very large suitcase for a 2-3-week vacation: here really fit a lot in! The material is soft plastic, it is highly flexible and thereby insensitive to pollution. In addition, the case as almost all hard-shell case offers the advantage that both halves can be packed separately and thus there is more order. The two roles that are mostly integrated in the body, to make a long lasting impression and cause especially that the case does not appear even bigger. The telescopic handle makes a little rickety and cheap impression, but will also keep well hopefully. The girth of 171 cm is a bit over the sometimes prescribed limit of 158 cm; this limit is but fortunately so far hardly regularly checked at the baggage drop. But now to the 2 preventable defects, for each I may depart a star (use the Samsonite engineers actually their bags yourself?): - The case has top not handle! The telescopic handle is above rickety and therefore not a replacement; He is also attached to the outside, so that you the suitcase and it can not carry vertically when times one step or something gets in the way. - The luggage net that holds the contents of the cover, has at the sides large gaps. Smaller garments or parts thereof (sweater sleeves, etc.) can slip out and therefore make it difficult to close. Why can not complete the network complete with a zipper, as is the case in other Samsonite suitcases? All in all, the case ok, I can unfortunately not pronounce a buy recommendation. For the price of the suitcase at least one defect has unfortunately too much.
