Lite -Shock - Spinner S Suitcase, 55 cm, 36 l, Brown (Sand)

An excellent lightweight suitcase. It's has a semi-hardshell case, flexible but resistant. Simple design with a zip closure and one interior compartment. Good quality wheels and handle. So far it has stood up well to the rigour of baggage handlers.

I've now bought the 81cm, 73cm and 69cm cases. I've used Samsonite for about 10 years previously and love the robustness - and the fact that if something breaks, they fix it (twice now). I upgraded to these because of weight. I live by two travel luggage rules. 1) If you can't fit it into one case (airline weight allowance considered), you're doing something wrong. 2) Obeying rule 1, it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it! So in short I travel "light" but not light. So many evenings before a trip I've weight my case and had to shave some weight off or wonder "How much leeway do they give you at check-in? Is 10% too much?). I can honestly say, these things are ridiculously light. I literally have supermarket bags for life that are heavier (empty)! OK I've exaggerated there but not by much. Seriously though, since owning these, I've never had that pre-flight dilemma over what to dump. If you're a regular traveller these are for you. They're bloody expensive if you're not, but even then, if money is no object, go for it. Every now and then you take a chance and buy something functional that exceeds expectations, and this/these are one of them. Light and worryingly flexible but seemingly very robust. They zoom round the airport with the turning circle of a London taxi. After 4 long haul and 3 short haul trips in less than a year, they're surprisingly pristine. Yes they're expensive and for many would not represent value for money. For me, they just about deliver that too. Especially when I recall the time I was charged £50 by Tui for being 1.2kg over my allowance.

As a frequent flyer having a durable and light weight suitcase helps makes business travel that little bit easier. After owning this suitcase for the past 3 months I am happy to say this is an excellent product. Being extremely lightweight I find it very easy to manoeuvre around, having 4 wheels really does make a difference. Even after 4 round trips from the UK to Asia since owning it, apart from a very small & minor scratch my case still looks as good as new. The 69cm size might be a little two small for say a family holiday but for up to a 10 day business trip I find there is just enough space for everything I need. I would definitely recommend this case to both work colleagues and friends.

Our Samsonite suitcase - purchased here - has not seen that much usage but somehow the locking mechanism has jammed and does not respond to the digital code anymore !! Where / how can I get this fixed ? Beyond disappointed as this is sold as a superior brand and had expected so much more ! The case looks lovely and is exceptionally light but without being able to confidently close it up - it’s useless !!! I live in Surrey so any help would be appreciated - so far Samsonite have not been at all helpful by just telling me to take to any retailer - nobody will touch it ! HELP ! This was supposed to be an investment piece …..

I had the older version of this case for just over ten years. It quite literally traveled the world with me, and wore more battle scars than any case I've ever know. Various airport baggage handlers had tried their best with it, and sometimes I retrieved it from baggage carousels with huge dents that would just push out. It had a great life, achieved amazing airline miles and looked fantastic. Then one day, packing up to return from the US, the handle jammed. It would go all the way in, but not pull out. The mechanism had broken, given up. It was no longer possible for me to trundle my suitcase in any easy way, and sadly I realised that it was time for it to retire. He's not been dumped, just relegated to the loft as storage. So this lite-shock is the replacement. It's been to the US, Belgium and Dubai so far. Just as good as the old one - but with one massive improvement: Silent wheels!

After a lot of comparison shopping this is definitely the lightest hardshell on the market at the moment and the petrol blue is a very nice colour. The Curve material does seem less 'hard' and more bendy than heavier cases so will be interesting how it handles a very long haul flight. Even packed with Xmas presents and more shoes than I should really take it still weighs only 17 kilos so far, well below the 23kg airline limit. Yes at over £200 it is expensive for a suitcase but I got it for nearly half the price on the Samsonite & most other sites. Unfortunately I had a lot of issues with delivery, with it not even dispatched on it's original expected delivery date, and was getting very anxious with my flight looming that it would not arrive int time. Luckily it did but do allow more time than the Amazon site says - it arrived 2 days late but that was with a lot of chats & calls chasing it and getting promises it was being fast tracked.

This is the lightest and easiest case I have owned. I’ve struggled to use the lock on it but have put a small lock myself, thought it felt flimsy but it is not. Because it’s light you can fit more clothes in the case, it might be a bit more expensive than other cases but in my opinion it’s well worth it.

Good

Niezwykle lekka i solidna walizka.

endlich habe ich die richtige größe der koffer hat mich in die wüste begleitet, ist praktisch, macht einen stabilen eindruck und ich finde ihn schnell auf dem gepäckband (habe auch noch zwei gekreuzte breite klebebänder vorne und hinten draufgeklebt). mit einem dicken schwarzen filzstift lässt er sich gut beschriften und individualisieren ...

product is not a good quality

Rubber bending is torn in 1st voyage itself. The wheels are not performing well when weight is not more then 23kg.

Kosmiczna walizka, 2,5 kg wagi, jakość wykonania perfekcyjna.
