It was a great piece of luggage for walking through airport. Loved it!

This has plenty of pockets for organizing. We went round trip between Michigan and Arizona, it held up great. Couldnt be happier. Rolls easy too.

Pre-COVID I was traveling 2 out of 4 weeks a month, Around Trip 4 why was it such a struggle to navigate this bag? Well, over the course of my 3 prior trips the wheels originally ROUND were quickly becoming OBLONG. Replaced the wheels with a set i can describe as inline skates - SO EXCITED for Trip #5, bag practically navigated itself. Now cue up the disclaimer, I am NOT a rookie traveler, CARRY-ON or DIE is my motto My Trip 5 excitement derailed by wet clothes, hmmm how? when? why? @#$%$%#@$!#@ Crack, when did this happen? How did this happen to a CARRY-ON or DIE piece of luggage? Excess regrind in the manufacturing process? Frustrated with Samsonite and embarrassed that i had also bought the same bag, different color as a gift for another traveling family member. Now that we are nearing normalcy, its time for travel and im open to luggage suggestions????? Promise to share my results

For travel luggage, I generally prefer well known brands, because most important aspect (for me atleast) when considering luggage is durability. And well known brands have proven track record for that. However I am not greatly impressed with this specific bag. First lets discuss the good aspects of it. It is super light, which is great, because more weight for stuff. The hard material also feels tough, although a little plastic-y. The real reason for 3 star is the wheels. When lightly packed, the bag will do fine, however given its the large check-in size, it is expected to be packed at capacity. In this scenario, the wheels are not as fluid as they should be (and are in other brands). The wheels also feel low cheap quality and my guess is they will loose shape after a few trips.

Trip to a London with no issues,scratches or damage. One thing:make sure you air it out before you use it or everything will have a smell to it.

Seemed sturdy but upon the first use, one of the handles broke off when lifting it onto the belt at flight check in. Weight was only 43lbs at check in so it wasn’t over weight.

Good quality until baggage gets ahold of it

The product has good quality, durable materials that stand up well to travelling.
