Samsonite Stryde 2 Hardside Expandable Luggage with Double Spinner Wheels, Medium Glider, Deep Teal

Really nice features, got the med and large in red and green. Beautiful colors. Traveled internationally wonderfully, still look new, easy to use and separate things, keeps things in on both sides well when opening, and lg square size was perfect for medical equipment (shower chair, tub handicap handles.. heavy bulky stuff!)

Very sturdy. I had the original which was slightly larger on width but the same size in length and height. The old one lasted many years and traveled all over the world. The only issue was the expander zipper would not close and the wheels started to wear down. The new one seems as well built, the lock is now at the top versus side which is nice and the handle is improved with a full rubber cover. It has just finished it's second trip and no problem. The case is made of material that is tough and can take a beating. I have not seen any major issues with scratches, though I had the black and now the silver color. Each set of wheels are tilted in on the new one which seems to provide a smoother ride. Time will tell if it will hold up as well but so far so good. One issue people may run into is the handle is wide which may prevent hanging bags on that have straps to go over the handles. A back pack is tight but fits around the handle.

I waited to review my luggage pieces until after I used them. Great experience flying with them. They held up nicely. The featured material of the luggage did actually prevent them from being marked up. Love the color and the price point is great for samsonite quality luggage. Sizes were great and met airplane standards.

Love this set! Had to get the Medium roller before they completely sell out as they no longer have them on the Samsonite website. I just wish Samsonite has the duffle bags to match. We get asked at least a handful of times wherever we go where they can find them.. I love the square luggages! Very unique, roomy and light. What’s not to love?!

Best suitcase I've ever owned. Low center of gravity eliminates tipping over when it hits bumps in the concrete at the airport, even with a heavy backpack strapped to the handle.

I absolutely adore this suitcase. It’s durable, the color is easy to find without being too loud and flashy.

I have the medium checked luggage in the slate blue colour. If I could give this 4.5 stars I would. On the plus side, it's a great size. You can pack plenty for a week (or longer if you pack light for a hot climate) with room leftover for any travel shopping - especially thanks to the expandable capabilities. Yet it's not too big to easily lift or manoeuvre in and out of trunks or up stairs. The unique shape and texture also makes it easy to spot my luggage on airport carousels and the various pockets and dividers are a godsend for storing and organising toiletries, dirty clothes and sundries. The reason I can't give it 5 stars, however, is that the exterior does show wear quite quickly. It's doesn't look totally damaged but given one of the selling points was the design minimises wear it's a bit of let down. Given I'm not that vain about the aesthetic, the bigger problem is when the handle is extended, because it's so long (compared to more portrait-shaped luggage), it can sometimes feel like you're putting strain on it when moving it around as it wobbles back and forth more than the handles on my other luggage, especially on surfaces that aren't 100 smooth. It makes me somewhat concerned about the longevity of it. But, so far it's survived 5 international return flights and being rolled across carpet, asphalt, tiles and gravel. Overall, I'm very pleased with the purchase. It's been a welcome companion on longer business trips.

Purchased 2 of these (Samsonite Stryde Hardside Glider Medium Journey, Blue Slate) as my 1st "hardshell" bags for international travel. This review is written after 9 months and 3 international trips Part of the attraction being that they are quite distinctive and easily recognized on the carousel. Despite their unusual dimensions they still fit a full height 3 part tripod diagonally though you need to take the head off and you can easily fit the full 50 pounds of luggage allowance while the dimensions suit all American carriers (and all international ones I know of) In use they have proved reliable, easy to maneuver and fairly tough (1 corner of 1 bag did get knocked in but a push from the inside restored it) and very very stable (presumably due to how low to the ground they are) Just remember which way is "up" so you don't dump the contents out when you open it. As an added bonus, they roll under the turnstiles for the MTA (NY city) subway and PATH - though they roll so well so need to be careful they don't get away from you when you do that. Can also be used to transport rack mounted gear so long as it is not more than 40cm (1' 4") deep or higher than 4U Overall very happy with them. They are not 'run over it with a truck' strong (just 'good for baggage handler' strong but that is the tradeoff you must pay for the lighter weight

Excellent design and quality. Delivered ahead of expected / advised date.

The size and design of this suitcase was great for traversing the cobblestones and hills of Portugal. Highly recommend it.

Es una maleta que cumple todo las expectativas, súper, tiene lo más cómodo posible y está distribuidos, lo recomiendo

A voir à l’usage à l’aéroport mais ravie de trouver une valise de qualité, design, bien ergonomique, la forme permet de mettre une petite valise ou sac dessus pour plus d’aisance dans aéroports, gares.

Quality is very nice truly rigid durable finish looks premium ,not something found with all their cases . along with quality wheels handles zips etc A bit of research told me a Brompton would fit in this case and technically their right but only just , with some considerable force and damage to the case itself . I can’t exaggerate how tight it is . I was absolutely certain initially it wouldn’t fit to this day I’m not sure how I got the seat post in. It got my bike from London to Japan but after six weeks and several international detours it was visibly bulging and literally bursting at the zips So I would absolutely recommend it as a suitcase but it’s not a viable longterm solution for transporting a Brompton internationally discretely
