Samsonite Paralux Global Carry-On Spinner

Beautiful but broke quickly

I did a ton of research before purchasing and really wanted to love this suitcase but unfortunately I'll be returning it. PROS: The topside functionality makes packing easier, the suitcase looks luxe, and the included compression pad and compartments are practical. CONS: I found the handle a bit wobbly (not terrible though), but most importantly, I took this suitcase on a 3 day business trip (2 flights) and the front panel had already cracked by the time I got it home. The front pocket is softer than the rest of the hardshell suitcase to allow it to bend open for easy access. Unfortunately this means the material can bend and (apparently) break if pressure is applied. It is also about an inch wider than KLM and other European airlines' carry on limits, which I would have been willing to risk, but since it broke so quickly I'm going to opt for a sturdier suitcase that fits the airline requirements.

Perfect Size for Int'l travel and smart design

Really well made carry on perfectly sized for travel on European Airlines. Cool features and the spinner wheels roll smoothly.

Just as advertised

Package was delivered in pristine condition and wrapping. Looked better in real life than it did in pictures. I got the best price for this luggage via Voyage. Tracking was excellent.
