I actually received the carryon size in an IRK. In the dark blue (my favorite color). I took it on my last cruise and I was impressed with it (it was also dragged through two train stations and a couple cab rides, and some walking in the city). Handled itself well and in li has a few scuffs from being taken on/off the ship in a big bin! Spins better than my other luggage, and I loved the little drawers inside. Honestly, I wish I could afford to buy the set cause I’d love the larger one too! Also, this was a bit more unique than other suitcases, so I was able to easily spot it on the pier when I got off the ship!
@SelfGovern Yes, the majority of luggage that was on the pier was soft-sided and black or gray. A few pieces looked different enough to make them stand out. Of the other hard sided luggage, none had the wavy pattern and mine was the only blue one (which is why I was hoping to have luggage that is easier to spot, when your luggage is in a huge lot of luggage, you want something you can look for without having to read a ton of tags hoping that piece is yours)
@savvysapphire i believe they were making a pointless, pedantic, and overdone jab at your use of the phrase “more unique.” i.e., since unique already means one of a kind, something cannot be “more unique.” we all understood what you meant though, and i appreciated your review.
@savvysapphire I thought that once you made it to the “cruising class,” you had your porters carry it to your own private carriage or railcar. (private railcar preferred – if you happen to own a railroad.)
Starting weight seems like an issue for those airlines that are sticklers… But I’m not really a hardsided person, how does it compare to similar options?

OH MY GOD THEY PACKED THE BOTTOM HALF OF GLEN!!!
How long did these stay in the bathtub to get that texture?
/giphy raisin-skin
Polycarbonate or no?
@dagirlgenius At that price and weight it’s almost a sure bet they’re ABS.
@cinoclav @dagirlgenius nice abs
“I thought you’d appreciate it,” said the inspector, “for your trip tomorrow. To Ixtapa. You’re one way trip.”
@ryanbruce Maybe he is one way trip.
So this is the “Joy to the world” in the Christmas song? Damned crass commercialism.
@phendrick Away in a mangano…
Hey look, Nilfgardian Luggage.
*Ur
Seriously heavy luggage for what it is.
@cinoclav Yeah, the 13.4 lbs for the XL is a lot when the stinkin’ airlines only allow you 50 lbs. Generally looking for <10 lbs.
@pmarin Especially when it’s only a 28” bag.
Not one thing that’s been worth a damn in the last month or so… You guys really wrapping up the year pathetically
@robson Meh is so meh.
@robson lmao. The last month???
@robson The Meh shirts, though. I’ve added more to my collection. I think I’m up to about 20 now.

Packing it in tonight.

How could these keep my shirts pressed when the suitcases are wrinkled?
VMP wasted the last two months. They do not even try on the holidays anymore.
@ponagathos meh meh meh
You’ll find there’s basically nothing worth buying once you stop giving your money away
@ponagathos only the last couple of months?
@robson Yes. I think I have bought something in the other months this year. I will admit though that it is all meh.
@ponagathos You can always buy wine…
@pmarin Two problems. I do not like wine and you can not ship to PA.
To be sure, you will be THAT GUY/GAL if you but this carry-on

(It’s technically too thick for just about EVERY carrier, not that that’s ever enforced)
@neveraging aren’t most people too thick for every carrier if the rules were strictly enforced?
last year you had all those scientific toys, the ruger knives…all kinds if cool crap for Christmas…
This year… nothing…unless you think giving luggage is cool for Christmas…(which, BTW, looks like ass)
@fastharrydotcom Not if you give a trip to go with it.
