Comete 3.0 Hardside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels, Lavender, Checked-Medium, 24 Inch

This luggage is the definition of elegance and convenience.

I own many pieces of Delsey luggage and have always been pleased with the quality and construction of them. This 20 inch carry-on from Delseys Comete 3.0 Hardside collection has a pretty blue color and a nice texture that conceals if not resists scratches. The luggage handles well with the 4 double wheels. It doesnt roll quite as smoothly as my Delsey Titanium hard side pieces, but it more than does the job. Its not difficult to wheel or carry, even when full. The hardside admittedly feels a little flimsy - its not, but its definitely more lightweight than the pieces in some of Delseys other lines.

The suitcase larger than expected.

VERY light. Zipper action fine. With hard shells you lose the outside pouches so just the bag open and close zipper and the expansion zippers on this. They performed well. Once open, the inside was the traditional Delsey layout of quick connect and zipper down. The wheels have lots of cut-outs in them which saves money and weight—does this sacrifice reliability?

Initial thoughts are that it’s a great case. I have several name brand (Away, Beis, Travel Lounge) and it feels up to their quality. The wheels are smooth empty, and up to 30lbs (added some weights in to test). Excited to take it on a trip in two weeks.

When I first opened this suitcase, I thought to myself-- This could be the same suitcase I bought 15 years ago, whats new about this?. Funny how quickly we forget the old, chunky, clunky, boxy suitcases prior to 1990.

This is a perfect size, seems quite sturdy though I havent taken it on a long trip, and fits in overhead bins on an airplane. I cannot guarantee that the durability will hold up in severe cold, because it seems like temperatures of 20 below Fahrenheit or colder might be enough to freeze the plastic. But it hasnt happened so far. Its a great size to be portable but still hold enough for possibly a 5-day trip as long as you dont have to pack for heat and rain and sleet or something like that. It steers well on the wheels and they are still rolling at this point, unlike the last roller bag I got which broke on the first trip.

Used one time and it has a Crack already.

Fell apart the first trip I took. Inner fabric around expanding zipper immediately ripped, outside shell crushed in from just one flight having to be curbside checked. Actual trash.

We travel a lot and have used until now only soft suitcases which are starting to show their age. This suitcase is super durable. It’s a brilliant blue color, so I feel like it will be easy to spot on the baggage claim. It is easy to wipe off, expands with a zipper, and rolls easily.
