Samsonite Luggage
Samsonite has several good product lines in
luggage however there are only 2 product lines
that I personally would recommend.
Samsonite Spinner:
Favorite Feature: The Samsonite Spinner has four
wheels that can turn 360 degrees. This mean your
carry on luggage will not tip over when you turn
sharply. This also allows for ergonomic
compensation. Pulling luggage is not actually
ergonomically correct one should really push the
luggage. When pulling you luggage actually moves
slightly left to right and pulls uncomfortably
on back muscles over a long period of time. The
360 wheels of the Samsonite Spinner helps
correct the strain on your back.
Samsonite Silhouette:
Favorite Feature: The Samsonite Silhouette is
rugged. This is a piece of luggage that will
last a life time. This luggage is made of tough
ABS plastic and a magnesium alloy frame. These
two features make the Samsonite Silhouette both
very light and very tough. It also has a two
position handle for “taller“travelers. This
makes pulling your luggage much more
comfortable. With the Samsonite Silhouette tall
people do not feel as though they are always
lifting their luggage slightly off the ground.
Atlantic Luggage
Atlantic Citrus:
Everyone like the Atlantic Citrus colors but the
little know is the superb engineering. The
Atlantic Citrus uses inline skate wheel
technology for smooth rolling. It also features
an extra handle on bottom of case which is great
for putting your luggage in the car and the
Atlantic Citrus expands a full 2" for add
packing space.
Atlantic Infinity:
Favorite Feature: The Atlantic Infinity has 3
very nice well lined interior organizational
spaces. You can put a laptop in here and feel
comfortable with you decision. With all this
organizational space you would expect this
luggage not to fit into most commercial airline
overhead space- but the Atlantic Infinity always
fits perfectly.
TravelPro Luggage
TravelPro Platinum 4:
Favorite Feature: I have to confess the
TravelPro Platinum 4 is my favorite piece of
luggage out there today. The TravelPro Platinum
4 is made of Dupont Teflon coated ballistic
nylon with full grain leather trim and an ABS
honeycomb frame on bottom of bag for added
support. This make for a tough rouged exterior.
It has a 5 stage locking handle for ergonomic
pulling. It has a fully lined H2O resistant
lining. Perfect for people who pack wet bathing
suits. The TravelPro Platinum 4 also sports
heavy duty self healing zippers on the main
compartment.
TravelPro Crew 5:
Favorite Feature: The TravelPro Crew 5 is a
remarkable piece of engineering but the feature
I like the most is the TravelPro Crew 5’s new
H2O resistant lining. I cram wet socks and
bathing suits into my carry on luggage all the
time. Usually I place these wet items in a
plastic bag. But what happens when the bag
leaks? Well if you are traveling with the
TravelPro Crew 5 the answer is “nothing”.
Hartman Luggage
Favorite Features: Hartman consistently turns
out a classic long lasting piece of luggage.
It features a ballistic nylon exterior and
leather trim. The thing that set Hartman luggage
apart is its deep room pockets and lots of them.
Ricardo Luggage
There are three lines in the Ricardo Beverly
Hills series that I really like:
1.Ricardo Santa Cruz
2.Ricardo Sur
3.Ricardo DelMar
The Ricardo Big Sur line or affectionately call
the Ricardo Sur by luggage aficionados has
elegance. The Ricardo Sur sports a fully lined
interior and an exterior ballistic nylon that
comes in a really nice red color that looks good
flight after flight. Many of the Ricardo Sur
piece have a removable felt shoe pouch keeps
shoes separate from your clothes. Honestly this
keeps your clothes cleaner but also keeps them
from smelling like foot odor. The Ricardo Sur
also feature a hanging toiletry kit and luggage
tag - it’s the little things. |
