Sympatico Hardside Domestic Spinner Luggage, Plum, 22-Inch Carry-On

The perfect suitcase.

My first reaction when taking my new carry-on out of the box was wow! It looks so sleek. My wows kept going; I couldnt help lifting the handle and walking across the room. The handle has so many choices for height (My other only has 2). There is also a side handle that makes picking it up to stow away easier. My biggest wow is how smooth it glides across the floor. The lack of sound coming from the wheels is a thrill. Its very light, too.

Looked at Rimowa and picked this due to 70/30 split compartment unavailable in both Rimowas and Tumi.. no regrets.. well made smooth wheels good use of interior space.

I travel a lot. Ive worn out a couple of Samsonite suitcases of similar size and value. So far, this suitcase is more durable, scratch resistant, and mobile. I am very happy with the locks, zippers, and storage compartments. The inside design is smart and functional. I am completely satisfied.

Penny wise pound foolish. Just spend a little more to get High grade quality. Love this luggage, rolls effortlessly!

The is the nicest, best designed piece of luggage I’ve ever seen. Everything about it screams quality and convenience. I’ve owned hard cases before but never one quite like this. It’s modern and sleek and pretty much indestructible. The material is strong and durable while still having a little flexibility so it’s not going to end up dented. The wheels are more like wings. Seriously, rolling this case around is effortless like it’s flying. The handles pull out just a bit when you need to use them then snap back flat when you let go. The little attached pouch on the back is genius. It unzips to hold a portable charger and has a small hole to run a cord through to charge your device. There’s also a luggage tag holder that slides in and out. The interior has plenty of room and can be expanded to add more space. The expansion is brilliant. Instead of adding a few inches of weak material or fabric, the case remains structured and strong when expanded. There are three zippered pockets on one side and the main area has elastic straps to hold your clothing in place. I really like that there is padding under that area rather than just a piece of fabric. It protects your items from being pressed into the metal bars of the pull out handle. The final level of security is the combination lock which is easy to set and holds the zipper pulls securely. Those pulls also come together when locked and you can put a padlock through them. I’m thrilled with this piece of luggage. The quality is superb and the thought and care that went into the design are noticeable and appreciated. It’s a pricier piece but it’s worth it to keep everything safe and secure, and it will probably outlive me.

The handle doesn’t work well. It doesn’t always lock into place so randomly lowers while you’re moving it. The button also protrudes more than other bags so it’s easier to hit it when walking. The zipper lock is also quite finicky and doesn’t always push in. The internal design is not great. The zippered section ends up wasting a lot of space because it’s nearly impossible to get anything into the corners. The only good thing about this bag is the compression system, which works pretty well. Overall, much lower quality than what I’m used to from the brand.

So I finally decided to splurge on a Briggs and Riley (that warramty), after tossing money at cheap luggage for 30 years...I originally bought the Baseline soft sided with the matching duffle; LOVED the color (olive and tan) and the duffel was SO spacious. BUT, I returned both after packing the carryon suitcase for a 3 week trip to Italy. Why? Because it tips over once packed. Its all about the wheel positioning....if you open the Baseline and lay it flat to pack you see it has all 4 wheels on one side of the bag. So once you close the 2 sides, the weight from the section without wheels causes it to tip forward. Doesnt matter if you pack the heavy items on the bottom...I tried four times! So I returned and reluctantly bought this hard sided version (I wanted soft sided as I own a set of cheaper Italian hard side luggage) because as you see, 2 wheels are in one side of the bag and 2 on the other, offering a perfect balance once packed. Oddly the back wheels are larger than the front, sont know why but doesnt affect the way it rolls or stands up. The compression function is amazing! Ive been traveling 3 weeks now in Italy with this suitcase and a backpack (Im 5w yrs young) and it has help up spectacularly on cobble stone streets and firs as a carryon in all planes so far. Its easy to lift into the trains with handles conveniently placed. the extender handle goes pretty high so tall people will love it; you can adjust it lower as well (which I do since Im only 55). The color is beautiful and I dont see one scratch on it.

I was referred to this luggage by a friend. Works perfectly and exactly as described. I only wish it came in the Hunter Green like my Torq. Excellent product and well worth the price.
