We ordered this luggage to cut down on the weight of our bags so we can pack more essentials. I like the bright color, light blue/green, easy to see on the carousel, the spinner wheels are a real winner, nice and easy to pull and maneuver. The only thing I am not happy about is the case is not hard sided all the way around. The walls could be more substantial. We'll see how long they hold up on international trips, with those bag handlers tossing them around.

Just got home from vacation and these bags were great! Very easily seen on the luggage carousal. They did get dirty, but a little damp wash cloth with Oxyclean took most of it off.

I needed new luggage and thought the green would be easily seen on the airline carousel. I was correct! I previously used black luggage (like everyone else.) I've only used one bag, so far - the middle size, and I had plenty of room for a week's worth of clothing, etc. Plus, I had to pack for two possible weather types, so that meant more clothing than normal. I just wish the carry on bag was larger. I don't beieve I could ever fit what I need for carry on in that small bag. But, I will know that in the future, when I travel more frequently.

Super-bright turquoise luggage may seem gaudy and obnoxious, but we chose this on purpose; We figured, who the hell else would have such bright luggage? We'd spot them on the turnstile from a far distance and book out of that airport before anyone else!

HAH! We were RIGHT! First trip to New York and there they were in their neon glory!!! Trip to Florida a month later, same thing! We were outta there!!!

Now for the important stuff; how did they hold up? Perfectly! Very sturdy, and a BIG bonus is they are lightweight! With 50 pound airline rules, light suitcases afforded more packing power! They have zip/unzip extensions to hold more stuff and we were sure to overstuff them!!!! From four total trips to the airport, plus two trips via car ride, they are all in perfect shape. Wheels are fine, retractable handles are good. Zippers are all intact. No tears or rips.

NOTE: Due to the nature of their obscenely BRIGHT color, and that the airlines loooove to toss the luggage around (see note 2), they do get dirty, spotted with greasy black streaks and blotches.
THE FIX: Use Oxy-Clean. you can get it anywhere, Wal-Mart, grocery store, etc. Took out every stain.

NOTE 2: We were on the plane, looking out the window before taxi-ing for takeoff, and we happened to watch the staff load the luggage onto the plane. LO! We saw our luggage, due to their Bright Color nature!!! LOL!!! And yes, they totally THREW our luggage into the plane!!!!

Really, surprizingly, great product!

I purchased these so that we could easily spot our luggage and it worked great. These bags are one of the easiest I've ever had to find on the luggage belt. The luggage is made of a good quality as well and there is more than enough room to carry my wifes, mine, and my sons luggage on any trip we have gone on. I'm extremely pleased with this set. A big plus is that the big bags have 4 wheels which makes it very easy to move.

The color (salmon) is pretty but when I went on my vacation it was dirty (from airlines) when I got to the resort :-( to be honest I was not that surprise...I knew with a bright color like this there was a chance that it will show dirt easily. I did scotchguard before I used it so when I return from my trip it came off with a damp cloth. Oh by the way you definitely will see your bags on the luggage ramp...LOL! (for the vision impaired) It come with a lot of large pieces with the set except the small carry on isn't that large but it will do. (who wants a big piece to carryon anyway?) :-)

I haven't used this set yet. They were purchased for an upcoming vacation. They are well made and very attractive. Hoever, they do not repack very easily. It was okay taking the five pieces apart, but hard to get the set packed again.Very tight fit. Hope they work okay on the vacation.J.I.P Suitcase Storage Set (Set of 3), Zoo Planet

Present for my recent high school grad. We told her she gets luggage when she graduated. Lol It was just as described and very fast shipping

Great pack, very good quality. They are made ''of nylon. Its four-wheel favor the motion. The small is always perfect to carry luggage. The other 2 are very spacious.

We have used the 3 luggages on 2 separate trips around Asia and it has held up pretty nicely. We were surprised at how much space it actually held. Wheels worked well that even my 5-year old daughter was able to push and pull it around with minimum effort. Only drawback to the color is the tendency for it to show dirt stains (which you can easily clean). But it was so easy to spot on a luggage carousel (which is one reason i picked the color). In a sea of black luggages, it really stood out! I highly recommend this set!
