Samsonite Winfield 2 Hardside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels, Brushed Anthracite, 3-Piece Set (20/24/28)

I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the medium (24 inch) luggage. We couldn't order the bigger one because the total dimensions exceeded 60 inches and some airlines do not allow the total dimension of the luggage to exceed 60 inches. The medium-sized one had a total of a little over 56 inches (not expanded). However, the 1.5 inch expansion will allow us to pack more things. I also love the fact that the zipper goes over the expansion area which means that I have the ability to secure and compress all the items in the zippered area even after expansion. The burgundy color is so elegant. The 4 multidirectional spinner wheels is an added plus. The luggage itself is light for being a hard case. I cannot attest to the durability until we use it but it looks like it will withstand the test of time and travel. I will write an updated review if it doesn't. In any case, the luggage has a 10-year warranty and has the "Samsonite" brand so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we will be able to use them (I ordered two) for a long time.

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.

This suitcase still looks like new after many uses.There are many things to like about this case. The outside of the case is durable and has a nice finish to it. The handle to pull the case pops up freely and closes without effort. The wheels make this case glide across the floor. The case expands giving you plenty of capacity for a week of travel. The TSA locks are nice to keep your goods secured. I bought this as a Like New at a discount and it looked perfect on arrival.

Great quality, looks elegant. The close up image of the lock shows a second zipper, suggesting that it is expandable. at least for the carry on in size it is not expandable. For that reason, we returned it, otherwise it is perfect.

The luggage worked great and rolled with ease. It handled a heavy load of clothing. More than a man needs for 10 days along with different items with plenty of room. The locks gave me piece of mind with my luggage going through several different airlines and handlers. IiI wanted a hard case, lockable piece of luggage that was large enough to handle enough clothing for a long stay roughly 50 lbs, had rollers that actually worked and small enough to get through an airport without a lot of trouble.

I absolutely love my Samsonite Winfield 2 hardside suitcase! It’s lightweight yet sturdy, and the harsher feels durable while still looking sleek and modern. The expandable feature gives just the right amount of extra space when I need it.What really impressed me are the wheels-so smooth and effortless to maneuver! The 360 swivel makes it incredibly easy to pull in any direction, even through crowded airports or tight spaces.It glides like a dream, and the handle extends and locks into place with. No issues. Perfect for both short trips and longer vacations. Definitely worth the investment!

We travel frequently & have had this luggage for several years. It has held up & we haven’t had any problems. Also love the stylish look
