LUGGEX Zipperless Checked Suitcase, Aluminum Frame, Ocean Blue, 28" | Checked Luggage, 100% PC Hard Shell, 8010S Aluminum Frame, 8 Spinner Wheels, TSA Lock, Hard Shell, ZX-Core

I wanted to use these before I wrote a review. I travelled Germany for 7 weeks, 3,500+ miles, 50 trains… and I was NOT gentle with this luggage.I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am with my choice. I purchased several brands before deciding on Luggex—and this was hands down the BEST decision.I had this suitcase maxed out weight-wise. Traveling alone much of the time meant I was constantly lifting, pulling, and yes… even throwing it on and off trains because I had more than one bag. Some days I didn’t even have the energy to carry it up and down stairs, so it literally bumped down step by step with me. I was worried the stairs would ruin my suitcase, but it was perfectly fine!!! The suitcase is incredibly durable.And the wheels? AMAZING. They held up to EVERYTHING.They handled every surface I came across. Cobblestone? No problem. Although I will say… in Köln (Cologne), the cobblestones were EXTRA 😂 so I had to put my back into it and pull!It rolled smoothly across platforms, elevators, stairs, and everything in between.It also went on and off escalators easily, which was a huge deal when traveling alone. My carry on sat on top and strapped easily to the pull up handle. i am 6’ 2” and the handle was a perfect length for me.I brought a spare wheel but never needed it. The shocks did their job perfectly. After 7 weeks of serious use, the wheels still looked great, just normal scuffs and scratches (see pic).Security was another huge plus.No zippers to puncture, just a solid aluminum frame with two TSA-approved locks. I felt completely comfortable leaving it in the train luggage areas while I went to the bathroom or restaurant car. I also used a retractable locking cable for extra peace of mind.The medium size fit easily in the overhead racks on German trains.About the frame … I tried other hard-shell suitcases without aluminum frames, and they all felt floppy and “soft.” With my hip injury, I needed something I could sit on if necessary. The company didn’t officially recommend it, but I had to try it and it was SOLID .I used it as a seat multiple times throughout my trip. Even my 6’10”, 300 lb son sat on his with no issue. The frame is no joke!! Seriously strong and well-built.I researched, shopped online and off and these are truly the most durable suitcase you can get at this price point!Bottom line:I am SO happy with this purchase. We now own four different sizes and I am buying a set for my husband.I’ve included a video of it rolling over different surfaces in Bad Honnef, regular cobblestones, the horribly bumpy ones in Cologne and down the stairs at the Cathedral. The wheel photo shows their condition AFTER the full 7-week trip. Even after sitting on them, a lot, the shock is in perfect condition.

I bought the 28” Luggex suitcase in charcoal. I love a good suitcase (call me weird) but I’m also too intelligent to dump $2000+ into a glorified clothes box and act like a pretty box somehow means I’m more valuable than others. AllThat to say that I really do want a quality suitcase but I’m also value-conscious. I bought this one after spending a ton of time reading reviews and still wasn’t sure what I would get. No matter which suitcase you check out you’re going to find the “this is the best one ever” reviews and the “do not buy” ones, but this is the one I went with.Sorry so much preamble.The good:Loaded this sucker up FULL with 51 lbs (23.5kg) of stuff, mainly clothes but some books as well, and checked it in. It then survived six weeks of flights and transfers and in & out of truck beds going from Texas to Papua New Guinea and back, with a lot of additional flights inbetween. United, Asiana and Virgin airlines are pretty good with bags. JetStar was okay. Air Niugini must literally throw the bags out of the aircraft and then jump on them. Seriously. Of our three checked suitcases (three different brands) only this one survived unscathed. It came through with some scuffs - basically perfect. The wheels are all still intact and working quietly. The case itself looks good, no cracks or dents, it opens and closes properly and I don’t find any loose rivets or other damage. The latches and hinges still function correctly and nicely.For comparison, suitcase ‘B’ was so smashed after just one Air Niugini flight I was afraid it wouldn’t get us home: caved in side, major cracks in two sides, front permanently creased, and the aluminum frame broke in two places. Suitcase ‘C’ had two broken-off wheels, one corner caved in and cracked through, and white crease marks across the front where it had bent. Neither of those will ever make another trip. The Luggex looks good - like it actually looks good. The other two are filthy and scuffed and you say, “dude, those things are finished”. This one you look at and say “huh…probably could wipe it down with a damp cloth and remove that sticker residue, huh?” I’m massively impressed Extra impressed because it went all the same places as the other two bags but this one just looks a bit dirty and those two are ruined. I will absolutely buy another Luggex.13 flights, 16 different terminals, vans, truck beds, stairs, gravel, pouring rain, plus the tender care of Air Niugini…this one wins, for me.

