Samsonite all the way! and back! 6 years and no snags. Tip for the frquent traveller.......take your new samsonite and scratch it and spray it with some dull looking colour. Reason...........stops thieving loaders/security staff in some of the more interesting places on the globe giving it a closer look. Espcially CDG and MLA. Oh and add FNA to that list! It also help to identify which bag is yours
Frankly luggage is to transport your belongings safely, it's not a fashion item!
