3. July Carry-On Light: Best Lightweight Carry-On Suitcase
At just 3.9 lbs, July’s Carry-On Light prides itself on being the lightest double-wheel suitcase on the market. This is definitely my favorite lightweight carry-on luggage, as it hits all of my preference boxes: it’s super lightweight, has smooth 360-degree double spinner wheels, 32L of packing capacity, and a stylish exterior.
All of the materials used to craft this ultra lightweight luggage—the German polycarbonate shell, YKK Zippers, water-resistant and stain-proof nylon lining, PVC hinges and trimmings, and wheels—are vegan friendly and extremely high-quality. As one of the lightest carry-on bags on the market, you may expect the materials to be flimsier, but they really do pass the durability test.

Quality wheels are a non-negotiable for me when searching for lightweight carry-on luggage. Wheels typically weigh down luggage, so when I heard that July claimed to have the lightest double-wheel suitcase, I was interested to learn more.
July luggage has SilentMove Series 2 double spinner wheels that are covered under their extensive lifetime warranty. They glide seamlessly, prevent loud rolling noise, and weigh next to nothing—a rarity for double spinner wheels.
If you’re looking for one of the lightest suitcases out there that will fit all your belongings for a weekend trip in a piece of carry-on luggage, I highly recommend July. As far as carry-on luggage goes, this is the lightest one that still maintains its packing capacity, durability, and design.
