Quality
Craft from extra-thick ABS plastic hard shell, this product is scratch-resistant and strong. However, we found the plastic to be less water-resistant than anticipated, and it sustained some damage when it came off the baggage carousel. I believe the colour played a role, which is why we prefer testing lighter colours to see how they compare to the standard black ones.
Moveability
Light weight and easy to manoeuvre Gliding smoothly on its spinner wheels and telescopic handle which can be used at several heights.
Storage
Hard shell suitcase which can expand for up to 25% more packing room, allowing you to fit additional items without compromising on organization and storage. There is an interior organizer, featuring a divider and three zippered pockets
Warranty
One-year warranty
Verdict
Held up surprising well on a long flight and was comfortable wheeling along partly due to the varied height handle. Even easy enough for a child to use.
For a basic carry on it is well sized, affordable and does the job. If you only travel one or twice a year this one is for you.
