Size is large and upright is more comfortable.

First of all, this is a budget collection designed for occasional travel. Not for road warriors. I’ve had the 31″ version for about 5 years and it’s fantastic for long trips since I can fit everything in one suitcase — but it’s very simple to exceed 50 lbs if you’re not careful. Be sure and weight it at home. If the suitcase is fully loaded most women & children would have a hard time handling the suitcase. The wheels are fantastic and reliable (roller blade style) and are perfect for parking lots, rough sidewalks, cobblestone streets, etc. My main gripe is that every time I pick up it up from baggage claim the center latch is open. It doesn’t stay shut. The side latches secure it nicely since there is a slide-lock, but there is no such slide lock on the center latch. I am terrified that one day I will pick up the suitcase and it will be gaping open with half my stuff gone. Hasn’t happened yet, but it could easily happen if TSA or the airline opens the luggage and forgets to secure the side latches. My next suitcase will be a Samsonite, but I’ll look for a hardside model with a zip-around closure instead (probably the Dura-lite series).

I am not pleased with the product. Eventhough the height of the bag is 31″, the actual width is less than it appears. The reason being the belt inside the bag is located below than it should be normally towards the edge. And it is not strechable enough. So if one is buying for long term, there are better options available. Also if you want to return it than you have to pay for the return shipping charges and it is costly.

It is everything I expected and serves my needs. I travel quite a bit for extended periods of time. This bag was large enough for me to throw in whatever I need during my travel. Also, it is durable and surprisingly light weight.

I have a luggage container from samsonite that is 20 years ancient that the lock was broken on. I wanted a replacement for it and found this new model. The plastic is not as strong as my original suitcase, but it gets the job done. The new handle that allows the suitcase to roll on the fattest side is much better and more stable than the ancient one that allows the suitcase to roll on its skinney side. The locks are strong and the wheels roll very nicely.
