Pelican Air 1615 Travel Case - Suitcase Luggage (Black)

I travel 30-40 times per year and I usually check a bag with the airlines. If I get 6 months out of a checked bag before the airlines have destroyed it through rough handling, I am lucky. My MO for years was to buy a cheap roller bag every 6 months or so. I decided to see if I could buy a bag that the airlines could not destroy. The bag is sturdy and not too heavy. On my first one week trip, it weighed on at 50lbs fully packed. It has sturdy locks and rugged wheels. It is not a spinner, which is fine. Spinner wheels are doomed to damage because they stick out too far. Lid organizer is nice, the interior is not lined or padded, so I have gone to using packing cubes to contain items. Because it is a hard shell, there is no overpacking or expanding. The bag is nice and large but not too thick. Fits nicely in my sedan trunk. It is not a cheap bag, but if it lasts 4 years or more it will be a good investment.

This comes with $2 dividers and $10 TSA locks. Save $100 and buy the 1615 Air. I promise you are not getting worth the extra money. The dividers are made of the thinnist material possible and will not withstand packing them.

When we received this pelican case the entire bottom corner and wheel was broken. The box had very little damage. We returned the item.

Its a great case but I only gave 3 stars because the price is ridiculous compared to off brands of the same quality. The telescopic handle seems pretty flimsy hasnt broke yet but its a concern for the longevity of the case. The case isnt very deep as well, so it wont hold as much as
