I don't normally review many items but after having a hard time finding a good suitcase I'm hoping this helps someone else. I've purchased several suitcases in the last 6 months after an older suitcase finally gave out. Despite good reviews I found them poorly made and 2 did not even last 1 trip. I just returned from a 2 week trip with this suitcase and it is by far the best I've found! One week was business and one was vacation and this suitcase has enough room for clothes for both trips. Here is a summary of excellent features
- 3 fixed handles: one on top and one on the side like many others. But this also has a solid handle on the bottom. It serves 2 purposes - first it makes it easy to lift by using both the top and bottom handles. Second, when standing the handle causes it to sit slightly off center. This keeps the center of gravity over the wheels and gives it added stability. Sometimes I'll find the suitcase wants to tip over, especially if I have heavier items packed near the top. No problems like that with this suitcase.
- Extra outside zippered pockets: In addition to 2 front zippered pockets it also has a zippered pocket for the front strap (used to hang a small bag from the suitcase) and the extendable handle fits into a zippered area to help protect it during travel.
- Separate business section: One area most cases don't provide adequately for is a place to store business clothes. This has a completely separate zippered section at the front of the suitcase. It opens flat with room for several skirts, slacks, and blouses. It has a separate section for dress shirts. It also has two quick release wide straps to hold everything in place when you fold it to close again. If you don't need the separate compartment you can leave it empty and the main section simply expands into this area.
- Multiple interior bags for shoes, small items, etc.: First suitcase where I was not needing to pack things in ziplock or other plastic bags.
- Durable exterior: After 10 flights it still looks new! Zipper tabs have not been snapped off, exterior seems to resist dirt and scuffs, sides are uncrushed. I have no doubts it will continue to hold up well and so does the manufacturer as it comes with a lifetime warranty.

I finally was able to use my new suitcase. I love it. It has lots of room and just the right amounts of pockets. It rolls easily and turns easily when needed.

This was a great find as I had been looking for these last piece of a set I bought about 4 years ago and it wasn't available at the company. Amazon had it at a fantastic price. Excellent!!!

I purchased red because it was lower price than black. This red is bright red. It has 2 compartments. I had 20" carry on and it was broken so I picked this. It was a little bibber than I thought.
