INTRODUCTION
As a frequent traveler, developing a habit of only using one carry-on bag is a necessary skill one must acquire to maintain your sanity. I say this with kindness. Traveling is stressful. Frequent traveling is even more taxing , traveling for work or pleasure. Using a TSA approved carry-on suitcase instead of checking a bag removes one more step on your journey, not to mention precious time. Using Gusitu 20″ Aluminum Carry On Luggage provided to me by Clothlink has been a pleasant surprise. I’ll tell you why.
FIRST IMPRESSION
This suitcase is light as a feather. I never used and aluminum suitcase before, and this was an absolute surprise. Gone are the days of heavy luggage and contents. Yay!
EXTERIOR
From the very first time you open you box you get the impression everything about this luggage is high end. It arrives with a protective cover as you see with very high end luggage brands. It is also vacuum sealed with plastic to protect your precious cargo.
Note: It is a bit tricky removing the plastic covering at first, but it gets easier as you go along. Static cling is evident after the plastic comes off. A little static guard on a light cloth, and a quick wipe and it is instantly gone.
The Gusitu 20″ Aluminum Carry On Luggage has a sleek high end design with outstanding durability: Made of 100% Polycarbonate exterior, this luggage is durable and lightweight. This luggage is great for the daily, weekends, short business air trips, and even a 7 day vacation. Hard to believe, but yes you can carry all you need for a vacation in one carry on, and another small bag like a back pack. I do it all the time.
If you happen to get a scratch at some point, included with your luggage is a cute paper filled with stickers to cover the inevitable scratch if you wish to use them. Hey, even the best and most expensive luggage gets the occasional scratch, dent ,or ding. Why not make the best of it?
Sturdy Handles and Snap Closures
Security and Locks
You will find directions and information inside a mesh pocket inside the interior compartment for the security locks. This suitcase is made with an embedded aluminum, and ultra protective frame made of durable Polycarbonate with TSA Approved lock, which can be recognized around the world, and easily opened during security checks to avoid damage to your luggage. Plus. Plus.
In addition, it only takes seconds to unlatch the bag for quick removal of an item, if needed. A quick snap and lock you are on your way. No more fumbling with zippers and pockets to gain access to the interior contents.
INTERIOR
Thickened high density polyester interior is durable, soft, and tear-resistant. The cross-straps secures the contents of the suitcase that may move around during transport and help decrease the dreaded wrinkles upon unpacking. In addition, the case also has a flexible intermediate floor with two separate net compartments. This is a great topper to the main compartment. Two side by side compartment toppers are the perfect size to store smaller items for travel. They easily come off and on to use as you unpack. Personally, I keep them in the drawers and use them as drawer organizers for items I need during my travels. They are great for undergarments, socks, small electronics, and just about anything you do not want left behind because you misplaced the item.
DOUBLE SPINNER WHEELS
Four double lightweight sturdy spinner wheels ensure 360 Degree effortless mobility in any direction. The wheels are quiet, roll with very little effort and remove any tilt that can cause added weight avoiding any strain on your arm. The bag moves smoothly over uneven surfaces, and no tipping. Traditional wheeled luggage always tips when turning, or changing from floor to carpet. Has this happened to you? So frustrating, especially when you are in a little bit of a hurry in a packed airport.
I am so in love with the spinner wheels, I will not purchase another luggage item without them.
Final Words
If you are looking for a TSA approved carry on aluminum bag that is high quality without breaking the bank, you have found your bag. As a frequent traveler, luggage is a costly investment. Finding a quality piece to continuously use is difficult, especially on a budget. This bag did not disappoint in look, feel, performance, durability, and the price point is great. Using this bag has convinced me you do not have to break the bank to get a travel bag to last.
Happy Travels.

I love the sleek look of this suitcase. There seems to be so much storage as well, we’ve been looking to purchase a new suitcase. I’ll have to check this one out.
I love it. I packed for a 3 week vacation using this bag and a back pack. 😊
Nice tip on the static guard. I have wondered how this kind of luggage would hold up versus cloth which always breaks so quickly (wear, tear and zippers!). I like that they added the stickers for scratches, that’s fun.
I could use one of these. I am tired of dragging my bags around, I want a rolling suitcase like this one.
I hear ya’ once you have a luggage with these wheels, you will never go back again. Sooooomuch easier.
I’ve been thinking of buying such a luggage for my long distance travels. It’s very convenient to use it and I love the idea of aluminium, as it’s much better than my previous luggage. Thanks to your review I think I’ll finally buy it. 🙂
I think you will be pleased. so far, it has served me far better than expected.
This suitcase sounds amazing! I do not travel that often but as a fashion blogger who needs to carry loads of clothes around, i could use one of these!
I think to would be perfect for carrying clothes for your blog 😊
What a wonderful looking suitcase you have featured. I am always on the lookout for better pieces of luggage.
Thank you. I really love it. 😊
We are considering switching to a hard shell luggage because luggage really gets abused when traveling. I really like this one a lot. Thanks for sharing.
Travelling light is the essential part of travelling….looks like a great suggestion..
Thank you
You are welcome. 😊
I always buy my bags with the wheels. The suitcase looks wonderful. Specially liked it’s sleek look.
Gotta have the wheels. The spinner wheels are awesome. No more tilting. Love it!
This is exactly what I need! I have lightweight checked luggage suitcases but no light weight carry ons. I feel this suitcase really would have helped on my most recent trip to India. I flew a budget airline because it was so cheap but was limited to 7kgs for my carry on
I honestly think, packed, this suitcase would weigh in at 7 kg. Unless you are carrying a lot of heavy items. But 15 pounds or so, no problem.
Oh, this is very timely, our luggage is already on the verge of giving up! Loving its looks sleek design!
Wow!Now this is what we call a luxurious travel bag!It’s so great and well-made especially the hard exterior and the comfortable interior. I love this!
It really is.
I love this gusitu luggage review. Really good in appearance, seems secure and easy to handle. Its color is also so cool and shinny.
Thank You 😊
This luggage looks gorgeous! The style and security features are amazing.
It really is!
This luggage looks awesome! I haven’t flown in 6 years since we travel the states in our house on wheel but when we begin flying abroad I will look into this luggage ty for sharing!
I’ll have to check this suitcase out. I love the cool sleek look.
This is pretty nice and sleek! I just wonder about the flexibility. I mean airport personnel can sometimes be very mean, throwing luggage around like sacks. 🙁
I have not had this experience since this luggage is designed specifically for carry on, I would not use this as a check bag.
