Rockland Melbourne Hardside 3 Piece Expandable Spinner Wheel Luggage Set, (20"/24"/28"), Red

**Update: we’ve had this luggage 5 full years and travel ALOT for work. It’s still in great shape! The wheels work great and you can pack them full no problem! We use the smallest one for carry-on and the little zip up flap inside, to hold the clothes in when you zip it up, has come apart from the zipper. We have a very small crack in the outside plastic of the very largest bag due to the airlines handling the bags( however, we rarely use this bag as it’s so big it’s hard to fill it up and keep it under 50lbs. The two smaller bags we use most often) I feel like for luggage, this is great use. I’m looking at buying more to replace some of our other brands that are not holding up. ** Love this luggage! I usually over pack by a ton and was surprised how much I could fit in these! I only had to take one bag- and not even the biggest one! the shell seems like good quality- it isn't super hard but it's hard enough. They even have handy little compartments! The wheels roll very smooth- the only issue I have is that the handles are not real sturdy-I worry about them breaking before anything else. Other than that- I love them. I know some people were complaining about the smell but mine only had a slight smell when I opened them and that went away within minutes.

I paid $135 including taxes for a set of three in the same shade of green as my company logo. I like that I can brand them. They really stand out at the airport baggage claim. They came with locks that are good enough to keep honest people honest. Full disclosure, I forgot the combo and easily broke in with my bare hands. These cases are VERY roomy. The zippered compartment really makes it easy to maximize the use of space. I had no trouble with and of the zippers, which are well stitched, and the fabric is strong. Plus, the cases are light weight, so you really have wiggle room with the weight restrictions for flights. The wheels and telescopic handles all seem well designed, and sturdily built. Moving through airports, on ships, through streets was all easy for me. I could easily manage two suitcases and a backpack (fastened to the handle of one suitcase) by myself with this set because of how the wheels move. Listen. This set will not last forever. It arrived slightly bruised, and isn't the strongest material I've ever seen. It'll probably survive 10-15 trips, depending on how brutal the airport staff are. But at the price? $135 for a set of 3? Chose your favorite color and make the purchase.

We bought this set 2 years ago. Have checked them in on flights and cruises. Some scratches after the flights, but wheels and cases are all intact. We love the sizes and the green color makes it easy to spot.

After having a lot of my stuff trashed on recent flights due to baggage handlers, I decided that I wanted hardside luggage. I have also been fortunate enough to have my luggage lost repeatedly, so I wanted something easy to identify. At the moment, there are not many people who fly with "orange" luggage, so identifying my missing bags is always easy. My last set was orange, and I don't think I could go back to anything less "high profile" with respect to appearance. With that said, there are a couple of things to keep in mind with this set: 1) Hardside does not equal hard case. The components are likely vacuum formed, and are fairly thin (0.020"?). As such, they are not rigid, but do seem to maintain their shape. Still a far cry better than standard, soft sided luggage. 2) These are budget pieces, and some aspects of them feel cheap. For example, the extendable handle on the carry-on sized piece, is telescoping. When fully extended, the handle dos not feel very robust. Maybe this is because I like to push the suitcase in an upright position while walking though airports (doing so takes bearing the weight of the suitcase off of you and put it onto the wheels). In this mode of operation the handle deflects about an inch due to the plastic bushings in the telescoping pieces. 3) The casters seem to do quite well. They are smooth and quiet, and seem to roll over most surfaces easily. Short carpet provides some extra resistance, but it isn't too bad. Time will tell how they hold up. 4) The Set is advertised as "Super Lightweight", this is true. The suitcases are very light. I would be willing to forgo a little weight savings for the rigidity of a thicker shell. But, again, these are budget minded pieces. The advertising scheme is that with a lighter case, you can pack more of your belongings inside without risk of being "overweight" on the airlines' scales. I figure that the weight savings equate to an extra change of underwear and socks. So, I'm not sure this is a tremendous advantage, as much as it is a marketing ploy. Also, I have high enough frequent flyer status that I do not pay for baggage. So, for me this is a moot point. Overall, these are decent pieces, but I expect that they will be worn out in 4 or 5 years. I fly a lot, so your mileage may vary...

If you travel often and want inexpensive luggage that holds up well, rolls super easily, and meets size limits for domestic and international legacy/full service airlines, Rockland is it. This set looks good, is expandable, and keeps contents dry and protected. As with most, they nest for storage to reduce space needed. I only buy these on sale and Rockland luggage is such a good value that one could buy a set of these each year for several years and still spend less than on one set of Away and other "status" or "better" brands. Have not had any issues with build quality, zippers are all great. Wheels work perfectly. Love the color choices and the included sizes. Handles are strong and well-placed for easy lifting and manageability. Telescoping handles have been flawless. Recommended and will buy again.
