it luggageEncompass 27" Hardside Checked 8 Wheel Expandable Spinner

I used this for a total of 2 vacations so far and in less than a year the zipper already ripped inside the storage compartment. I’m very organized and careful with how I store things. I’m no wood chuck. Oh well what a bummer! Expensive and poorly built. I’d look for another brand.

I bought this to replace an old one that I have that’s very heavy even empty. I prefer soft sided bags but the Samsonite bag I was looking at did not expand and I think a bag of this size should be able to expand. This one expands and it’s light enough that even packed to the gills it will prob stay under 50 lbs. Did I mention it’s light? It has compartments inside that zip up which helps keep your stuff organized but if you have something bulky (like a dozen bagels, there’s a reason I need an expandable bag) you will have to plan where to fit them. It worked wonderfully for me. I do not know how long this bag will last or how rugged it is, but I’m very pleased with its first trip.

I love this suitcase. Hard side, very roomy, wheels great!
