SWISS MOBILITY AHB Collection 3 Piece Hard Shell Luggage Set, Expandable Suitcases with 360-Degree Spinner Wheels, Retractable Handle, 20 Inch Carry On, 24 Inch Mid-size, 28 Inch Large Bags, Red

After going over these with a fine tooth comb, I can’t find any flaws right off hand. All zippers work properly and there are no unfortunate cracks in the shells. That’s a big reason I’ve always avoided this style of suitcase and to tell you the truth, I’m still a little nervous about that as it’s my first one. There’s no way that that material doesn’t easily crack and break under harsh conditions, but we’ll see. I don’t know how important the looks of a suitcase are, but this set is very aesthetically pleasing. The red is a deep and rich color that really sticks out. Due to the surface of the material, I don’t know that you’d be able to deck it out with personalized decals, but you could try. As far as the function of the set, I’m liking it so far. I admittedly only wanted it for the carry on as I rarely take trips that require anything more than that, but I have to say, wow. The inside of the carry on actually has a zippable closed off section to place your shoes and keep them separate from the rest of your stuff. Not all carry-ons have that and it’s a thoughtful addition, otherwise you’re stuck bringing shoe bags. I tested all those zippers and they all worked as well. Plenty of compartments to separate everything. I’ll probably still use my luggage bags to divide everything up, but it’s nice to know there’s good options for separation without them. Now, I hate to be a trouble-fuss, but it annoys the crap out of me that there’s no handle on the side of the carry on, but the other two sizes have one. If I have to stow my luggage away horizontally, that’s going to be annoying. Like I said, it’s a picky pick, but I had to pick it… I have 22 hours worth of flight time coming up over the next week and if even the slightest thing happens to this suitcase, you’ll hear about it. Hard shell suitcases don’t have the best track record no matter what brand they are. You can have the best luck with them, but one small circumstance will crack it wide open. If this happens, I’ll update. Note: Pictured are the largest and smallest size. I was too lazy to take the mid-size back out of the large one, but rest assured, its a 3 pc set. : ) Update: 10.21.2022 My original rating of this set was a 5, but I decided to come back and downrate it to a 2.5. It still gets a few points for looking great and offering a few good features. It unfortunately, however, did not do well on its first assignment and therefore has been retired since. We took the carry-on and largest case on a trip to Hawaii some months back and let me tell you. To get home and see a crack was disheartening. Now, mind you, the crack was on the carry-on, which stayed with me on the plane the entire trip. I never handled it roughly. Not once. We only had one stop each way and Im sorry, but that just wasnt enough hustle and bustle to cause any significant damage to the cases, leaving me to deduce that they simply arent built for the task of real travel. They also are quick to scratch. Its ridiculous. Not to mention, as I thought it would, the absence of a handle on the side proved to be an absolute pain. Judging by my own experience, I wouldnt really recommend the set. If you just have to have it, be mindful of what you put in it. Should it crack, as did mine, you risk losing anything valuable you chose to store in it. Just my two cents.

This is a solid luggage set. Three sizes, all able to nest inside each other for efficient storage. The outer shell is a bit flexible but seems solid enough to take some abuse. The zippers, wheels, and handles all work nicely. These maybe arent your top-of-the-line super-durable luggage for someone who really lives out of a suitcase, but they should work very well for most travelers.

Theres alot to wanna love with this set but as soon as you love it you get a divorce because they leave you damaged. The red rolor is gorgeous and the overall design is very attractive. I like the layout of the inside of each piece and how the small pieces can sit inside of each other when empty. I really like the wheels as they have worked great. I love how lightweight each piece is but I see that comes at a price in regards to durability. Now the handle at times really makes me feel like its gonna fly out of my hand and collapse on the ground. Which is insane because I dont play roughly with my luggage. I have also noticed the shell dents pretty easily but usually I can push it back out. Though I would assume that cant be good for the overall integrity of the shell. So for now I still give a pretty good review but its really on shaky grounds. Anything changes I will update my review.
