Samsonite Solyte DLX Softside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels

Toller Handgepäckkoffer, hervorragend verarbeitet, ich finde ihn jedoch vergleichsweise schwer, deshalb retourniert. Die Aufteilung und vielen Fächer sind ein Pluspunkt, definitiv empfehlenswert, wen das Gewicht nicht stört. Der Koffer kam aus England, was nicht angegeben war. Daher wahrscheinlich teurer wegen Zoll als wenn von einem EU-Lager aus versendet wird.

Werp good luggage

First off, I am a frequent world traveler with my older version of this roller bag. It's gone from the Antarctica to the Arctic to Canada to Alaska and finally to Colombia, South Amer. just this year. My roller bag is critical to me because I rarely check bags, for many obvious reasons. The old roller Samsonite bag still works, but I thought that because it's simply "old" that maybe it was time to get the new version. To see "frequent returns" of the new bag feels very unfair: I ordered the new bag and it is definitely an improvement from the old one in a number of areas-primarily in adding more zip compartments (it is also a beautifully designed and very lightweight bag. So, my only gripe is that it's SMALLER by maybe 10-15% compared to my current Samsonite roller bag. Every inch matters to me. But, that said, if you are traveling in Europe and in other areas you may find that the smaller size will get you into the plane wherein the larger bag will be rejected as a carry on. Again, I totally recommend this bag, just recognize that it is smaller than the older model by maybe 10-15% percent. this is admittedly a beautiful, well crafted, and light roll-on luggage for carry on to planes. That said I returned it, because my current, older Samsonite roller bag has a noticeably bigger interior space. I believe that Samsonite is paying attention to so many airlines that are becoming notoriously tight in which bags they accept, and especially, smaller airlines in Europe now make it very difficult to get luggage onboard. But, so far, my current Samsonite roller bag (the same. but older version of this bag), is working for me. I would have kept this bag but for it's decreased size, so I reluctantly returned it. By the way, I never buy hard shell bags because they are much more difficult to get into overhead bins and have less flexibility when stuffing items, also they are heavier :).

Received the product and, as expected of Samsonite, it appears to be made very well. The wheels are smooth to roll. The primary selling point for me was the “Stack It” feature whereby it can be stacked horizontally onto another carry-on bag. I typically travel with two carry-on’s and two checked bags and this will make it so much easier wheeling the carry-ones through the terminal! There are only two minor negatives I have with the bag. - First, although the overall height and width are virtually identical to my other carry-on… the actual body is a tad shorter and the wheels sit taller…. meaning there is a bit less baggage space for packing items. - Second, the built-in usb socket is USB-A and not USB-C. This is t really an issue at all but it might be worth knowing. A simple solution is simply to get a USB-A to USB-C charging.cable for those to want to use it. Personally, I don’t see myself using it.

I got this because it has the strap on the back, which allows you to attach it to another bag. I already had the business carryon from the same brand. I didn't want to check something gigantic, but wanted to bring a bit more luggage. I'm very satisfied with how these two bags combine, it feels like it will be very manageable in the airport and give me a little more packing space for longer trips. It is an inch or so smaller than my other carryon in length, which I am not concerned about overmuch in this situation. However, if you are one of those "stuff everything in my carryon and don't check anything" types, you may want to go for the slightly larger carryon. Personally I am pretty happy with the size as my slightly larger carryon always feels a bit over the airline limit and like it will just barely fit in the overhead bin. The inner pockets all seem pretty reasonable. It is a fairly simple, no frills bag, without some of the bells and whistles such as USB that other bags have. Overall it seems like a good value. If any problems with wear and tear I will update the review.
