Monos Carry-On
Monos
The Monos Carry-On features a telescopic handle, plus lots of zippered pockets and compartments and an easy-to-use lock. It offers an ultra-strong polycarbonate hard shell exterior and a TSA-approved locking system. Monos boasts a 100-day trial period and lifetime warranty.
This carry-on is more compact than the other carry-on I own. It measures 22 inches by 14 inches by 9 inches. I tend to go on a lot of short weekend trips, and this size was great for me for my recent four-day vacation. I like that it’s smaller and lightweight, as that makes it easier to roll and lift into an overhead bin or the car.
Why we like the Monos carry-on:
- Monos Carry-Ons are made with aerospace-grade, water-resistant polycarbonate hard shells for enhanced durability.
- The carry-on fits in the overhead bin on most airlines and is easy to store in my car trunk for road trips.
- The 360-degree spinner wheels provide a smooth glide.
- It’s available in 13 colors.
Monos Carry-On Plus
Monos
The Monos Carry-On Plus offers all of the benefits of the standard carry-on but in a larger size. It measures 23 inches by 15 inches by 9.5 inches, giving you extra space to pack for longer trips. Even at its larger size, this suitcase still fits in the overhead bin on most major airlines. Though Monos does advise that it may need to be checked on smaller planes.
“I bought the larger carry on in black and it’s a sleek, stylish, good-looking suitcase. It rolls smoothly and spins easily, the handle is solid and you can pack quite a lot in there if you use it well,” a reviewer on the Monos website shares.
Choose from 13 carry-on color and print options.
Why we like the Monos Carry-On Plus:
- The Carry-On Plus fits more than the standard carry-on, making it better for longer trips.
- It’s made with a dent-resistant, impact-friendly polycarbonate shell.
- It can fit inside of Monos’ checked bags for easy storage.
Monos Carry-On Pro
Monos
Business travelers may prefer the Pro model of the Monos Carry-On, as it offers a padded pocket to protect computers and other gadgets. The pocket fits laptops up to 16 inches, and protects the laptop with the same aerospace-grade polycarbonate that is used for the rest of the suitcase.
The Monos Carry-On Pro measures 22 inches by 14 inches by 9 inches and weighs 7.8 pounds. It can hold enough for a two to five-day trip.
“I really liked the overall feel and design of my Carry-On Pro,” says a reviewer. “Smooth and glided around with ease. I love the outer pocket for convenience.”
Why we like the Monos Carry-On Pro:
- It keeps laptops safe with a dedicated pocket and strong materials.
- Like all Monos Carry-Ons, it includes a TSA-approved lock for extra security.
- It can be purchased in a bundle set with other Monos products for extra savings.
Monos Check-In Large
Monos
The Monos Check-In Large is the checked version of the Monos carry-on piece above. It comes in 10 colors and prints. Price varies by color. Monos’ smaller suitcases can nest inside it when you’re not traveling.
“The bag has the largest size in its category. Despite that, it feels light and looks classy. I am also impressed with its durability and the way it rolls,” a reviewer on Monos’ website shares.
Why we like the Monos Check-in Large suitcase:
- It offers a spacious interior for your items.

The duffle’s main compartment includes a zippered pocket, laptop sleeve and a water bottle pocket along with plenty of storage space. It also has two external pockets and a trolley sleeve that can connect to your luggage handle.
Why we like the Monos Metro carry-all duffle:
- It’s easy to carry with top handles or the padded shoulder strap.
- The duffle includes two exterior pockets for extra storage space.
- It works well as a standalone weekend bag or a personal item for longer trips.
Monos Metro tote bag

Like the rest of the Monos Metro collection, it’s made with Monos’ vegan leather. I’m a big fan of Monos’ vegan leather products because they look beautiful and are super easy to clean. Plus, they offer the appearance and texture of leather while providing a cruelty-free alternative.

- It features zippered interior pockets for easy organization.

A Georgia county’s emergency call center was overwhelmed by calls on Sept. 4 about a school shooting at Apalachee High School that killed four people and wounded nine others, records released Friday by Barrow County show.
Local news organizations report many of the 911 phone calls were not released under public record requests because state law exempts from release calls recording the voice of someone younger than 18 years old. That exemption would cover calls from most of the 1,900 students at the school in Winder, northeast of Atlanta.
Calls spiked around 10:20 a.m., when authorities have said that 14-year-old suspect Colt Gray began shooting. Many calls were answered with an automated message saying there was a “high call volume,” WAGA-TV reported.
One man called 911 after receiving text messages from a girlfriend. He was put on hold for just over 10 minutes because of an influx of calls at the time of the shooting, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
“She hears people yelling outside, so I don’t know if that’s officers in the building or that’s — I don’t know,” he said, adding that she was eventually evacuated out of the school.
Other adults also called 911 after their children contacted them.
“My daughter calling me crying. Somebody go ‘boom, boom, boom, boom,'” one mother said. The 911 operator responded: “Ma’am we have officers out there, OK?”
Parents of students at an elementary school and middle school neighboring Apalachee also flooded 911 seeking information.
“Sir, my daughter goes to school next door to Apalachee. Is there a school shooter?” one caller asked.
“We do have an active situation (at) Apalachee High School right now,” the operator responded. “We have a lot of calls coming in.”
More than 500 radio messages between emergency personnel were also released Friday.
“Active shooter!” an officer yells in one audio clip while speaking with a dispatcher, CNN reported. Another officer responds, “Correct. We have an active shooter at Apalachee High School.”
The shooting killed teachers Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Cristina Irimie, 53, as well as students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14. Another teacher and eight more students were wounded, with seven of those hit by gunfire.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation reported Thursday that the suspect rode the school bus on the day of the shooting with the assault-style rifle concealed in his backpack.
He then asked a teacher for permission to go to the front office to speak with someone, and when he received it, he was allowed to take his backpack with him, GBI said. He then went to a restroom, where he hid, and then eventually took out the weapon and started shooting, investigators said. A knife was also found on him when he was arrested.
According to investigators, the suspect enrolled at Apalachee High on Aug. 14, and between Aug. 14 and the day of the shooting, he was absent for nine days of school.
The family told CBS News that the suspect’s maternal grandmother had visited the school the day before the massacre to discuss the suspect’s alleged behavioral issues.
The suspect has been charged as an adult with four counts of murder, and District Attorney Brad Smith has said more charges are likely to be filed against him in connection with the wounded. Authorities have also charged his father, 54-year-old Colin Gray, alleging that he gave his son access to the gun when he knew or should have known that the teen was a danger to himself and others.
The 13,000 students at Barrow County’s other schools returned to class Tuesday. The 1,900 students who attend Apalachee are supposed to start returning the week of Sept. 23, officials said Friday.
