A few months into testing and the only noticeable issue we've seen is the outer surface is easily scuffed and has some worn spots. But everything else is fine and our testers report it still rolls and maneuvers very well. This one is my favourite of the two designs. IT Luggage have removed the ridges, replacing them with curved areas which stand out from the main case. This gives a tough, rugged overall look – though in a calmer way than with the ANNAMITE version. If you love the rugged looks, or simply got bored with the mundane plain old suitcase designs – then there is nothing in the spec, quality or colour options that should stop you buying.

Their pieces all share a gorgeous minimalist aesthetic that still manages to stand out in a crowd. And with their suite of products to choose from based around standard airline baggage sizing, you can get the exact shape and size of luggage you need for your next vacation. They are the kind of bags that you will find in the military, and that is the perfect choice if you know that your bag is going to be subjected to harsh climates and severe environments.These are new, so no time for people to take them on multiple trips yet. I’m anticipating excellent durability – based on the spec and rugged design. These cases are built to last a lifetime. With a molded plastic shell, water- and air-tight gaskets to protect your belongings, and a barometric relief valve to regulate the internal pressure, these bags will protect against impacts, water, dust, dirt, cabin pressure, piercing, over-zealous baggage handlers, and more. The one thing that stands out about all of the bags in the Briggs & Riley range is that they are amazingly stylish. Delsey started in France in 1946 and they originally sold leather camera cases. It was almost twenty-five years later that they delved into the world of luggage with their first hardshell case. The suitcases are designed to be the maximum allowed, both in size and weight, and each suitcase is tested well above the maximum allowed weight.

Size: Will the suitcase fit in your car boot and be easy to lug about? If you think you may struggle, look for a robust yet lightweight option. These cases are designed to last, with a build that should see them surviving even the roughest airport handling. Their journey is as eventful as yours is sure to be when you travel with Samsonite luggage. They have weathered the Great Depression, two World Wars, and lots more. They came out stronger on the other side.The suitcases were a breeze to maneuver on their 360-degree spinner wheels, and carrying The Everywhere and The Garment Bag was comfortable with the padded shoulder straps. The Garment Bag also has interior padding that keeps all of your long clothing items protected and helps to minimize wrinkles. Away is certainly not the cheapest luggage brand out there, but it's also far from the most expensive. Considering the 100-day return window, lifetime warranty, and stylish designs, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to pretty much any traveler. BRITBAG suitcases are completely different. They instantly bring thoughts of flight cases for musical instruments, with ridges, sharp angles, and a rough, rugged look. The softside models aren't the most modern-looking, and most suitcases don't come with laundry bags. Their high-quality, skillfully manufactured luggage is durable and functional, yet sleek and fashionable. Born in Denver in 1910, Samsonite has been around for a long time, and there are good reasons for that. They started with high-quality and durable products, and have been able to use over 100 years of experience to constantly improve their product line.

If you have ever traveled, and even if you have not, you have probably heard of the name, Samsonite.With a durable yet lightweight ABS shell, the Kenneth Cole Reaction Out of Bounds 28-inch spinner makes the most of your hold luggage weight allowance. It’s also easy on your wallet, coming in cheaper than many carry-ons on this list. It has molded corner guards for increased impact resistance, which we proved with extensive drop and bat tests (from which it emerged with only a few superficial scuffs). The fully lined interior looks compact from the outside but is amazingly roomy. With options in hard and softshell, you can customize to your needs, and the internal fold-out suiters help to keep your clothes organized and wrinkle-free. The unbreakable amper-free double zipper is seamless and tough, creating one of the strongest closures where you usually find the weakest point of a bag. The quality and robustness of the luggage were excellent, but it may have been the touch of Parisian style that appealed to their now-loyal customer base.

Founded in New York in 1993, Briggs & Riley set out to engineer high-quality and durable luggage that meets the requirement of the modern traveler. They offer every type of travel bag imaginable.

Detailed Review of the BRITBAG Suitcases: Sizes and Colour Options

Ridges along the angled edges make the Annamite BRITBAG luggage different to anything you’ll find. The big ‘Britbag’ (not capital letters, which IT luggage use elsewhere) also stands out.
