Review on Coolife Luggage Aluminium Frame Suitcase TSA Lock 100%PC 20In 24In 28In (Blue, M(24In)) by Tanya Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality and build as first impression

I have not tested these suitcases in real life situation as for now, however, the build and quality appear to be excellent.The frame is indeed aluminium made and it looks sturdy.I wanted rigid and strong suitcases with no zip and with TSA locksI like the locks. The two locks close independently but the same 3digit code. In terms of reliability this means that if one of the two breaks, there's still the second keeping the suitcase closed.On the 28in suitcases I bought, there are 3 aluminium hinges which again provides an additional level of redundancy. If one hinge breaks, there are still two keeping the suitcase integrity.The hinges are also kind of protected by the four rubber pads supporting the suitcase when in horizontal orientation.The lining inside seams to be of good quality.The metallic reinforcement at the corners are a good idea.I weighed the suitcase: 5.7KgI ordered the suitcases from Canada and they were shipped by DHL for a very good price ($25 shipping and $30 import fees total for the two suitcases).I bought the black suitcase which is actually more brushed grey color. I did not want to attract attention with the red one although it is more classy.The suitcases were shipped in two separate cartoons and each had a kind of protective cover that can be reused.I'm travelling a tough area of the world. I will update this review later if my experience is not as satisfactory as my first impression, but so far I'm happy with the product. I was hesitating with the much more expensive brand products.

Pros
  • Q - The suitcase is easy to clean, maintaining the appearance of new luggage for an extended period
Cons
  • The exterior of the suitcase may peel or fade with frequent use
