CALDARIUS Suitcase Set | Hard Shell Suitcase | Lightweight | with Combination Lock | 4 Dual Spinner Wheels | Travel Bag, Luggage Sets, (3 Piece Full Set) (Black)

Product Information

We found it's very easy to overpack these bags far beyond that weight limit, so perhaps keep a scale handy while you pack. On top of that, This Pelican Air case has skate wheels, which make transport super easy, especially with a heavy load… And there is also the really wide wheel handle, which makes the luggage feel lighter than it actually is.

Its wheels trundled quietly across all surfaces and its ergonomic, telescopic towing handle extended well to suit a range of heights. In a test, Merax has driven over their suitcase with a truck (we haven’t confirmed this ourselves) and claims it is super strong and durable. This luggage also has an expandable capacity, plenty of internal pockets, and a TSA-approved lock on the top. A rucksack makes more sense if you’re travelling long-term or venturing off-road, where uneven ground makes it difficult to wheel a suitcase along. So, if a shorter life span is acceptable for your needs, this strikingly affordable and well-sized four-wheel suitcase will do the trick.We packed the same set of clothes and gear in each to compare their storage and organizational capacity. In general, four-wheeled spinner options are ideal for smooth, hard surfaces since they can pivot and spin around any obstacle. Several of those in our lineup actually have eight wheels, two at every corner connected by an axle. Made for the mountains, it's no wonder this duffel-cum-suitcase proved sturdy on test; it came through our drop, curb and stair tests almost entirely unscathed. The Merax suitcases are kind of unique, in terms of the materials used in its shell – they make use of a light, yet durable PET, whereas most use ABS or polycarbonate.

Four-wheeled suitcases are the easiest type to manoeuvre, but two-wheeled suitcases can be cheaper and tend to be a little lighter and less bulky. Blossom enjoys delving into the intricacies of products and refining testing protocols for hundreds of items. HARD-SHELL BUILD: Embrace the benefits of robust ABS construction, as these hardshell suitcases combine appealing aesthetics with enduring strength.

Unfortunately, our water-resistance test disappointed, with moisture soaking through the exterior pocket and leaking through its centre. So, I think that if a suitcase is durable enough for a stewardess, then it has to be durable enough for you. It is not only really durable, but also reasonably lightweight – in fact, the 22” Framelock weighs in at just a little over 8 lbs, which is awesome, and also means it makes a great carry-on luggage option. Impressively, their protective caps were the only part of the case that got damaged during our drop test, and this didn’t impact wheeling it along. The winners are the ones that scored the best and the ones we would recommend to our own friends and family.

Other all-around well-built options include the Timbuk2 Copilot, Away, Eagle Creek Cargo Hauler, and Patagonia Black Hole. As with many other four-wheeled suitcases we tested, this Samsonite spinner is not built for mixed or off-road terrain. Other two-wheeled options that came close include the Osprey Sojourn Shuttle 100L, The North Face Base Camp Voyager, and the Eagle Creek ORV. But, as we all know, your luggage will also come across cracked sidewalks, steep curbs, and gravel-laden pavement.They must be spacious enough for all your holiday essentials, durable enough to survive baggage handling and light enough when empty to pack everything you need without exceeding your airline's weight limit.

Now, you also notice the TSA latch locks and the interior of the suitcase is well lined and easy to pack and organize. However, it suffered a few bumps and dents on test and, despite its waterproof claims, a little moisture soaked through the top. This is an excellent option for the frequent flyer who likes to easily see and access what's in their luggage.If those don’t quite fit the bill, then you’ll find a wider selection of luggage types reviewed a little further down the page. Unlike most similar clamshell-style suitcases, this one has both sides covered with a zippered mesh panel — so nothing spills as you open it — along with a couple of additional mesh pockets for interior organization. The lining is water-resistant, so although the zip absorbed water in our rain simulation, nothing inside was wet. COMFORTABLE LIFTING HANDLES: CALDARIUS Suitcases feature soft grip lifting handles on the side and top, enhancing convenience even when the suitcases are fully packed.
