TravelPro Crew 9 3 Piece Spinner Set
Buy from Amazon

The Crew 9 collection from Travelpro is its most popular collection of 2013. In addition to its business bags and rollaboard uprights and garment bags, it also includes 3 spinner uprights with suiters. These are now offered as a TravelPro Crew 9 3 Piece Spinner Set with one as a carry on plus two larger sized ones. This set is aimed at business travelers, but it would work well for a family too.

There are two patent-pending innovations on the Crew 9 spinners that make this set attractive. The PowerScope handle that is present on all the rollaboards and spinners is perhaps the strongest and sturdiest that you’ll come across and can even support heavy bags that are attached to make managing luggage easier. The Contour-grip on the handles of the spinners makes rolling or pulling the bags easy and comfortable. Both these features ensure almost zero wobble while on the move.

Since the Crew 9 line consists of many pieces including two-wheeled rollaboards, it’s easy to confuse what features are available in those and what is available on the spinners. To help you out, we have a precise review of the spinner set here.

    • All the bags include removable suiters with padded foam bars to keep the clothes wrinkle-free. The carry on bag’s suiter is a drop in, i.e. there is no hook or Velcro that attaches it to the inside of the bag. This can be remedied if you include your own hangers to hook inside the bag. The larger spinners have a fabric hook and side clips on the suiters to keep them in place.
