For a case this large, I found having 4 wheels made life much easier vs 2 wheels when wheeling the case in airports and up/down ramps. The true test will be how this suitcase wears after several trips (I've had my old, smaller 2 wheel Antler case for years, but it was too small and heavy for this trip), but it was ideal for this particular holiday. I have a hard shell carry-on and a suit carrier bought in 1996 that refuse to die and still look good. If you have only ever pulled your cases along, then the ability to push them and navigate around crowded airports will be a game-changer. This is a premium brand and the case is quite expensive but you do get a smart and well-designed bag for your money.

The mesh of the inner top compartment has come slightly undone, but that's not a big problem and was probably my fault. Add front pockets, TSA compatible combination locks and telescoping handles – and these spinners will last you for years. This makes a great opportunity to grab a top-performing suitcase from a big name brand with a good discount in time for your summer holidays. The exterior pocket provides additional luggage space for any baggage which must be quickly accessible while travelling. The model performs excellently when it comes to the most important features of a suitcase: it offers plenty of storage space and is very light.With a soft carry handle on the side and a second one on the top, the suitcase can also be carried comfortably. When it comes to hand luggage, having plenty of storage space and low weight is very important so you have plenty of space for luggage and don’t reach the specified weight limit for hand luggage so quickly. With high quality hardware and made from trendy looking materials with a two-tone appeal, this 66cm Medium Expandable Suitcase also offers an expandable 67. Really, testers didn’t find much to dislike about this suitcase, although it did disappoint somewhat during our water-resistant tests, with some moisture leaking through the exterior pocket. This is a smart-looking cabin bag designed for budget airlines which operate strict limits on the size of cabin bags.

The volume of sizes M and L can even be expanded, meaning the size can be flexibly adjusted while travelling. In addition to the main compartment, there is additional storage space at the front and in a mesh pocket.Scoring 81/100, this soft shell case was named the GHI’s best expandable model and the lightest soft shell option. litres, it’s a good choice for longer getaways; you’ll have more than enough space for a full two weeks away.
