Sizeable, almost no extra pockets inside, no frills, This is the perfect 2nd check-in luggage to use for those long-haul flights, for those trips when you know you'll be carrying back home tons of items after shopping, and you would want to maximize the usual 2x50 lbs limit. I was able to fit even a sizeable Husky floor mat inside.

It has survived 6 intercontinental trips in the span of one year (with connections). The luggage "aged" considerably with scuff marks and visible scratches big and small, but it doesn't bother me. I have no problem so far on durability and reliability--no cracks, no broken wheels. I have seen an exact same model being dragged with even worse battle scars (probably "proudly") by a flight crew

The non-zippered closing is not problem to me. Sometimes collars or sleeves are left hanging-out closing on first try, but it's not too much of a hassle to fold better, tuck them all in, and the try closing again.

The rolling is smooth enough, although my Silhouette model is better in this aspect.

Samsonite should not phase out this model. Bought it for 130+. Cheap, non-luxurious alternative for those needing a luggage to carry 50lbs .