Great sturdy luggage. Wheels are great and it seems tough! Is bigger than I imagined. Can easily pack it heavier than 50lbs.

I did not see an option to contact the seller directly, so I’m leaving a review instead. I ordered 3, and 2 were delivered in great condition. One of them looks like something crushed into the top smearing and rubbing off the handle finish.The cases themselves are great. I love the straps and zippered compartments. I like that they come with TSA locking latches (I had to buy aftermarket ones for my Pelican Air 1615 case which was annoying).I’m mainly using them to transport my electronics on a move overseas. The important parts are traveling with me as carryon or in the Pelican case. But I have a lot of studio and pc gear that I don’t want to replace that I packed into these cases with some 1/2 inch sheet foam to line the edges and walls and generic pick and pluck foam to secure the items. Anyway, this would be 5 stars if not for the one arriving damaged. I don’t have time to replace it as I fly out in less than a week.

Luggage survived it's first airport trips with no problem. Carried over 49lbs of clothes without breaking or dents. Rolled easily over multiple surfaces with no issues. Best Luggage I have ever owned.

This thing looks great. It rolls so smoothly. It's lightweight. The thing that drew me to this luggage initially was how both sides have mechanisms to restrain their contents. One side has a full zipper. The other side has a really strong restraining strap with a shield. This prevents anything from tumbling out when the suitcase is opened.

I just came back from a trip using this carry on case for the first time. Perfect size for a short four day stay. Wheels are excellent and roll effortlessly and smooth. I like the fact that it uses latches and not zippers on the outside. Locks on the latches are TSA compliant and very easy to change the combination when necessary. It’s a hard case and fits in the overhead bins on passenger jets. My brother liked it so much that he is going to order one for himself as well.

This should be listed as an almost carry on. Or a hope and prayer carry on. USA domestic standard is 22x14x9 - wheels to handle, etc. This one is over that. Close but not quite. If you’re forced to put it in a sizer at the gate it will fail. If you have a forgiving gate agent - maybe. Other notables, built sturdy- curved sides make it appear smaller. Solid latches. Smooth wheels. Telescoping handle is a little flimsy but not too bad. Well thought out interior with standard hardware. It’s a sturdy no zipper bag. Will keep it knowing it’s a checker. Got it on sale. Now if only the airlines would quit with silly size/charging for everything restrictions and make air travel less of an ordeal.

This was exactly what I was looking for! Lots of room for packing, fits in the overhead bin perfectly! The wheels glide very smoothly which helps because the handle might be a little flimsy! I still have it a five because I love it…..

Muy mala calidad, los cerrojos se vencen en menos de 5 viajes, los materiales son muy deficientes y además se rompen con extrema facilidad aún siendo una maleta de cabina

La pieza que se extiende para manipular la maleta esta muy endeble, esta muy floja, esperamos que aguante los viajes!

Me gustó mucho, solo que si llevas muchas cosas le cuesta trabajo cerrar.

La calidad de esta maleta es excelente, falta probarla pronto tendré un viaje ya veremos como se comporta.
