how do you see cabin vs cabin s for sizing these days? i have not travelled much in recent years - but want something that i will not have to worry will this fit e.t.c - if thats the case do you think i should go with cabin s just to be safe for nearly every event?
@anthorpology

I personally love the cabin s size, I find I don't ever sacrifice anything when packing! However, having the regular cabin size as well does leave that extra room if we need it which is nice! I was like you and wanted to be safe in all scenarios, especially now when checked luggage is going missing left-right-and centre! So I would get the cabin s! :D

The glossy carbonate is more durable. I've had both matte and glossy polycarbonate Rimowas and the matte cracked at the wheel casing and the wheel fell off. I've used the glossy more often and the suitcase is perfect. I attribute this to the better flexibility of the glossy version. The matte is more rigid and so more prone to cracks.

No No they will all fit in the overhead compartments on traditional aircraft, but on smaller aircraft the regular cabin sizes might not fit, in which case you would have to check them. Since I have the smallest size I normally just put it in the overhead without any issues! Depending on how you travel, you shouldn't have any issues with either the essential or aluminum!
