Product Information

Jessica Macdonald lives in South Africa's Eastern Cape province and has been TripSavvy's Africa Expert since 2016. However, quality spinner wheels, a handle with a cushioned grip and adjustable height settings, and the option for expansion are all ones we think make traveling considerably easier. After shoving the suitcases off a table and whacking them with a baseball bat, we were pleasantly surprised by their durability.

The bags seal against small unwanted particles, are waterproof to 1 meter, follow all ATA standards, and look pretty good too. Even their Just Right Garment Bag featured more pockets and organizational features than other similar bags we tested.

Whether you’re a businessperson, a backpacker, an elite traveler, or a student, LEVEL8 has the right travel gear to suit your needs. The Samsonite Freeform Carry-On is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a one-stop hardside suitcase that meets cabin requirements but doesn’t compromise on packing space.

As befits its large size, the suitcase is also strong, with a 100 percent polycarbonate shell that flexes on impact—and survived our tests without a single dent. Then we hoisted the carry-on suitcases into overhead bins, slung the duffles and weekenders over our shoulders, and stuffed the carry-ons underneath seats and into makeshift overhead bins. From student days spent backpacking around North and Central America to more recent trips around Africa and Europe with small children in tow, she has plenty of experience with what makes a suitcase great—or not so great. Suitcases with handles on the top and side, in addition to the towing handle, are easier to lift onto luggage racks, airport baggage scales and off baggage carousels.However, the construction of hardside cases has improved so much in recent years that they are now the top choice for many travelers. These materials are used to make car bumpers and crash helmets, so you can rest assured that they’re durable. Similar to their weekenders, carry-on bags, and backpacks, Béis' check-in bag is huge and can fit everything you need and more. It helps with planning, packing, and staying organized while away — and sometimes determines whether you can bring back souvenirs. The suitcases were a breeze to maneuver on their 360-degree spinner wheels, and carrying The Everywhere and The Garment Bag was comfortable with the padded shoulder straps.
