Samsonite Lite -Shock - Spinner M Suitcase, 69 cm, 73 l, Black (Black)

An excellent lightweight suitcase. It's has a semi-hardshell case, flexible but resistant. Simple design with a zip closure and one interior compartment. Good quality wheels and handle. So far it has stood up well to the rigour of baggage handlers.

I've now bought the 81cm, 73cm and 69cm cases. I've used Samsonite for about 10 years previously and love the robustness - and the fact that if something breaks, they fix it (twice now). I upgraded to these because of weight. I live by two travel luggage rules. 1) If you can't fit it into one case (airline weight allowance considered), you're doing something wrong. 2) Obeying rule 1, it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it! So in short I travel "light" but not light. So many evenings before a trip I've weight my case and had to shave some weight off or wonder "How much leeway do they give you at check-in? Is 10% too much?). I can honestly say, these things are ridiculously light. I literally have supermarket bags for life that are heavier (empty)! OK I've exaggerated there but not by much. Seriously though, since owning these, I've never had that pre-flight dilemma over what to dump. If you're a regular traveller these are for you. They're bloody expensive if you're not, but even then, if money is no object, go for it. Every now and then you take a chance and buy something functional that exceeds expectations, and this/these are one of them. Light and worryingly flexible but seemingly very robust. They zoom round the airport with the turning circle of a London taxi. After 4 long haul and 3 short haul trips in less than a year, they're surprisingly pristine. Yes they're expensive and for many would not represent value for money. For me, they just about deliver that too. Especially when I recall the time I was charged £50 by Tui for being 1.2kg over my allowance.

Item as described and from Samsonite as always good quality

This is the lightest and easiest case I have owned. I’ve struggled to use the lock on it but have put a small lock myself, thought it felt flimsy but it is not. Because it’s light you can fit more clothes in the case, it might be a bit more expensive than other cases but in my opinion it’s well worth it.

Our Samsonite suitcase - purchased here - has not seen that much usage but somehow the locking mechanism has jammed and does not respond to the digital code anymore !! Where / how can I get this fixed ? Beyond disappointed as this is sold as a superior brand and had expected so much more ! The case looks lovely and is exceptionally light but without being able to confidently close it up - it’s useless !!! I live in Surrey so any help would be appreciated - so far Samsonite have not been at all helpful by just telling me to take to any retailer - nobody will touch it ! HELP ! This was supposed to be an investment piece …..

Grat extremely light suitcase.

Bit Expensive, but very light and Manoeuvrable. Probably not the strongest or most durable. Ideal for holidays when you want to make the most of your baggage allowance.

I had the older version of this case for just over ten years. It quite literally traveled the world with me, and wore more battle scars than any case I've ever know. Various airport baggage handlers had tried their best with it, and sometimes I retrieved it from baggage carousels with huge dents that would just push out. It had a great life, achieved amazing airline miles and looked fantastic. Then one day, packing up to return from the US, the handle jammed. It would go all the way in, but not pull out. The mechanism had broken, given up. It was no longer possible for me to trundle my suitcase in any easy way, and sadly I realised that it was time for it to retire. He's not been dumped, just relegated to the loft as storage. So this lite-shock is the replacement. It's been to the US, Belgium and Dubai so far. Just as good as the old one - but with one massive improvement: Silent wheels!

Niezwykle lekka i solidna walizka.

endlich habe ich die richtige größe der koffer hat mich in die wüste begleitet, ist praktisch, macht einen stabilen eindruck und ich finde ihn schnell auf dem gepäckband (habe auch noch zwei gekreuzte breite klebebänder vorne und hinten draufgeklebt). mit einem dicken schwarzen filzstift lässt er sich gut beschriften und individualisieren ...

product is not a good quality

Rubber bending is torn in 1st voyage itself. The wheels are not performing well when weight is not more then 23kg.
