SAMSONITE Rewind Natural - Wheeled Duffle 55 cm 2.3 KG Travel Duffle, cm, 45 liters, Blue (River Blue)

Bought 2 of these Samsonite River Blue Rewind Natural Wheeled Duffle bags as our old ones had served us well and needed to be retired.The bags we bought were 55cm as we are now retired and cannot carry heavy bags. You can get a lot items into this small bags which are strengthened by 2 coloured identifiable straps around the bag. Inside, there is plenty of room for us and 2 straps to keep luggage in place and a zipped compartment for additional storage. There is also another outside compartment for some last minute luggage, which can also be locked.The zips are strong and easy to use and has lockable hooks. The wheels are strong and move without effort and the extendable handle is great when the bag is full. The brownish orange handles and straps will make it easy for us to identify our bags when they come out at the airport belts. The 2 tone colours of these bags should also make them easy to identify.The bags were reduced in price and we could not find these anywhere else any cheaper. The Samsonite brand is very reliable and strong and should serve us for many years.

I am a fan of wheeled duffles and have used them for decades around the world, so thought I would give this one a go.Firstly it's light and is a bit like the Tardis! it has loads of space and will hold a good weeks worth of clothing no problem. It proved to be very versatile and only weighed in at check in at 19 kg.But the real bug bear is; that if you stand it up on end there is an unprotected edge around the top section that comes into contact with the ground. This may be ok for airports, but, if you or your taxi driver puts it down in gravel car parks it will not last two trips. Mine already has damage after first use.Why Samsonite could you not put corner and edge protection in this area and it would get 5 starts and be perfect?

Lots of compartments
