Delsey Meridian Plus 25" Suiter Hardsided Suitcase

Bought 6 in two different sizes, the medium (25") and carry on. Our whole family went to DR, back and forth on United. No scuffs, no cracks, perfect size. This size is perfect because it fits size requirements perfectly. Makes it very hard to go past allowed 50 lbs. Pack everything tightly and you'll be right around 48-50 pounds. Very solid suitcase, closes tight unlike the cheap cases with zippers. This one is very similar to what Samsonite used to make years ago. Very satisfied so far. They should last a long time with our ocassional flights here and there.

Mine finally did crack on its 8th trip across the Atlantic. Got dropped by baggage handling on a wheel and the case cracked around the wheel casing. Advantage of silver case is that it is identical in color to duct tape so quickly patched and going back into service.

It is exactly as advertized. Nice light weight and easy to maneuver. Took a beating but held up. Not exactly crazy about the locking system since you must be exact when closing your full suitcase or it won't lock properly. Sometimes takes a few trys. Can be anoying. Overall I love it...

I have not used this case on an airplane yet. It is very sharp and classy looking, I love the brown/bronze colored accents and handles. Seems very sturdy, but a bit heavy. I purchased this bag because the larger one is too large for the checked luggage requirments on most foreign flights. I bought my husband a different type/stle of suitcase, and was pleasantly surprised that this bag is really almost as large as his 28" bag. Crossing my fingers it doesn't crack when checked to Europe next month, as many reviews have said that has happened. I love the spinner wheels - they make it very easy to navigate.

Long and short trips

I found this piece of luggage after visiting several overpriced "famous brand" luggage outlet stores in my area and going through endless product reviews and comparisons online. I had never heard of Delsey before this. I bought it for two reasons: price (a bargain for a hard suitcase of this size and the features) and the relatively high reviews that it gets. [...]I just returned from a convention trip to Dallas where I used it. It performed superbly. It was easy to identify, it made it through luggage handling unscathed, and it only received minor scuffs because it has a relatively low gloss textured surface (although the baggage handling did give it a couple of deep scuffs.) I'm now sold on the Delsey brand. At about [$] it is at least the equal of a $330 piece that one local outlet salesperson was pushing hard. A bargain, and great quality.

no zippers on outside

I wanted a hardcase to put my tripod or monopod in, when I travel. They fit well into this case. I am pleased with this purchase.

I travel every week. This bag is very durable. Easy to identify in baggage claim.
