I'm using this Delsey as my single piece of overhead luggage for weekend-length air travel. Note; I'm a guy.

- The size of this piece is great and you can maximize the space you have...if you actually had a zipper that went beyond the top half of the suitcase. As it stands, the half-zip is frustrating and forces you to pack in bizarre way and retrieve items by completely unpacking the case.

- Quality of materials is excellent. Have no doubt about this. As for weight- the 'tote' is lite but feels strong enough to survive rough handling. It rolls easily.

-My major complaint? The retractable handle is- not flimsy, not delicate, but wobbly. It's hard to explain- it just has an annoying amount of give in the side-to-side direction. It's not a defect necessarily, but just a result of the super light metal pieces used to keep weight down and strength up. That said, the wobble shouldn't deter you from purchasing this Delsey if you truly appreciate the weight, size, and style.
