Samsonite Aeris

i love my aeris 75 – i've owned and travelled with one of these cases for over 5 years. i was at the time looking for a hard sided suitcase that locked closed without zippers, mainly for security. i was also looking for a 4 wheeled spinner type case that can be towed behind me or walked along side me. well, the travel i do has been mainly japan, where huge train stations have smooth polished granite floors and this case performs beautifully, and walking to hotels over foothpaths and street crossings is fine too.

i have read that the fail point of a wheeled suitcase happens in airport luggage handling, where the wheels which protrude from the body of the suitcase can be broken off(which could definaelty spoil your entire trip if ur moving about a lot with ur suitcase), so at the time i purchased i also ordered a set of wheels, and when i travel these come with me with the necessary tools to replace, but i have never has any problem so far with the original wheels.

i get a few looks in ultrafashionable japan, people look at my suitcase as i am towing it behind me. i would buy another one of these if i needed to, there is not much else around that catches my eye aside from the $1000+ rimowa ally case, which actually might attract too much attention and make me a target for thieves reliable, secure, strong, looks smart, extension handle is also used to lift the full weight of the bag, seems ok so far but could be a fail point in future
