Suitable only as 2-3 day travel, not suitable for 4-5 days. Interior capacity smaller than expected when compared to exterior. Difficulty holding 2 men's suit, center where handle and fold of the bag has odd hump which takes too much room when packing and when the bag is folded, forces the contents to be creased.

The first reviewer was disappointed in the size of the suitcase, so I wanted to write in and say that it the perfect size for me. I have been looking for this size for about 10 years to replace my 14 year old Samsonite suitcase with the exact same dimensions. My old suitcase is still in good shape, but the beloved matching shoulder bag with the smart sleeve is in tatters (inside), so I started looking for a new shoulder bag to match, and could not find it in that color (teal) anymore. So eventually I started looking for a new set, and had some trouble finding it until recently (and then, another wait to find it in anything but black!). So here it is, resurrected as a Solano in Cobblestone, with a matching shoulder bag that I had to get from another supplier.

I am a small person, so perhaps my clothes take up less room than for most, but I also pack a LOT of cosmetics and hot rollers and shoes, and I've never had a problem for 5-6 day trips.

My only complaint (and it's not just for this model, and not just for Samsonite, it's for everybody) is that it is so difficult to find any suitcases in anything but black! As it is, on a crowded flight, there might be 2 or 3 green bags on the baggage carousel, but the rest are almost ALL black. I do not want to be standing around with everyone else trying to figure out which one of those 200 black suitcases is mine. So why is there not a better color selection?
