SO SO Bright Orange. I wanted to be able to easily spot my luggage at the airport, and these certainly do the trick. They are even brighter in person when they are so large, so I'm just saying be careful what you wish for. That being said, as luggage they seem quite adequate, but nothing amazing. They are lined with a pretty standard sateen type material. Oddly it has a zipper down the center, that is awkward and a bit too easily opened. But everything you would expect from a good quality bargain priced luggage is there. The one thing I didn't really think about, is that being a hardshell luggage, there are no outside pockets at all. I am fairly used to those from the cloth luggage, so I will be a little lost where to store items I might want easy access to, specifically on my carry on size. They seem quite adequate to the task, and I suspect overall I will like them fine for the cost I was willing to spend.
