I love the samsonite lugguge. I purchased both the carry on and the long weekender journey. Both look really stylish and hold up well during travel. The wheels are very well made and pushing both pieces is effortless. I recommend the laptop bag is well. It secured right on top of the carry on bag. The color is alittle off but the blue is in the same family.

I purchased these because they were so beautiful, and square. Caveats: Four wheels (not my preference) and the handles are of poor quality. Also, it collapses into itself while in transit. You can pop it back out, but this is not Samsonite quality.

It is stylish and easy to carry while my hands were tight with others.

Where can I buy a carrier cover? It seems that there is nowhere to sell.

Overall a nice bag that seems tough and is very unique and easy to spot. I love the low profile/center of gravity and I feel like it fits into cars/trunks better. Internal organization is nice. Rolls well, nice flat top. The handle extender bars seem flimsy but it may be just because the low profile requires longer than normal bars - so may be a non-issue. The bars are also set wider than most, so the luggage pass-through strap on some travel bags won't fit. (The wide-set bars are IMO the only potential deal breaker. Definitely test it with your other travel backs to make sure they will fit together.) Waterproof internal pouch is tight when the back is fully packed. Despite my complaints, I like the bag. I am happy with the bag and would recommend it.

Good Glider, we were at 50 pounds a little tough to move around at this weight, anything over will be tough, does not glide as I expected and the stackable carry on falls off easy at this weight.

Ordering from the web site wasn't difficult, but the price drops before the item arrives and they won't give you the better price. This material is very flexible. Not sure how well it is going to hold up if it isn't packed full.

First trip the zipper popped open and it was lightly packed. This forced me to buy a strap for it which you shouldn't have to buy accessories to make a product work. This needs to be either an integrated feature or have more improved zippers. The carry handles need a little bit more reinforcement as they flex beyond comfort. Otherwise it's been a great bag with tons of space and easy to move around.

When I saw it at the store I knew I had to have it for my upcoming Europe trip cause it moves like a charm. But then I realized that it's got some major issues. For instance, it's super heavy to begin with 5-6 kgs). Also, the seam is of poor quality, the thread keeps getting stuck in the zipper. The reason I bought it was because it's centre of gravity is low because of it's shape, which makes it easier to move but the same shape turned out to be it's worst quality. It's a nightmare to carry it on an escalator cause it too wide. It's really difficult to maneuver and I was traveling through Europe using trains and getting it on or off the train was so so difficult. Also, if you are in a hurry and need to walk fast (you cannot run with a suitcase on 4 wheels, you have to drag it behind you on it's two wheels), this one will keep hitting you on your feet and leg repeatedly while you drag it behind you. I actually ended up injuring myself multiple times while catching a train. I also have the same carry on but apart from the bad quality seam, that works perfectly well.

I bought this for my husband to transport her Brompton folding bicycle, but it didn't fit. It also feels very flimsy and awkward to roll. I have to pay shipping to return it so that's annoying too. Will never purchase from the website again. I've had much better luck purchasing in-store.

I will admit this will hold a small house full of items, but that's the only nice thing I can say for it. On its first outing on of the zipper pulls broke. This meant I was only able to use both zippers with the help of a leather-man. Secondly this suitcase just collapses in upon itself if not filled to the brim. Last, I have no faith in the zippers themselves lasting for any length of time. Now, I have to pay to have this shipped to a repair center to fix the faulty zipper. This will not be going on any trips....however it may see the next garage sale! Very disappointed in this item.

I regret buying this suitcase. First, it's an odd shape, so traveling with this in some vehicles is a bit of a challenge, especially because it juts out more than other suitcases does. When packing this into a Ford Explorer with other, "regular shaped" suitcases, it caused a problem that made it difficult to close the rear of the vehicle because it stuck out too much. Second, one exterior zipper broke after just the second trip with this thing, right at the loop that attaches the piece that goes into the lock. I wouldn't buy this again.

I bought this suitcase at the Samsonite outlet Nov 2018. I love the size and uniqueness. However, after the first couple of trips, I noticed cracks in the outer shell. After the 7th trip, one of the zipper handle broke off. After 8 more trips, I noticed bigger cracks by two of the wheels. I took the suitcase back to the Outlet store with my receipt, hoping they would stand behind their 6 month old suit case; however, I was told I could pay $15 to ship in for repairs or trade-in for a $60 Credit. I chose to ship for repair thinking maybe they would replace the suitcase. Four days later, I receive the same damaged suit case with a new zipper! Buyer beware!!

I used this Stryde Glider Long Journey on a trip to Ireland. Going over it was fine, coming back not at all. When the Glider came on the belt it was obvious this luggage was NOT supported in any way. It is just a blown up piece of plastic with no integrity. The four wheels were pushed up into the plastic bottom, all four sides were pushed in and collapsed. My luggage came on the belt with the other three pieces of my family and were fine. This was not the fault of the airline. It is the fault of Samsonite's extremely POOR design.

I purchased that luggage from Samsonite's own website because I had a limited time before traveling and I didn't want to take any risk. But unfortunately, when I received the product, it was HARDLY damaged. I think nobody would want to pay for a damaged product, that's why I called them to make an exchange or return. They told me that there is no exchange and I should have waited for 5-7 business days to have the return label. Since I had no time to wait, I HAD TO PAY FOR MY DAMAGED LUGGAGE'S RETURN. I would recommend this WEBSITE to ANYONE.

This was the most horrible luggage purchase I ever made, so disappointing lock broke first trip, corner big huge dent first trip, expensive and it did not last I will be returning this...zippers not smooth, not strong
