on but it's smaller then I thought. Am going to need a bigger one for long distance travel.
Thank you for your honest feedback, Steve! We’re glad you love your carry-on, though we’re sorry it felt smaller than you expected.
We understand wanting more packing space for longer trips. Please feel free to reach out—we’d be happy to help you find a larger suitcase that better suits those travel plans. Thank you for choosing LUGGEX!
super lightweight, solid construction, no zippers and seems to be bigger than my previous bag as advertised. first trip coming up, we will see how it performs.
Thank you, Andrew! We’re glad the solid feel, zipperless design, and extra packing space have made a good first impression. We hope you have a wonderful first trip with it and would love to hear how it works out once you’re back. Thanks for choosing LUGGEX!
Nothing to dislike. It’s built extremely well and looks phenomenal! Has a great amount of room for short trip!
I like what I see looks like an awesome suitcase inside now I will be using it when I go to Florida in California the month of November. I think it’s a good solid case that will last for a long time. Thank you very much. I love your product.
Very pleased!
Works well, survived a trip to Italy and back very handily. Time will tell how durable it is, but feels pretty high quality. I really like the color on it.
Love this luggage- super tough, sturdy wheels, strong handle, no zippers to worry about breaking, great color. My husband beats up his luggage with work travel, and he was impressed. 3 months in and it looks like new!
Great suitcase! Fit a ton of stuff in it and made it through Southwest gates for carryon without issue. Even w/ the biggest of Karens in Midway Chicago where my wifes bag (exast same size) but has a zipper was called out and checked.
I travel a lot, internationally, I have hard side suitcases, soft side suitcases, usually higher quality like TravelPro and I must say this is a GREAT Suitcase, rolls like a dream, love the no zipper hinge luggage!!! This thing is solid and a deal at this price for the quality…
Great look and feel time will tell when i pit it to use for my next traveling trip. The okive green is joy as vibrant as in the picture.
Thank you for your review. We're glad you like the look and feel, and we hope the olive green carry-on works beautifully on your next trip.
Bueno
Holding up to what a luggage should be as advertised so far…… the ease of pushing the Luggex with its 360 shock absorbing wheels on the fly was a breeze compared to what I was using before.
Love everything about this luggage!
Solid
Thank you for the review. We're glad the carry-on feels solid and appreciate your feedback.
Heavy duty, sealed and no zipper makes this luggage amazing.
I hadn’t thought about the last minute items i stick in a pocket or unzip the case and poke in. Missed that while packing for my first trip with it. I think it will be an easy enough adjustment and I’ll be happy with my first hard sided suitcase.
Thank you for the thoughtful review. We're glad the extra storage and easy-access spaces are useful for those last-minute travel items.
Lightweight, sturdy, amazing wheels, and stylish for 1/8th the cost of a comparable name-brand suitcase
We purchased two roller boards for a quick trip to Houston TX from San Diego CA. The luggage worked better then I'ed expected and was perfect.
So far I love how big it is it has so much room and definitely love how it looks.
I waited several months before purchasing. I also researched other brands and decided on the Luggex. I am very impressed and can't wait to use it. Well made, quiet rolling and looks stylish. I always wanted a non-zipper suitcase and this fits the bill. I will add another review with photos after my trip.
Very well built, just a little bit larger. I am a bigger fellow (thus my clothes are bigger) the extra bit of room helps.
Purchased the ZX 21" carry on. I fly 3 days a week and with a month in this case is holding up well. Actually have had 2 separate people ask me the brand while either in the terminal or on our way to pickup a rental car. The latches work well and the case feels much more sturdy than previous I've had. Highly recommend
Looked at Nobl for months. Couldn't justify the price for what you get. This has the same aluminum build at a fraction of the cost. Easy decision.
Same external dimensions but the hard shell design means I'm not losing space to fabric bunching. Packed for a week in this carry-on.
