Platinum Elite Hardside Expandable Spinner Wheel Luggage TSA Lock Hard Shell Polycarbonate Suitcase, Vintage Grey, Checked-Medium 25-Inch

I love this luggage, every feature is thoughtful and practical for travel. The maneuverability is so smooth, I glided through the airport. All the zippers work well and the charging option was so convenient. This was slightly smaller than my previous carry-on luggage but I didn’t notice the difference too much. The expanded zipper area helped. I also like that there was a pocket accessible from the outside. I could put my mask and other easy to reach items.

Can’t wait to use it or my European Trip next year…. Plus couldn’t beat the price on sale for $200

My wife and I have gone on a number of lengthy overseas trips in the last decade and over that time weve come to hold definite opinions on what makes good luggage. The carry-on versions of this luggage from Travelpro are the best luggage weve seen or used, bar none, in our years of travel. The thoughtful touches and quality of construction are off the chart.

better than my Tumi - wheel broke… love the light weight, tough exterior and zipped sections!!

It is True Navy in color and complies with published check-in size restrictions for nearly all major domestic airlines (62 linear inches). Precision Glide System delivers precise control and effortless roll with a Contour Grip, Power Scope Lite Handle and MagnaTrac self-aligning magnetic Spinner Wheels. This is a very nice premium travel case.

I bought both the Briggs & Riley torq and the Travelpro 22 Carry On to see which one met my needs. I do many 3-4 day trips, and occasional 10 day trips out of a carry on for business. Sometimes, I carry a commercial Camera rig. So, I need volume when I need it, and convenience all the time. In this test, Travelpro was the hands down winner. Now Briggs usually sells a compression version but its been out of stock for quite a while everywhere. Too bad for them I guess. In general, I was surprised at the low quality of the Briggs for the price-- see the video. Youll see how it deforms.

Was a lifelong Samsonite owner and decided to try the Travel Pro Elite 20 in. shell with laptop slot. Overall very good. Used it on three plane trips and two conferences. The good: strong body, excellent four wheel maneuverability, expandable to another inch or so, fits perfectly in overhead bin and is compliant with FAA regs, so never a worry no matter which airline you use, or the mood of the staff at check in. Very good for a short trip, or a week long trip if you have easy access to laundry machines. If you add a Travel Pro duffel bag, it’s perfect. The bad: After seven months, I was sliding the zipper that controls expandability and the pull broke off the zipper assembly. That’s when I first noticed it was made of cheap fake leather. This is unacceptable for a high end offering of luggage. Samsonite always used sturdy metal pulls on their outside zippers. A zipper for expandability will always receive more pull and stress. Was Travel Pro trying to save 50 cents on a $430 item? I then noticed the interior compartment zippers also contain the fake leather pulls on their zippers. When packing, the compartments expand and these pulls will eventually break. I had to purchase replacement metal pulls with carabiner mechanisms. Totally unacceptable for Travel Pro’s top offering. Hence the deduction of two stars for durability. Other than that, a solid, good-looking piece of luggage. However, I’m seriously disappointed in the cheap zipper pulls. Shame on Travel Pro.

At this premium price ($400 at time of writing, and Travelpro’s current flagship carry-on), I’m going to be a bit more critical of things I’d overlook on cheaper luggage.

This is a very cheaply built suitcase

The first time it was used, the zipper broke. I thought that at this price it would be sturdier than it was. I got it for my husband as a Christmas present. I was embarrassed and tried to prove that it was actually a nice case. I think there is a warranty, but not sure what to do—what a pain.
