This suitcase doesn’t expand, so you can't overpack it. The Details: 12.1 pounds | 31.3 x 17 x 13.7 inches | 107-liter capacity | 4 spinner wheels This was also the most durable piece of Away luggage we’ve tested - it barely scuffed or scratched after we dropped it off a table and hit it with a baseball bat multiple times. Even though the trunk weighs around 12 pounds, it felt light enough to roll around tight corners, crowds, and over rough surfaces seamlessly, the wheels rolling like a dream whether we rolled it on four or two wheels. Your stuff won’t get lost in the large compartment either because you can use the zippered pockets on the dividers to store undergarments, socks, or toiletries. It’s easy to pack thanks to its deep main compartment, while you can place smaller items in the slim top lid - just make sure to evenly distribute the weight around the bag so it doesn’t feel lopsided. If you’re a fan of traveling with trunks, this one from Away is more easy to maneuver than any other trunk we’ve tested. If you don’t pack each side evenly, it can feel a bit lopsided. The Details: 11.5 pounds | 28 x 19.75 x 12.5 inches | Expandable | 4 spinner wheels Overall, the Samsonite Winfield hit all the marks for an exceptional checked suitcase for all kinds of travelers. And finally, this bag falls on the lower side of the mid-market price range, making it a reasonably affordable investment.

The suitcase also has a smooth maneuverability over a variety of surfaces, including carpet and gravel. While the bag sustained no major damage like dents or gashes when we dropped it off tables and hit it with a baseball bat, it did scuff slightly, which was our only critique. It's exceptionally durable and breezed through our strenuous testing with hardly a scratch - the polycarbonate is designed to flex slightly to absorb impacts before popping back to its original form. Working our way from the outside in, the bag has a sleek polycarbonate exterior that comes in a variety of colors.

Various types of sliders are available depending on use. The slider joins or separates the elements when the zipper is opened or closed.
