Overview

Kenneth Cole Reaction Out of Bounds is an affordable hard-body carry-on that offers a better quality than most of its competition in its price range. Because of this, it is at the top of the scoreboard when it comes to value for the money. If you are on a tight budget, Kenneth Cole Reaction Out of Bounds carry-on is a great way to go. 

Exterior Design

The exterior hard-body is made mostly of high quality ABS plastics that are sturdy and durable enough to survive your average airport experience. There are four wheels on the bottom of this carry-on, similar to its larger counterpart the Kenneth Cole Reaction Out of Bounds Suitcase. The telescopic handle makes moving this carry-on around an effortless task. There are also two more regular handles, on top of the case and one on the side. Kenneth Cole Reaction Out of Bounds carry-on sports corner guards and skid guards which definitely prolong its lifespan. 

Interior Design

Once you open it, you will find two storage compartments, the primary and secondary one. The primary storage compartment uses elastic straps to hold your belongings in place while it also sports two pockets, one at the bottom of the case and on on the side. The secondary storage compartment is separated by a nylon membrane which is also the material used to line this carry-on. Although it's a practical layout for a suitcase, this type of interior is not the best solution for carry-on applications. 

Specifications

  • 8.5" x 20" x 12.6"
  • 95% ABS
  • Four wheel design
  • Top and side handles for easier handling

Conclusion

Kenneth Cole Reaction Out of Bounds carry-on offers the best value for the money, especially for a hard-body carry-on. It's functional enough despite its interior that is more suitable for full sized suitcases than carry-ons. The fact it has four wheels makes all the difference, especially if you pack heavy and have to move quickly from gate to gate. It is reinforced by skid guards and corner guards, something you rarely see in this price range. Overall it's a well built carry-on that offers all the right features for not a lot of money.
