For the features and durability offered by this bag, it's a great product. The 360 degree spinning wheels let you pull this in any direction without having to tip it over. While this is too large to carry on, if you are planning on checking bags anyway this one is almost the perfect size to get most of your key stuff inside for a two week trip. <br /> <br />STORAGE AND FEATURES <br /> <br />The interior has the standard main compartment as well as a mesh cargo area in the lid. The front of the bag has extra storage compartments to allow you to store a few items. There is also a small area to expand the capacity with a zipper, though based upon the size of this bag that is almost always expanded on mine. <br /> <br />The large main storage compartment is really the key to this bag. It is missing some extras like a garment storage feature many more expensive bags have started to add, even to this style of luggage. Still, that's a trade off I will take for a bigger interior. <br /> <br />The outside is made of a high durability fabric which has held up to me taking it all over. But even though it's not a hard shell case, it feels very sturdy and has to have some kind of reinforcement. The result is that the shell of the bag is very thin and allows you to use almost the fully capacity of the bag's internal area for storage. <br /> <br />The only drawback to this bag is that it does tend to tip over when fully loaded. Even though you can't see it clearly in the picture, the bag is slightly wider at the base than at the top. It's still not enough to fully load this guy without the risk of it tipping forward, so I tend to leave the front of the bag propped up against the wall when it's fully loaded. <br /> <br />PROS: <br />+ Perfect capacity for checked baggage <br />+ Spinner wheels rotate 360 degrees and let you move the bag in any direction with ease <br />+ Nice quality fabric is reinforced (I think) for light durability <br />+ Nice extra storage compartments <br />+ Large interior storage capacity <br />+ The metal handle can be extended to short or long lengths <br />+ The cloth handles are strong enough to lift it even when full <br /> <br />CONS: <br />- Steep price - this isn't budget luggage <br />- Does tip forward when top heavy <br />- Missing some higher end extras such as "Garment storage" <br />- When overstuffed, the zipper can stick a little <br /> <br />Conclusion <br /> <br />This is a good durable bag for general travel needs. This will fit a nice amount of stuff so that, hopefully, this will be the only bag you need for trips up to a few weeks. Then again, some people pack more than others. Despite the cloth fabric, this bag has held up well for me and is very durable. Just try to load the heavier items in the base and watch out for it tipping forward. <br /> <br />Enjoy! <br /> The American Tourister Spinner is a great bag as great as has turn a square of luggage which we operate a most for ubiquitous travel. For a facilities as great as continuance offering by this bag, it’s a great product. The 360 grade spinning wheels let we lift this in any citation but carrying to tip it over. While this is as great vast to lift on, if we have been formulation upon checking bags any way this a single is roughly a undiluted distance to get most of your pass things inside for a dual week trip.

STORAGE AND FEATURES

The interior has a customary categorical cell as great as a filigree bucket area in a lid. The front of a bag has additional storage compartments to concede we to store a couple of items. There is additionally a tiny area to enhance a genius with a zipper, yet formed upon a distance of this bag which is roughly regularly stretched upon mine.

The vast categorical storage cell is unequivocally a pass to this bag. It is blank a little extras similar to a mantle storage underline most some-more costly bags have proposed to add, even to this character of luggage. Still, that’s a traffic off we will take for a bigger interior.

The outward is done of a tall continuance fabric which has hold up to me receiving it all over. But even yet it’s not a tough bombard case, it feels really stout as great as has to have a little kind of reinforcement. The outcome is which a bombard of a bag is really skinny as great as allows we to operate roughly a entirely genius of a bag’s inner area for storage.

The usually obstacle to this bag is which it does lend towards to tip over when entirely loaded. Even yet we can’t see it obviously in a picture, a bag is somewhat wider during a bottom than during a top. It’s still not sufficient to entirely bucket this man but a risk of it tipping forward, so we lend towards to leave a front of a bag propped up opposite a wall when it’s entirely loaded.

PROS:

+ Perfect genius for checked baggage

+ Spinner wheels stagger 360 degrees as great as let we pierce a bag in any citation with ease

+ Nice peculiarity fabric is reinforced (I think) for light continuance

+ Nice additional storage compartments

+ Large interior storage capacity

+ The steel hoop can be lengthened to reduced or prolonged lengths

+ The fine fine cloth handles have been clever sufficient to lift it even when full

CONS:

- Steep cost – this isn’t bill luggage

- Does tip brazen when tip heavy

- Missing a little aloft finish extras such as “Garment storage”

- When overstuffed, a zipper can hang a little

Conclusion

This is a great permanent bag for ubiquitous travel needs. This will fit a good volume of things so that, hopefully, this will be a usually bag we need for trips up to a couple of weeks. Then again, a little people container some-more than others. Despite a fine fine cloth fabric, this bag has hold up great for me as great as is really durable. Just try to bucket a heavier equipment in a bottom as great as watch out for it tipping forward.

Enjoy!

A vivid blue, it is easy to spot on the luggage carousel. The spinning wheels are amazing and the suitcase traveled effortlessly through the airport. It is quite light and deceptively compact. It holds a considerable amount of luggage and has convenient pockets. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, I can only give it two stars as the flimsy metal handle broke on its maiden voyage (a flight from Colorado to New York). This was a major inconvenience as the suitcase was fully packed and heavy and I landed at a small airport with minimal amenities (such as carts). This may be a product flaw as I have a larger version which did the exact same thing. However that occurred after two or three years of very heavy use and some extremely rough handling in airports. This is not cheap luggage and I was quite annoyed. So despite a number of positive attributes, I cannot recommend this product. I was primarily utterly tender with this suitcase. A clear blue, it is easy to mark upon a luggage carousel. The spinning wheels have been extraordinary as well as a container trafficked facilely by a airport. It is utterly light as well as deceptively compact. It binds a substantial volume of luggage as well as has available pockets.

Unfortunately, we can usually give it dual stars as a groundless steel hoop pennyless upon a lass excursion (a moody from Colorado to New York). This was a vital nuisance as a container was entirely packaged as well as complicated as well as we landed during a tiny airfield with minimal comforts (such as carts). This might be a product smirch as we have a incomparable chronicle which did a expect same thing. However which occurred after dual or 3 years of really complicated operate as well as a little intensely severe doing in airports. This is not poor luggage as well as we was utterly annoyed. So notwithstanding a series of certain attributes, we cannot suggest this product.

The airline handlers have not managed to destroy them yet. I have been thru many luggage sets and individual bags, expensive, and economical, and these have held up as good or better than the ones I paid more for. I would recommend to anyone who travels much, get the bags with Spinner wheels, I am a 5'2" woman in her 50s and I can roll in 2 of these with no problem.
