Winfield 2

I bought the white medium sized suitcase in Nov 2023 and it’s held up well since then. I probably use it 2-4 times a year for personal trips. The white is nice because it’s easier to spot among a sea of black and navy suitcases- I put vinyl stickers on mine for extra ease of identification (and fun). The only downside of the white color is that it gets black scuff marks on it pretty much immediately, so if that bothers you I’d pick a darker color. It’s a decent size for about a weeks worth of travel, although I could see wanting a bigger suitcase for longer stays (or to allow more shopping at your destination). Wheels and handles all seem very sturdy, and while I haven’t dragged it around a ton I don’t baby it either. While there are suitcases out there that look more fancy I don’t really feel the need to upgrade, and probably wouldn’t unless I suddenly started traveling a lot more.

Beautiful suitcase. Finish almost looks like Liquid Metal, very cool. Took it on the first flight and it did great. It rolls beautifully and holds a lot of items without going over the 50lbs. We did get a cover for it because it’s a darker, shinier finish and could show scratches.

suitcase was a recommended one on Wirecutter. It looks great and is nice and light

I bought this in checked bag size - it does come in a carry on size but this one would not fit as a carry on. It has a nice roomy interior. The separator flap has two pockets and two zippers and fits a good amount of things. The straps on the open side are adjustable to tighten around whatever is there so it doesn’t all fall out opening the case. The blue iridescent color is so nice and easy to see on the luggage carousel, but as other reviewers noted it does show scuffs easily. I’ve taken mine on one trip to Europe and the photos show how it turned out. I figure - I bought suitcases to use and travel and assume they’ll get beat up a bit, but if this bothers you this isn’t the suitcase for you. It was a good price for the product and I found it to be lightweight but sturdy, and roomy to fit everything I needed. Would consider getting the matching carry on when my current carry on wears out.

I must have spent hours looking for luggage sets. I'm not made of money, but I'm also just paranoid enough to not want to risk a less expensive brand that reviews were either broken wheels or zippers. I get hard luggage will get banged up, so wanted to go darker color wise. My husband didn't care about the color, and the white, orange and purple 3 sets were half the price of the other colors. White is too light for us. Orange will (imo) look dirty quick. Dark purple won't look super dirty fast and hopefully will hide scuff marks better. So he gets manly purple. The protective plastic film is still on in the photos, but if you look around the logo you can see the true shine. We may leave the film on for the cruise, sure it'll look goofy but will provide a tiny bit more protection than if it was gone? Side note, if you check out lots of the negative reviews, they tend to refer to scratched up and peeling 'finish', thus is likely the protective film. I'll update again after the cruise for a true story of how well it works! Zippers feep sturdy. Zipper on the liner is backwards, which I think is intentional as I've seen this on various luggage sets in store. It opens just fine though. Handles feel good, but I'm honestly nervous on how well they'll handle weight. Luggage came with 1 of the luggage locks numbers off, it said 001 instead of 000 like the others. Common sense made me change it to 000 and it opened just fine, so make sure to try the default of 000 if yours is the same. Package was only taped once, all packing material seemed solid and not redone, so I doubt this is a return. *UPDATE* Luggage handled the cruise handling just fine. We checked the 2 larger bags and carry on the small. We walked off with all 3,including walking across a busy street to our parking garage. The luggage has very slight scrapes, nothing noticeable unless you're looking close and at an angle. I did remove the plastic before the trip too. Wheels worked well. Handles did fine. I had the medium and large loaded to just under 50lbs each. Only issue is, I was going to register the luggage and it says to use a QR paper that came with the luggage or find it in the luggage. There was no QR code anywhere and I do have a tag in each luggage but can not figure out what numbers to use. I emailed the company so will k ow soon hopefully. Luggage wise, I'm not regretting it as our first luggage purchase at all. They're so pretty and feel sturdy, I cannot wait to find another reason to travel with them again! All 3 fit in the trunk of our 2013 Hyundai Elantra BTW. Pro tip, open the luggage to air out a bit, then toss a dryer sheet in each side (behind the zipper). My husband was wondering what smelled so good when he helped me pack the luggage, and when we opened it upon return it smelled very nice.

