Zipperless Checked Suitcase, Aluminum Frame, Charcoal Metallic, 24"

I wanted to use these before I wrote a review. I travelled Germany for 7 weeks, 3,500+ miles, 50 trains… and I was NOT gentle with this luggage. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am with my choice. I purchased several brands before deciding on Luggex—and this was hands down the BEST decision. I had this suitcase maxed out weight-wise. Traveling alone much of the time meant I was constantly lifting, pulling, and yes… even throwing it on and off trains because I had more than one bag. Some days I didn’t even have the energy to carry it up and down stairs, so it literally bumped down step by step with me. I was worried the stairs would ruin my suitcase, but it was perfectly fine!!! The suitcase is incredibly durable. And the wheels? AMAZING. They held up to EVERYTHING. They handled every surface I came across. Cobblestone? No problem. Although I will say… in Köln (Cologne), the cobblestones were EXTRA 😂 so I had to put my back into it and pull! It rolled smoothly across platforms, elevators, stairs, and everything in between. It also went on and off escalators easily, which was a huge deal when traveling alone. My carry on sat on top and strapped easily to the pull up handle. i am 6’ 2” and the handle was a perfect length for me. I brought a spare wheel but never needed it. The shocks did their job perfectly. After 7 weeks of serious use, the wheels still looked great, just normal scuffs and scratches (see pic). Security was another huge plus. No zippers to puncture, just a solid aluminum frame with two TSA-approved locks. I felt completely comfortable leaving it in the train luggage areas while I went to the bathroom or restaurant car. I also used a retractable locking cable for extra peace of mind. The medium size fit easily in the overhead racks on German trains. About the frame … I tried other hard-shell suitcases without aluminum frames, and they all felt floppy and “soft.” With my hip injury, I needed something I could sit on if necessary. The company didn’t officially recommend it, but I had to try it and it was SOLID . I used it as a seat multiple times throughout my trip. Even my 6’10”, 300 lb son sat on his with no issue. The frame is no joke!! Seriously strong and well-built. I researched, shopped online and off and these are truly the most durable suitcase you can get at this price point! Bottom line: I am SO happy with this purchase. We now own four different sizes and I am buying a set for my husband. I’ve included a video of it rolling over different surfaces in Bad Honnef, regular cobblestones, the horribly bumpy ones in Cologne and down the stairs at the Cathedral. The wheel photo shows their condition AFTER the full 7-week trip. Even after sitting on them, a lot, the shock is in perfect condition.

I bought the 28” Luggex suitcase in charcoal. I love a good suitcase (call me weird) but I’m also too intelligent to dump $2000+ into a glorified clothes box and act like a pretty box somehow means I’m more valuable than others. All That to say that I really do want a quality suitcase but I’m also value-conscious. I bought this one after spending a ton of time reading reviews and still wasn’t sure what I would get. No matter which suitcase you check out you’re going to find the “this is the best one ever” reviews and the “do not buy” ones, but this is the one I went with. Sorry so much preamble. The good: Loaded this sucker up FULL with 51 lbs (23.5kg) of stuff, mainly clothes but some books as well, and checked it in. It then survived six weeks of flights and transfers and in & out of truck beds going from Texas to Papua New Guinea and back, with a lot of additional flights inbetween. United, Asiana and Virgin airlines are pretty good with bags. JetStar was okay. Air Niugini must literally throw the bags out of the aircraft and then jump on them. Seriously. Of our three checked suitcases (three different brands) only this one survived unscathed. It came through with some scuffs - basically perfect. The wheels are all still intact and working quietly. The case itself looks good, no cracks or dents, it opens and closes properly and I don’t find any loose rivets or other damage. The latches and hinges still function correctly and nicely. For comparison, suitcase ‘B’ was so smashed after just one Air Niugini flight I was afraid it wouldn’t get us home: caved in side, major cracks in two sides, front permanently creased, and the aluminum frame broke in two places. Suitcase ‘C’ had two broken-off wheels, one corner caved in and cracked through, and white crease marks across the front where it had bent. Neither of those will ever make another trip. The Luggex looks good - like it actually looks good. The other two are filthy and scuffed and you say, “dude, those things are finished”. This one you look at and say “huh…probably could wipe it down with a damp cloth and remove that sticker residue, huh?” I’m massively impressed Extra impressed because it went all the same places as the other two bags but this one just looks a bit dirty and those two are ruined. I will absolutely buy another Luggex. 13 flights, 16 different terminals, vans, truck beds, stairs, gravel, pouring rain, plus the tender care of Air Niugini…this one wins, for me.

