This was my first purchase of hard case luggage and I highly recommend. My husband at 6’2” liked the extendable handle. We received several compliments with the light silver color. We were weresurprised it didn’t look dirty or scuffed after going through baggage claim. The fabric set outlasted all my high name brands with no breakages of wheels or zippers (more 12 years old) so I wanted the sleek new look of the hard luggage. Flying for a 5 day trip with different climates/activities required us to check the two bigger bags and use the smaller one as a carryon. I highly recommend purchasing a portable luggage weight for the bigger piece because it’s easy to get to 50 pounds (max weight for premium economy)as it is so roomy. As a 5’6” female I was able to maneuver the large bag and small suitcase when traveling back without my husband because 0f themaneuverability. I highly recommend!
