Kenneth Cole REACTION Out of Bounds Lightweight Hardshell 4-Wheel Spinner Luggage Lavender 20-Inch Carry On

I already own two carry on sized versions of this suitcase, so I knew what I was getting when I bought it. This line of luggage is perfect for people who travel a few times a year and need a case that they can cram full of vacation gear and still manage to get it all back home in one piece. The hard sided exterior does well against the beating it takes on its journey through the airport. It seems thin when you get it, but once it is filled with clothing you will see that it is much sturdier than it appears. The zippers are strong and don't stick easily even under pressure of a full case. The wheels operate smoothly on a variety of surfaces from the airport parking lot pavement to the metal grates of the people movers to the carpet in the check in lobby. The handle is easily adjustable to your desired height and usage, and works well when rolling it upright through the terminal. So why did I mention it is best for people who travel a few times a year as opposed to all travelers? While the hard case is sturdy, I believe that heavy usage will eventually cause it to crack. It isn't as sturdy as more expensive luggage is. The zippers while great are known to have quality control issues, so while mine have been fine, you may end up with one that has a wandering stitch that can lead to a loose zipper tread. The handles also are not as sturdy as more expensive brands. And while the wheels are durable, the wheel wells drag and wear down when pulling them diagonally as opposed to rolling them upright. All this being said, for most people this line of luggage will work perfectly fine. For my uses they are perfect. I also really enjoy the variety of color options. As long as you aren't someone who is constantly catching planes for business trips and the like, you probably won't have to worry about the issues above. And at this price, I think the possible shortfalls are worth the risk. So from my standpoint, this is a great suitcase for vacation and light travel. Just think about the volume of travel you do when purchasing it to make sure you are getting the right product for your needs. Read more

We bought three of these in the purple (looks gray-blue not purple. Very pretty), the pink (looks either beige-pink or rose gold. Also very pretty), and charcoal (looks steel/pewter). We bought the largest size. They have been great! They have been through two flights now. Zero scuffs or dents. Very sturdy and durable. Lots of room on the inside with enclosed zipper protection on both sides keeping everything from falling out when you open the suitcase. The enforced corner protection is part of that I believe. The handle on the top and side make it easier to lift when it’s heavy with packing. Rolls amazing over all surfaces, bumps, doorways ect. The pink one was my daughters who is 5’1” and she was able to handle it easily. I have ordered matching carry-ons after vacation because I was so impressed with them. I researched all types before landing on these and am very pleased with them. Read more

I am starting this off at 2 stars as I’m a bit skeptical about the durability. I like my dads and it felt durable so I ordered me one but this feels so cheaply made and fragile compared to his. The outside bows and flexes so easily on mine but his was solid so maybe I got a knock off? The carry on holds a good amount but a backpack with additional clothes is a must in my opinion. The telescopic handle wobbles and feels like it’ll break easily. There’s no lock so buying a little one would be smart. I love the shape and design but again the protection of the luggage is iffy in my opinion! Will update after my flight! Edit: I was super skeptical at first but it survived my trip with lots of turbulence!!! This is definitely the semi-budget-friendly but quality travel case for you! Also, they come with the company's lifetime warranty Read more

This is our first luggage set. For the price it is decent. So far, we have only traveled twice with it. The wheels on both suitcases are nice. They roll and swivel easily and are smooth. The handle on the large, checked bag, is sturdy and is easy to maneuver 50lbs. The handle on the carry on is flimsy at its highest position but that may be normal even on high end luggage. Since this is our first luggage set I dont have anything to compare it to. The zippered compartment is nice on both bags and has enough stretch to fill it tight. After our second trip we noticed a tear in the material of the zippered side on the large bag. I am unsure of how that happened. We have not packed any sharp objects in the bag and it doesn't appear ripped from overacting. The exterior is impressive. Doesn't scuff or scratch easily. Overall, I recommend this luggage set for the price. This would have been a five star review had the zippered section not ripped within the first two trips. Read more

This was my final piece of this luggage collection and I absolutely adore it! As a business traveler, who’s on the road as much as much as I’m home, it’s crucial that I have dependable luggage by my side. This set has always performed flawlessly from its’ well designed internal compartments and straps, to its’ handy side and top handles for loading and transport. It rolls effortlessly both in and out of the airport and the telescoping handle has stood the test of time. The beautiful color makes it distinctive and easy to locate when retrieving my baggage and though it does show scuffs, the hard-shelled exterior has proven to be both easy to clean and durable. As a seasoned travel pro, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. Read more
