    I sent the suitcase back as it a little too big for me but it is a really nice case really well finished.

    The media could not be loaded.

    This is indeed a very premium suitcase, I can tell by the materials used, and the special foam lining inside to protect our loved items.
    The wheels are sturdy and easy to move around.
    Having divider panels to keep contents organized is a very valuable thing including the fact that I can expand its size by 2 inches while having only 2.8 kilos.

    I only have one issue, however: grabbing the suitcase by the handle hurts my fingers because there is little space between the handle and the luggage’s textured surface. If the luggage has a smooth surface it wouldn’t be an issue.

    I love this suitcase, suitable for a weekend away, it’s tough, sturdy, built very well and is unbelievably lightweight and easy to move around.
    The castor wheels allow this suitcase to be pushed and pulled in any way and makes travelling with this super easy.
    The extendable handle feels strong, with firm clicks confirming its in place and ready to roll.
    This has a 2 way zip mechanism that locks directly into a 3 digit padlock which is a unique way of securing the case. This is the first time I’ve seen this type of locking mechanism.
    There is also a key hole built in for unlocking the case by airport staff/customs.
    Usual carry handles are incorporated on the sides which also feel strong.
    The case is expandable slightly, giving you extra room where needed and separate compartments inside the case for effective organising of your clothes, shoes etc.
    The price at £160 at time of review is very expensive for a case this size, but the quality is premium and you aren’t getting a cheapy, unreliable, unsturdy case here.. You’re getting exactly what you pay for which is a strong, quality and gorgeous looking suitcase that also oozes style and professionalism.
    The design is premium and will set your suitcase apart from most others making it easy to identify on a long-awaited period of your luggage coming up and onto the conveyor belts at airports lol.
    You’ll probably get a few admirers as well lol.
    No-one is borrowing this from me (family members tend to borrow our suitcases because we only buy quality cases)
    You just can’t beat a hard shell suitcase for reliability and ease of packing and travelling with and this is even better than I imagined. But then this is pretty costly.
    Fantastic quality, fantastic build backed by a fantastic warranty of 5 years!
    Amazing 🙂

    Es una maleta de buena calidad y que es una buena opción si viajamos mucho, porque es resistente y las ruedas hace que sea muy cómoda de mover de un lado a otro, el único problema es el precio que es algo alto.

    La maleta se nota resistente, toda la parte exterior es de plástico duro con un acabado rugoso, en un lateral tenemos también un candado incorporado para poder cerrarla y darle un pequeño “extra” de seguridad, el candado es sencillo pero cumple su cometido.

    Las ruedas son dobles en cada una de ellas, además de ser bastante grandes, esto hace que giren muy bien y se pueda llevar la maleta en multitud de posiciones de forma cómoda y sin que se nos “haga pesado” andarnos moviendo por la ciudad o aeropuerto.

    El interior es el común en productos de este tipo, un lado cerrado con cremallera y el otro con dos tiras de gomas cruzadas, para poder tener todo colocado. Tenemos también algún bolsillo extra pequeño para medicamentos o cosas pequeñas.

    La he usado estas navidades para ir donde la familia y me ha gustado mucho, si la encuentras en oferta lo veo una buena compra.

    Soy usuario habitual de las maletas con medidas de equipaje de cabina y esta es perfecta para la inmensa mayoría de las aerolíneas.

    Me ha llevado un rato pero con las medidas me he entretenido buscando en qué aerolínea no podía utilizarla y prácticamente en la inmensa mayoría (por no decir todas) se permitía este tamaño. Que yo recuerde he probado en Iberia, Air France, British airways, Lufthansa, Finnair, turkis Airlines… Y luego he mirado en aerolíneas de bajo coste, en las que únicamente te dejan subir un bolso sin coste y esta maleta aunque sea ilegal te la cobran. Aun pagando entra en las medidas de Vueling Ryanair y Volotea.
    Estos datos para mí son importantísimos ya que mi uso es prácticamente semanal y tengo que tener siempre una maleta válida.

    Por otro lado ya que es habitual que las aerolíneas las pesen esta maleta es buenísima en ese aspecto. Cuanto más ligera es más ropa puedo meter sin llegar al peso máximo y para eso esta es perfecta.

    En cuanto a la maleta en sí tiene paneles divisorios interiores que vienen muy bien para mantener el contenido muy organizado separado y a la vez seguro.
    Otro detalle que me ha gustado es la cerradura TSA y es que esta cerradura es perfecta contra cacos y sus robos pero a la vez permite a las autoridades desbloquear y volver a cerrar la bolsa en caso de una inspección.

    El detalle de las ruedas grandes para mí es algo indispensable ya que al transportarla es muchísimo más cómodo y hace que tenga que esforzarme menos.
    He probado un poco su resistencia y personalmente considero que es perfecta para su uso.

