Travelpro Platinum Elite Hardside Expandable Checked Suitcase, 8 Wheel Spinner, TSA Lock, Hard Shell Polycarbonate Suitcase, Shadow Black, Checked Large 77x46x35 cm

I bought this item in 2023 and have used it approx 9 times, often with more than 50 pounds in it. On my most recent trip (weighing abt 54 lbs) it arrived with damage to the backside (see pic). We taped it up with Gorilla tape so I could get it home. On the trip home it had about 40 pounds in it and arrived without incident. I filed a claim with Travelpro and wasn't sure it would work because the claim site only discussed damage to zippers, handles and wheels. But Travelpro replaced it without further question - I only had to pay $25 for shipping. Seriously, best luggage company ever.

A truly remarkable piece of luggage that lives up to its reputation.

This is my first large Travelpro, purchased to replace a hard-shell large suitcase which finally died because a handle broke making it a bear to lift. This suitcase is fantastic. My previous 2 Travelpro are both overhead carry-on types....a soft side 2-wheel and a hard shell 4-wheel which is very similar in design to this unit, just smaller. I have both those Travelpro's in rotation, use them often, and love them. Once I got the 4-wheel carryon, I have to admit it is pretty cool versus the 2 wheel drag-behind. I am a convert. Anyway, this large Travelpro is a great suitcase. We wanted large volume, hard side, easy maneuvering. Well, this thing has a huge amount of space and it is amusing how far it rolls with barely a push. I have traveled with multiple motorcycle helmets and jackets in it, no problem. My daughter and I used it for ski/snowboard gear (boots, helmets)....any big awkward stuff which didn't easily fit into our ski bag roller. Through poor planning (my fault) we ended up in Denver Airport for 6 hours before we could check bags. We ended up setting the ski bag (heavy with skis, snowboard, boots, etc.) on top of this case.....like the Travelpro was a luggage cart. It worked fantastic, rolling smoothly with the extra weight. It made the 6hr roaming the airport a little easier. Thank you Travelpro. We have had this large case on I think 8 RT flights so far, so 16 flights? It is holding up great and continues to roll well and it looks good, too. Very happy with the purchase, another Travelpro winner.

Poignée ajustable à plusieurs hauteur, roulement sur 8 roues qui maintien bien la valise en ligne droite et une belle finition durable.

After only two vacations of use the inferior metal casting that is the zipper pull AND locking mechanism, has succumbed to failure. It is now extremely difficult to open and close the zipper. Of course the suitcase can not be locked completely as designed. Additional exterior straps had to be purchased to help insure suitcase closure. The design engineers need to rethink this RAISED and exposed locking method. And the weak metal alloy. Too easy for getting hung up on surrounding items when in transit. Baggage handlers do not "handle with care".