I LOVEEE MY SUITCASE. I bought this for my boyfriend, and he’s been using it for travel, and it’s honestly been such a great purchase. The suitcase feels very strong and durable; the aluminum frame and hard shell design make it feel like it can handle a lot without getting damaged. The spinner wheels are super smooth, it rolls very easily and feels light even when it’s packed. One of my favorite features is the TSA locks. It’s something we didn’t have before, and it’s really nice knowing everything inside is secure, especially when traveling through airports. The inside is well organized and gets the job done; it keeps everything in place and makes packing simple. That said, it does feel like there’s slightly less space compared to a traditional zip-up suitcase, probably because of the frame design. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if you tend to pack a lot. On the bright side, it definitely encourages packing lighter and more efficiently. Overall, this is a really solid, high-quality suitcase that looks great, feels secure, and travels smoothly.

Great sturdy luggage. Wheels are great and it seems tough! Is bigger than I imagined. Can easily pack it heavier than 50lbs.

This should be listed as an almost carry on. Or a hope and prayer carry on. USA domestic standard is 22x14x9 - wheels to handle, etc. This one is over that. Close but not quite. If you’re forced to put it in a sizer at the gate it will fail. If you have a forgiving gate agent - maybe. Other notables, built sturdy- curved sides make it appear smaller. Solid latches. Smooth wheels. Telescoping handle is a little flimsy but not too bad. Well thought out interior with standard hardware. It’s a sturdy no zipper bag. Will keep it knowing it’s a checker. Got it on sale. Now if only the airlines would quit with silly size/charging for everything restrictions and make air travel less of an ordeal.

Listen here! I live this carryon! It’s very nicely made. Feels like a $300 suitcase. Every bit of it is quality. Latches are top notch probably the best I’ve seen on a piece of luggage. The rollers are extremely smooth and easy. The extendable rolling handle is sturdy and nice quality. The top of the case handle is extremely sturdy and well designed. I was able to pack 4 pairs of jeans; toiletry bag, socks, underwear, hairbrush, 4 shirts and t-shirts as well as 3 pair of casual shorts. I used shrinkable luggage bags to reduce bulk and everything fit like a glove. I can’t say enough great things about this one! You will not be disappointed!

I travel a lot, internationally, I have hard side suitcases, soft side suitcases, usually higher quality like TravelPro and I must say this is a GREAT Suitcase, rolls like a dream, love the no zipper hinge luggage!!! This thing is solid and a deal at this price for the quality…

I've typically carried a duffel bag, but I'm getting older and wheels are increasingly attractive. I didn't want a zipper, and although I was mostly traveling by train I wanted to meet the carry-on requirements for a short plane flight (turned out that I had to check the luggage anyway, as carry-on was full by the time my group boarded). Very happy with this luggage. It's sturdy and holds more than expected; I packed in enough clothing for 12 days (I'm relatively small, it was summer so materials were light, I didn't have to play dress-up at any point). It looks nice (several people commented). It rolls smoothly over sidewalks walking quickly, doesn't go wobbly. The handle adjusts quickly for pulling behind, walking beside, closing up for baggage rack. It does add more weight than a duffel bag; I had some trouble getting it over the rim to retrieve it from the train rack. It's a bit tedious to have two combination locks but also reassuring. I don't travel much, so durability over time is an unknown.

Muy mala calidad, los cerrojos se vencen en menos de 5 viajes, los materiales son muy deficientes y además se rompen con extrema facilidad aún siendo una maleta de cabina

Instead getting a lot of problems with the delivery, this luggage is awesome. I haven't done any trip with it yep, but everything in it seams having a excellent quality.

La pieza que se extiende para manipular la maleta esta muy endeble, esta muy floja, esperamos que aguante los viajes!

I have not used it yet but it already fits items my previous carry ons don't. The square design allows more items. I've loaded it up and the wheels work well, can't wait to try it out at the end of the month.

Awesome- no others had one that looked like mine. Sturdy, attractive and easy to open