    Si tengo que comentar algo malo es el precio y es que es muy cara pero la calidad tiene un precio y en este caso tenemos una maleta extraordinaria

    This is a very lightweight high capacity bag with four castors and extendable handle making it also wheel it along on two wheels.

    It can also expand an extra 2″ but that would make it more at risk of damage.

    It has two carry handles which are not comfortable to use crushing your fingers but I guess are designed not to snag when on luggage conveyors.

    It has a basic combination lock with TSA override so in theory authorised airport people can open and check the contents if required so don’t think the key is missing because you don’t get one.

    No location for a luggage label on the outside but I guess they are a thing of the past.

    The four castors look rather exposed to me but the bag has a five year warranty and even if one broke you would still be protecting your luggage.

    The low weight is of course great assuming your airline has weight limits and hopefully I will be using it for a trip abroad early next year.

    First of all I’d like to get the bad points out of the way before I start this review as I think people should know this first, there aren’t any.

    I do a lot of travelling as me and my partner don’t live together and they live an hour away from me so we stop at each other’s house half of the week. In the past 2 years I’ve managed to break 2 cases because I forget they’re not meant to be thrown around like I work at Manchester airport. So getting this has changed my view on cases all together, not only can this hold everything I need for 3 days but it’s nicely made with travelling in mind (unlike my others which feel like shopping trollies 🛒 with broken wheels.

    I was testing the manoeuvrability with it and I’m able to spin it 360° with 1 finger and it’s effortless. It’s that good I’m thinking of getting my partner one for Christmas.

    This is the best thing I’ve ever got from Amazon by a mile!

    Os comento brevemente que tal me ha parecido esta maleta, en mi caso en la talla L.

    ✅ Muy ligera, fácil se transportar.
    ✅ Gran capacidad.
    ✅ Rueda muy bien. Con ruedas que giran 360°
    ✅ Tiene cierre de seguridad.
    ✅ Diseño sobrio y elegante.

    ❌ El precio me parece muy muy elevado (240€), a pesar de ser de muy buena calidad, tenemos opciones igual de buenas por menos dinero. Eso sí, la misma marca vende maletas más económicas también.

    En resumen, muy buena calidad, pero precio desorbitado.

    Maleta vendida por Travelpro, modelo Maxlite Air, en tamaño grande y en color azul. Esta misma marca tiene maletas de este mismo modelo que no precisa Check-in por su tamaño más reducido, y en color plata.

    Una de las cosas que más me ha gustado de la maleta es que pese a su tamaño, es extremadamente ligera, esta realizada en policarbonato rígido, muy ligero y está diseñada para absorber los posibles golpes e impactos sin que sufra daños.

    A la hora de moverla y transportarla, resulta sencillo ya que la maleta cuenta con ruedas giratorias en 360° que se deslizan con suavidad y sin hacer excesivo ruido, además, tiene patas en uno de los laterales para poder posarla en sentido horizontal, y dos asas, una superior extraíble con dos posiciones, y otra lateral en material siliconado y flexible.

    El cierre es con código de seguridad de tres cifras que sujeta la doble cremallera, y cuenta con otra cremallera que es para abrir la expansión de la maleta, ganando aún más espacio extra.

    En su interior, vemos que ambas zonas tienen paneles con algún bolsillo y cierre de cremallera para que el contenido quede bien protegido, me ha gustado este modo de sujeción porque, abras como abras la maleta, el contenido no se moverá ni se caerá. Además, todo el forro interior esta fabricado con botellas de plástico recicladas, con la consiguiente reducción de residuos medioambientales.

    En definitiva, es una buena maleta, de tamaño extra, súper ligera y con acabados resistentes y duraderos.

    I needed to upgrade my carry-on luggage as I’m facing to take it for 10days holiday in a tropical island soon. The restriction is quite strict (5kg max) so my first option was to find a lightweight one.
    This only weighs 2.7kg, whereas others are more than 3kgs easily, and my another must-have was “expandable” and I took easily 3months to meet my dream luggage.
    The shells is really nice and sturdy and the wheels are amazing.
    Cons: cheap sewing for the price you pay, and as other pointed out, you can’t really use the tip handle as there is no space for your hand to be in (and it hurts).
    Once I actually use it for my holiday, I will update my review.

    *** update after holiday ***
    10days in hot Thailand, I didn’t even have to expand the suitcase. Can hold quite a lot in this suitcase.
    (10kgs when weighed at the airport but still could squeeze a pair of flip flops / some jumpers for sure. So with the expand I’m sure I could have packed more!)
    Once it’s loaded, the concern I had with the handle wasn’t an issue as the suitcase had some weight in it it gave enough space between the handle.
    The wheels are amazingly smooth!
