Flagged as a product to avoid

1 of 12 research runs entered this as a product to avoid rather than a pick.

Its thin polycarbonate shell is a known cracker under repeated checked-bag abuse, and the warranty will not make you whole after an airline crushes it. The American Tourister Stratum XLT gives the same parent-company ownership story with better value, or step up to the Travelpro Maxlite 5.

This lightweight line offers heavyweight protection riding on effortless 360 spinner wheels. Don't pull your case; let Omni PC roll comfortably beside you on your journey. Design includes expansion for added capacity when needed. TSA locks ensure your belongings arrive safely to your destination. Extremely lightweight and visually impactful, this collection takes 100% polycarbonate design to the next level. Hardside Care: To clean hardside luggage, we recommend using a gentle soap and warm water, rinsing well. If you would like to wax the case after cleaning, any good silicone-base automobile or furniture polish will preserve the luster and add resistance to the covering. We do NOT recommend, however, that you try to clean the luggage with a combination cleaner-polish.

Although we weren’t blown away by some of the individual features on this case, such as the lack of padding on the carry handle, there’s no denying that this collection is excellent value for the money. The telescopic handle is smooth to use, and the interior has a couple of compartments and pockets to stay organized.
