I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s worth spending a little extra on a good case. The tourister is easy to manoevre through an airport. With a little push it will just glide in front of you. I love it!
This is my second of the same as my old one lasted nearly 9 years and well over 200 flights before the baggage handlers broke a wheel and the zip lock – instead of repairing it, I’ve got the same one again and will have spare wheels from my old one if and when these go, but it’ll be sometime, I suspect.
Can’t argue with the build quality, great bit of kit!
This is the third one we’ve bought. Very study, have coped well with all the planes they’ve been chucked on. The other two were a lighter jade colour and unfortunately they have marked easily. Dark is probably better. I will get covers for them for future travel
OK. SO this may seem like a bad review – the case broke on its first outing. BUT this company is actually sensational. Thanks to their customer service agent, I sent the pictures (showing the case wasn’t badly treated of course – which is fair) and within 48 hours they shop me a new case. I mean honestly? Thats why I will buy cases from these guys again. AMAZING service.
Case arrived on time and was very well packaged. Good size for a 2 week trip, plenty of room. The locking system was good and easy instructions on how to change this – You Tube always helps too. Case is light and easy to manoeuvre with the wheels. Would recommend
Really lightweight suitcases – exactly what we were looking for. Even though they turned up well packaged in individual boxes 2 of the 4 we bought still had deformed fronts to them… they will still work fine, they just don’t look great until full of stuff to oucsh them back into shape. Worth the money though and will hopefully last a good while.
Very lightweight for a hard shell and moves brilliantly on the castors.
Lots of space for a good price.
I find the very distinct 2 halves of the case less flexible for use than what I am used to (ie a big case with a top rather than 2 halves that come together).
Plastic scratches quite easily.
I would recommend though
Size is great, way more space than I was expecting and the pockets inside are so useful for organising. The wheels are also pretty smooth, will have to see how they hold up though. It does feel heavier than I was expecting but I haven’t weighed it myself yet and my only downfall is the lock.. it’s a very strong lock which I admirebut.., the numbers have to be in such a specific place otherwise that very strong lock will keep you from getting to your stuff. I might buy a padlock instead but overall I really like this case 🙂
– Like the style and space.
– The lock is easy to use.
– There are multiple neat compartments.
– material lining the inside is smooth and feels good.
– Has straps to secure items / clothings down too.
– However, the shell feels a little thin, soft and easy to bend.
– Used it on a trip recently on the road and a little rocky walkways. The wheels still work fine.
– The pull along handle doesn’t seem to be of quality and the locking feels as though it will give way easily.
– The side handle works fine so far.
Needed a large suitcase for a seven day trip and of course old faithful in the loft turned out to be a ‘medium’. Panicked last minute and got this delivered well within the week before departure. I normally like to look at the product before purchase especially because this wasn’t cheap but I had little option because of the time restraints presented to me.
On arrival I inspected the case and it seemed lightweight and flexible ie: not rigid. Within the case were several zip up pockets. The main compartments has straps and one was with a complete zip up cover. Easily stored seven days clothes, in fact brought too much. Once fully packed and zipped up seemed a robust item.
Easy to pull along with casters and long extendable handle. Survived its first trip though a few scuff marks after being thrown around by baggage handlers and being on the conveyor belt when sorting. Fragile souvenirs inside were undamaged.
Lock was easy to set….do write your combination down!
Hope to have this for many years and may even buy another one for my wife. Okay, it is expensive but the old addage of you get what you pay for applies. So much easier then having a number of smaller bags whilst travelling. So far so good.
Arrived with small manufacturing fault that bypassed quality control but in fairness was hardly visible but to my hardy inspection.
Coloration of the case is perfect for the navy blue.
Lock mechanism is pretty standard at the moment and I can only advise that these are prone to damage.
Space at 91l is plentiful and certainly more than enough to last a busy week or relaxed two week stop off.
Zipper is strong and easy to use.
Telescopic handle has too much play and will I believe limit the life if not treated with ultimate respect.
Having inspected the case and comparing it to others I have or used it is worth the price paid which was 30% below its RRP. I would not however pay the RRP as I sincerely believe that to be overpriced.
Good value for the cases themselves, they are sturdy and have good internal organisation with straps, netting, integral pouches etc. Smooth rolling on 2 wheels or 4. However I strongly recommend against using the internal combination locks: they are cheap, fragile and prone to breakage. Got locked out of one of my cases by a faulty lock which is now totally jammed and the reset button won’t work. Managed to pry the zip pulls out of there quite easily, so it clearly wasn’t all that secure anyway. I’ll be happy to continue using the bags just without risking the locks on the others!
I have already been using the suitcase quite a bit and it has performed quite well. I move on a weekly basis and there is a fair amount of walking between the station and the hotel not to speak about using public transport in between. The wheels look quite well considering the amount of going around they have already taken and also the main body looks okay. Overtime it’s going to show more and more wear and tear but as of right now the suitcase is taking the process very well and like it is going to last for a good while.
The capacity is also very good. They say it’s a 1 week suitcase, my guess is that you can make it up to two weeks depending on the season. I managed to package a week and a half the first time without any issues and there were toiletries, hair dryer, an electric toothbrush along with walking boots inside in winter. So I’d say it’s a generous 1 week capacity. I was able to see the capacity for the 2 weeks one and in my opinion it would have been more than 2 weeks.
The hard case for the suitcase looks also very nice. The contents are not damaged inside and it protects them quite well. That said I have not used the suitcase on airports as the travelling I do is mostly by train, so I cannot say how it will deal with the kind of treatment suitcases get in there. As of now the exterior looks good and the contents inside have not been damaged.
Overall very pleased with the product, it’s performing very nicely and it’s exactly what I was looking for.
I have waited to post a review on here until I’d used this case a few times. I have now trolled about the world a bit with it and I am pleased to report that, so far, it lives up to its reputation. The main reason I wanted to buy it in the first place was that US customs had broken into my previous case and busted the padlock (this is an action customs are entitled to do and they left me an official note to say so!). However, this also meant any future padlocks I used with the previous case would also be busted so I sought an alternative. This model has one of the approved-by-US-and-other-customs combination locks which they (and, apparently, only they) have a gadget to override if required, and the lock would remain not only undamaged but locked for the remainder of its journey. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on which way you look at it, this has not been put to the test as I don’t believe my my luggage has been searched by customer since.
Having said all that, the case has been thrown about a fair bit and stilll looks almost untarnished, I also like the zipped internal compartment, although would like the other half of the case with a similar zip. Plus I love the colour and have decided to co-ordinate my hand luggage as well 🙂
