7272 Energie Hardside

My wife and I have a larger set of luggage from this company and have used them several times flying to Alaska and Texas and hold up well through TSA as well as other driving trips.This suitcase was needed because the trip wasn't a need for the larger suitcase and a backpack was to small.So this fills the spot were the 27" is to large and like my wife's 19" or a backpack would be to small.

This might be the best suitcase I've owned. It's been through several flights and shows no damage. The TSA locks work well and it's very easy to roll around.

Great case! I have bought a second it worked out so well!

Be aware the Swiss Gear warranty is very complicated to process. I have sent dozens of emails which take months for a response. Swiss Brands does not do any repair work - they only offer a discount on a new purchase. I have spent over eight months sending photos, removing product labels and sending via priority mail with tracking only to get a 15% discount on a newly purchased suitcase (the one I owned suffered a broken handle so was not usable). The suitcase was less than a year old when the handle broke apart.

Been using this for years. I prefer heard-side luggage, and especially appreciate the expandability here. I have the carryon & medium checked bag, planning on the large checked bag for a big trip.Don’t use the power port in the carry-on as much as I’d expected.PROsVery rugged and sturdy. Wheels very smooth and strong. Glides like butter through airports & ship gangways.Packs and organizes well.Sturdy zippers pulls easily lock in the tsa hardware, keeping them from snagging or loosening.Easy id on the carousel (GOLD!)CONsNo outside pockets for electronics.Surface not good for travel stickers. 🙁

I have both the carry-on version and the 24" checked version. After a lifetime of mis-matched luggage it was time to have a nice set! I like that these have the 8 wheels instead of just the 4 for durability. I like the built in TSA lock. I also like the interior storage that comes built-in with these cases; which is helpful if you're moving from location to location frequently during a vacation. I expect that the carry-on version will last a very long time, but I'm not sure about the checked one. There is no grab handle for the base and the case itself isn't light. You won't want to overload the 24"+ sizes or it's going to get damaged.My main complaint is that the case arrived filthy from sitting in a dirty warehouse. It also arrived slightly "used" from someone who chose to return it. People, if you are going to return an item, put it back the way you received it. Someone else is likely going to get your "used" item in the condition you returned it. Failure to do so means that the karma gods are going to make the wheels fall off you luggage from henceforth.

Good quality . I tested it with my trip to Japan and it is very sturdy.

Excellent luggage set. Very well made and elegant.