This is the 3rd set of these bags I've purchased. I own 2 full sets myself and just bought the purple set for my girlfriend as a Christmas gift...her luggage was falling apart on us when we were traveling so she always used one of my sets anyway. They really are incredible pieces of luggage...to date I've had them out in the rain, loaded them up with upwards of 150 lbs and then thrown a 100 lb duffel on top and still rolled them around with relative ease and with no degradation or breaks in the wheels (although with this much weight the bag will start to sag if you have the expansion zipper unzipped...which I think should probably be expected). Thus far the only two issues I've had with any of them is that: ...one telescoping handle on the carry on of one of my sets is slightly bent now after I dropped it down an escalator with the handle extended. The impact at the bottom with 65 lbs of weight behind it was enough to cause a small bend. As a result it didn't slide in and out quite as easily as before until I took two minutes to gently bend it back. Now it works perfectly but has a blemish. ...someone tried to break into one of them in Thailand and ripped a zipper tab off entirely as well as bending up a number of teeth. They didn't actually get anything out of it, but I did have to send the bag to the service center in Singapore. This might surprise you, but they don't cover lunatic thief damage in the warranty so it cost a few bucks to get a new tab. I actually opted for buying TWO new tabs so they matched perfectly...so that was a few more dollars on top of the few dollars it had cost before! Vanity. It'll get you every time. Otherwise these bags have been abused by literally dozens and dozens of angry airport baggage handlers, bored taxi drivers, underpaid hotel and bus porters, and I've never gotten them back with anything inside damaged. PS4 always works like a charm and my shampoo is always in the bottle where it belongs! They're exactly what you'd want in a functional suitcase. One thing that might be nice would be more handles...the carry on only has one handle on the top, and would greatly benefit from one on the side like it's two larger counterparts, and it would be nice if there was an indention or some other way to grip the bottom...throwing this onto the top of a truck when it's fully loaded when all you can hold onto is one handle and a wheel is not fun. ...but to be fair, most of Samsonite's target demo won't be throwing this suitcase onto the top of a truck. So there's that! :)

It’s very nice and convenient

I can't say enough good things about this line from Samsonite! Since purchasing them a year ago to replace my older luggage I've taken them all over Brazil, all over Argentina, Singapore a dozen times, Bangkok at least once a month for the last 2 years, Ho Chi Min, all over Cambodia, and of course on trips around the US. I've thrown them on and off buses, dragged them from train to train, crammed them in and out of more taxis and shuttles than I can count, and dragged them about a mile and a half down the road in the rain (they're surprisingly water resistant at the seams and expansion fabric...although certainly not water proof). Through it all the handles have held up, despite the larger two consistently weighing in at 70 lbs and the carry-on frequently tipping the scale at close to 40 lbs (don't tell the airlines...that's way too heavy for a carry-on to be) and the wheels are still in amazing shape. The bags also look fantastic given them beating they get! There are a few scratches here and there and I've frequently gotten a bag back with a corner smashed in...but it always pops right back into place with no issues, and the contents are always safe and secure. The locks are still in perfect working order...the handles still slide in and out easily and feel solid when locked into place. All of the zippers work perfectly. The single significant gripe I have about this set of bags that would make it absolutely perfect would be more handles. The carry-on only has a handle on the top of the bag...which makes it a bit awkward for carrying up and down stairs...a side handle like the other two have would be ideal. It would also be nice if there was a grip of some sort on the bottom so that you could more easily lift with two hands when moving it up onto a rack or something of that nature...while most purchasers won't use them to the degree that I do, most will at some point want to put this bag onto a stand in the hotel or lift one up onto a shelf in the terminal bus...the largest bag in particular has a deceptive amount of storage space (I've had it loaded to 104 lbs) and picking it up by the top handle and a rotating wheel is...not super fun. That one caveat though shouldn't discourage anyone from buying them...they've stood as well and better to any number of other more expensive bags I've owned, including other Samsonites...I've been very pleased with them, and expect them to last at least another few years at my current travel pace. For people like my parents who only fly a few times a year this bag could very well be the last one you ever have to buy. EDIT 02/17/2017: I've now purchased 3 full sets of this luggage, 2 in Charcoal for me and a purple set for my girlfriend. I can literally pack everything we own save our camping gear and bikes in those 9 bags...to date the only issue I've ever had was that someone tried to get into one of them and tore through the zipper with a screwdriver or knife...the end result was one zipper clasp was completely missing and a few teeth on the zipper got bent up pretty badly. I sent it off to one of their authorized dealers in Singapore though and was able to repair it with no issues while I was in Malaysia for a few months. EDIT 01/11/2018: After 2 years and just shy of 100 flights, I ripped the seam of the inside liner on one medium bag. I don't think this was the result of bad workmanship however, rather I'd only packed clothes and some camera gear into the top section and zipped it off. The other side was not entirely empty but close. I think at some point the pressure of the gear against the fabric divider, without the support of gear on the opposite side allowed enough motion to cause the seam to give out. It's being repaired now...I'll add a picture once I get it back.

Nice little case, good for cabin baggage.

Leichtes Packen, gut zu bewegen und trotzdem sehr stabil! Samsonite eben!

Jolie valise, jolie marque, je ne l'ai pas vérifiée avant de partir et une fermeture est montée à l'envers. Dommage.

Me sorprendió lo mucho que le cabe a la maleta, según la compré para mí sola, pero le cupo mi ropa y hasta para la de mi madre y aun sobraba espacio para mucho mas, es liviana y el color bello, mi hermano recién se compró el set de 3 maletas de tan hermosas y la calidad Samsonite es ganancia. Mi madre y yo ya la usamos en un viaje, mi hermano proximamente las probará. Gracias Amazon y Samsonite.

FANTASTIC PRODUCT. I FELT SO PROUD WHEELING IT SLOWLY FROM THE HOTEL RECEPTION TO MY ROOM. I DID NOT ALLOW THE BELLHOP TO CARRY IT ON THE LUGGAGE TROLLEY.
