Ok, I haven't gone a trip with this suitcase yet put I can't wait to try it. I am crazy about researching items before I buy anything and I did a ton of research on suitcases in preparation for a trip I'll be taking later this year. The big hurdle was trying to find a suitcase set I wanted that fulfilled the picky requirements of Air France/ KLM airlines. Don't even get me started on their under-seat bag restrictions. I had to decide between hard side and soft side and chose soft side hoping it would be more pliable and not dent or crack like many hard-sided cases I read about in reviews. I like outside pockets that don't take up room from the interior room for clothes. I wanted a USB port, which this one has, and it's located in an exterior side pocket which I think can double as a water bottle pocket. It does not have the new TSA locks that zippers snap into but that was not a bid deal for me as I've always used my own TSA padlocks and they work fine. The extendable trolley handles seem a teeny bit flimsier than other suitcases I saw in stores but everything else seems so sturdy and well made. Note: the wheels spin very easily and smoothly but they seemed to struggle a bit when I rolled my suitcase from hardwood floor to a thick area rug. Once on the rug it rolled pretty well. I also bought the 25" case for longer trips and the carry-on bag has a strap that enables you to set it on the trolley handle of a larger case so you don't have to wheel two suitcases around. The interior is simple but well thought out with a wet bag and other compartments. This is ideal not just for swimsuits and really wet items but for those mornings when I have to pack up items I washed the night before that didn't quite dry thoroughly. There are little slots on either side of the main interior compartment that the tie-down straps slip into so they can stay out of the way while you're packing. Good thinking. The main compartment for the carry-on is deep and roomy. I will add to my review once I actually pack. I'm going to try to pack for two weeks abroad in just my carry-on and my under-seat bag but if that doesn't work I'll use the 25" case. I ordered the blue color which appears to be a medium deep royal blue but in person it's what I call a true dark teal, which I love. In different light it can look like green or blue. I wanted a color or style that doesn't shout out "A woman uses this bag!" (for protection...I don't want to be a target) The two brands it came down to were Travelpro and Samsonite. Both have very good guarantees. It was very hard to find a set from Travelpro that had everything I wanted and since I had loved my 30-year-old Samsonite cases I had gotten rid of last year, and the reviews were so good for the Solyte set, I went with Samsonite. The four stars are only because I haven't used them yet. I really hope to give them five stars in a later review.

I spent considerable money on a new piece of luggage and was excited for some of its features. Sadly, the primary feature that needs to work - namely the telescoping handle - does not work. When the bag is empty, the handle works beautifully. When the bag is full, it does not! Unfortunately, I didn’t learn this until after Amazon’s 30-day return policy expired. Apparently, it doesn’t matter if a product is defective. Amazon directed me to Samsonite’s warranty and Sansonite website as my only remedy. Samsonite’s options are worthless. I have to pay to deliver the luggage to them or deliver my luggage to them myself (time, gas, wear and tear on my car) to inspect it. It doesn’t matter that I’ve only owned the bag for 3 months. They may or may not be able to repair it. Since the handle works when the bag is empty, I doubt the repair man will identify a problem. I would then need to pay to have my luggage returned to me or pick it up myself. So, after using a bag three times in 3 months, the handle has never worked correctly and is inoperable when the bag is at capacity. My only resolution is to throw good money after bad in the hopes someone will make it right. I’m not optimistic. Costco would take a defective product back, and it wouldn’t cost me money or effort to do it. I will never buy luggage from Amazon again, and I will never buy Samsonite again. They clearly have lost the idea of quality and don’t understand how a warranty is meant to protect its users from defects.

Robust, thick material will last. Wheels roll very easy. Good zippers, lots of interior room. There are a few compartments for small items whixh is a nice feature. The usb port is a good idea because I'm always having to recharge my phone at the airport. 15" laptop fits with room to spare.

Great large luggage, works well for long extended trips!

Suitcase has the right amount of pockets and the wheels work great. Took it on an international flight, bus trip and a cruise. Held up well. Happy with my purchase. Hopefully will last for years.
