DELSEY PARIS Titanium Hardside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels Carry-On Luggage Graphite Carry-On 19 Inch

Color is darker red, well-made, glides easily, and has lots of room. I've used it twice without any scratches, dings, or durability issues. This was a great purchase! I paid $179 at Christmas time, with a coupon. Read more

Very impressed with the quality and performance of this product. I had previously bought another suitcase made by Delsey for a 3 week European vacation during which it performed admirably, and so when I was looking to buy another piece of luggage, I gave preference to the Delsey brand. Having traveled for many years, I had always used traditional soft-sided ballistic nylon pieces, but, after seeing a lot of people in airports using the hard-sided cases, I was open to trying that type of suitcase. When it arrived, I was happy to note how light it was, despite appearing to be very well made. The nylon and zippers all seemed like they were good quality, and I found the lock mechanism interesting (if a little intimidating at first because I had never seen that type before). The lock was very easy to work once I read the directions. On to the actual use... I like the way the two compartments are laid out - one has a nylon zip covering to contain contents, with an integrated zip pocket, the other has an adjustable strap that spans the entire space, plus a small zip pouch. On the way to our destination in the Caribbean, I had the suitcase packed completely full, and it weighed just under 40 lbs. On the way back, it was over-packed with the expandable zipper let out and stuffed to capacity, and still was only 46 lbs. We traveled to 2 small Caribbean islands on regional carriers, and the bag was handled many times at the airport and in transit numerous times. I noticed a few surface scratches, but nothing out of the ordinary. The handles are very comfortable, and the wheels are smooth and the bag is very easy to maneuver. On the way back, an entire 5th of rum exploded in the suitcase, and because it was hard-sided, the majority of it dribbled out the bottom. The contents were hardly affected because they were encased in plastic compression bags, and only part of the nylon lining got rum on it. A big benefit of the bag being hard sided plastic, most of the rum ran out and was not soaked up as it would have been with a fabric bag. On the whole, I could not be happier with this luggage and wholeheartedly can recommend it, as well as being most impressed with both Delsey products we have purchased. Read more

I've traveled the world hundreds of times using a Delsey bag purchased in 2006, it's an unbelievable tank. Also was more than 2x the price of this bag. The bag, wheels, handles, zippers all still fully functional. Nothing ever broke on that bag. But....it weighs a ton! I bought this new bag knowing it probably will not be as robust or durable but needed something smaller and lighter. For sure the new bag is very light, rolls and manuvers as advertised. Lots of storage space, and the front compartment has me thinking I could even ditch my backpack too for shorter trips! However I can't imagine that it will last for decades like the Delsey tank from 2006. Still, this bag is a winner in my book. Perfect fit for fast and easy travel. Really impressed. Hope it lasts!

This is a great case for those who know how to pack and travel light, preferring not to be encumbered by large luggage or "oversize" carry-ons. Wheels are strong and the ability to drag (as with a two-wheeled roller) as well as spin makes airport maneuvering a little easier...as with nearly any spinner. This bag is a little shorter than most carry-ons, termed "international." This is a bit of a misnomer, as the days of foreign carriers having almost universally shallower bins and rigid rule enforcement seem to be over. Still, for my type of travel, I rarely wish for taller and heavier bag. It should be noted, however, that the internal dimensions may bother some business travelers or those that pack suits or dress clothes. Overall quality is good, and the large-toothed zippers are completely necessary to prevent early failure from wear. I would the handle to feel more secure, but it has great adjustability (three positions) and does not protrude externally from the back of the case. The fact that it is inside the packing area may bother some people. Internal packing and storage is clean and flexible. There is a separator flap that is zippered if you want to segregate items, and a traditional garment strap on the other half of the shell. Now, a note about the external front pocket: Only get this bag, with this feature, if you absolutely NEED it, and if you travel a certain way. Otherwise this thing is just going irritate you. The issue is that whatever you put in this pocket, shares the same space as that side of the case/clamshell. It is separated from the main compartment, for sure, with they nylon lining, but there is no "bonus" space here as some soft/textile bags definitely have. The result is that when you pack this bag near the limit, there really isn't any space left for you to use this "pocket." That said, if you travel internationally with a laptop, iPad, Surface, etc., you know that you still have to remove these items at security, if you are a pre-check or Clear traveler in the USA. I carry a very thin "minimalist" laptop bag that I pack separately in the main compartment of this case, putting my laptop and iPad in the sleeves of the outside pocket. This makes security a breeze the world over, as you are prepared for whatever the process is. However, the outside pocket only opens easily if it is unzipped all the way to the bottom...so, if you think this is convenient for grabbing items during flight, while leaving this in the bin, you'll be disappointed. Yes, you can learn to work around this, but many frequent travelers that I know have idiosyncrasies that are inflexible, and infrequent travelers...buying new luggage with the best of intentions...get frustrated very easily with things that don't "just work." Bottom line: Read the above, figure out where you are on the spectrum, and buy the case. Or don't. Read more

This is one of my favorite purchases of all-time! I bought the 19-in carry on version in black and just brought it on a 10-day trip to Europe and I fit everything in this bag, including an extra pair of dress shoes! The bag is seriously unbelievable -- there's just so much room and I love all the compartments. Really sturdy, high-quality, reasonably priced and it looks nice. Wheeled well around the airport and town without issues. A huge win! Read more
