DELSEY Paris Helium Aero Hardside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels

Very satisfied

Lots of room. Wheels are excellent. This suitcase got me through 2 months of traveling in Europe. Handles so well and is light. Still looks good and all wheels survived the cobblestone streets!

From someone who has traveled internationally frequently, reviewing a checked bag (24") 1. 10lb weight unpacked. Even some carry-on's weigh that much. So....if you are limted to 50lbs (45 even on some airlines, you'll want to save weight. This bag is nice and light despite the hard sides. Because you DON'T repeat don't don't pack to the limit. I let my traveling buddy do this just once and it was DISASTER. She overloaded on the way back (of course!) and I was tossing stuff into my (underloaded bag) while saying naughty words. Oh, yes, I travel with a small luggage scale. If you have an over-packer with you, or can't estimate weights, you will want one too. They are a small investment saving hundreds. Believe me.... Overweight bags? The airline gets this look of "OH BOY!" in their eyes at the agent desk and you'll be hauling out your wallet. Don't do it. 100pct would not recommend. 2. Structure: the surface is shiny ABS --the titatium color is a lovely shiny gunmetal grey but you may want some decoratively bright tape in fluorescent barbi pink, evil orange or gruesome green to make it stand out among all the black and grey luggage. The surface is ridged vertically for extra strength. 3. Inside: there is a zip compartment in the top and straps on the bottom. The zip compartment has an extra zip pocket in the nylon divider. Huge points for this. Keeps shoes and say, equipment off the clothing. The small compartment on the divider holds little items or USB cords or a copy of your insurance. 4. Spinner wheels. Why I bought it. My well-traveled and now obsolete suitcase has only drag wheels and though I'm sentimental about it (we rounded the Horn together) it has to be retired. Spinners are the way to go; you can wheel it unlifted all over long walks in airports like Houston, Rome, Berlin and Madrid. 5. Hard sides: I've seen musical instruments being tossed like circus acrobats into the cargo ramp (and the hapless musician crying like a baby as they watched while being given smelling salts) so you want hard sides. 6. Expanding zipper: I've used this. I like a 24" suitcase (keeps me from being tempted to overpack) and then when I'm forced to take on the traveling companion's overweight items, I can expand to fit them unexpectedly. Or if I'm bringing home something I just couldn't resist . 5. Zipper pulls fit a 3 combo lock with TSA compliance. If you rotate the zip pulls around they snap into a lock on the long side. If it happens to get destroyed during travel, you still can lock with a TSA compliant loop lock separately. 6. 24" size. Big enough for a week or two, can be checked (too big for carry-on.) Why not the 29" This limits the temptation to overpack. However, if you travel with an over-packer and you can restrain yourself, the 29" larger is handy as you can leave room and weight in case of someone being overweight on the way home. You can then rescue them from an overweight bag by redistributing. Also a 29" is better for long trips (3-4 week or more.) Summary: This is a very well designed, useful piece of luggage

Average hard case,handle looks not strong at all.Expecting more from Delsey.
