Samsonite Flux - Spinner S Expandable Hand Luggage, 55 cm, 44 L, Black

Product Information

The Flux suitcaseswere actually made for the UK market – the US already has a really similar Samsonite collection. That’s actually the Freeform collection, with the nearly identical exterior, but some key differentiating features. Less likely to snap off: because the 2- wheels are set into the case you won't find baggage handlers using the wheels as handles when they are getting your bag on of off the aircraft. Oh, and even the luggage doesn’t have a proper grab handle at the bottom, there is a hollow space that you can hold onto when trying to place it in an overhead compartment. The Main Compartment Sometimes only a huge suitcase will do — and this rolling duffel case from premium luggage maker, Briggs & Riley, fits the bill perfectly. This case from Aerolite is extremely light, and extremely affordable, two things we think are very important. It features four robust wheels and a double-tube retractable trolley grip handle, which make it simple to glide around the airport in any direction. It all feels very well made, despite its affordable price.

The Samsonite Flux luggage collection features four hard side suitcases, only one of which is carry-on sized. All four of the suitcases have the exact same features, so the only thing you need to worry about is which size is right for you.

The shell won’t break easily, but it is not as flexible as a PC. Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules on what constitutes a carry-on case; different airlines have different size and weight limits and what might be acceptable on one airline won’t be on another. The benefit of spinner wheels is that you don’t have to tilt your suitcase to get them rolling, unlike with in-line skate wheels. This removes any strain from your arm and makes it much easier to move around with a really heavy piece of luggage. On top of that, spinner wheels can move in any direction, which means you can push the suitcase in front of you or just drag it alongside you if you want. The Fluxis equipped with four double spinner wheels. They are smooth and silent like good spinner wheels should be. Here’s why; polycarbonate is the most durable out of all these. It bends upon impact, which means that your suitcase can literally take a beating and the shell won’t break. But it is also the heaviest of the three materials, so it’s not really the best option if you’re looking to stay under a particular weight limit.

Its capacity is expandable, and the expansion zipper is hidden – perfect for keeping your belongings secure. So, choose wisely. Consider the kind of tips you most often go on and get a suitcase that you can use for almost everyone. Don’t grab the largest one just because you don’t own a giant suitcase – it will wind up taking space in your closet, instead of accompanying you on your trips. Suitcase Materials And Durability The handles are also plastic, and they are very sturdy and durable.They are riveted onto the suitcase, and it would take a lot of effort to rip them off the body. And I do mean a lot. That’s less likely to happen with smaller suitcases. And 99 liters is still plenty of space even for longer trips. Also, keep in mind that these have an expandable capacity – even if you end up buying a lot of items on your trip, you will have extra space for them in your luggage. Meaning that if your suitcase gets damaged in the first five years you own it, you can send it to Samsonite for free repairs. And if they can’t repair it, they will send you a brand new one.

Hard or rigid cases are usually made from polycarbonate or ABS plastic. In theory, they offer better protection for fragile items and can withstand a reasonable level of abuse without damage, although some glossy-finished cases can get scratched all too easily. There are some manufacturers who offer guarantees that include damage caused by airlines, for example Briggs & Riley and certain products by Victorinox. Before the introduction of 2-wheel suitcases you had to carry your luggage, so lets raise a glass to celebrate this invention! While 4-wheel cases have become more popular over recent years, 2-wheelers are still a great option especially for a cabin case. When you’re buying a case, you obviously need to think about why you're buying it, and what you’re going to use it for – you’re clearly not going to want to take a massive case with you if you’re going on an overnight business trip or a weekend away; but likewise you won’t want a tiny case when you’re off for a month in Kathmandu.
