Traveler's Choice Maxporter II Polycarbonate Hardside Trunk with Spinner Wheels, Green, 30-Inch Trunk

A few months ago I was flying back with my son after his first year in college. He's a big kid and pretty strong - didn't really have much trouble lugging his heavy Rhino dorm trunk around. We were standing in line to drop off bags when I noticed another student flying back home and she had 2 aluminum trunks on 4 wheels. I thought that would be perfect for my daughter who will be going to college on the other side of the country in the fall. Having luggage my daughter could physically manage on her own seemed ideal. I started to do a bit of research and realized that those aluminum trunks I saw were probably Rimowa's which cost 8 times more than these Traveler's Choice trunks and are about the same size, although they have a few options that are only 4 times more. Tuition for 2 kids is expensive enough so when I saw these go on sale I bought 2. So, it's a decent piece of luggage and intelligent in its design with grab handles and such and is very lightweight. Zippers are beefy, the wheels perform well and going up escalators and across elevator thresholds without issue. I do have a couple of Tumi hard sided bags that have been pretty great over the years – so far the quality of the Traveler’s Choice bags is not too far off. Needless to say it proved to be a great asset when dropping my daughter off to school. Durability, the maiden voyage was fine - but time and more trips will provide the real answer. If it holds up past her college career then this buy was a home run.

My wife and I wanted something for road trips that will fit everything we need for both of us for at least a week. This is plenty large, including 2 pairs of shoes in side we had enough room for a weeks worth of clothes and toiletries for both of us, with room to spare. Super, super smooth wheels, I can't believe how quiet they are and how little effort it takes. We got the grey finish just to keep it plain and understated, but it's held up to light bumps and scrapes so far. The handles outside were a big selling point to us, and have proven to be highly useful.

I will say first and foremost, Amazon price fixes (along with any other item that is this way) the suitcases to encourage buyers to buy the used product that is taking up their inventory, before selling the new product at what should be lower than the used prices, or at the same cost that the used prices are. THIS IS GOUGING, PLAIN AND SIMPLE - AMAZON! That being said, the suitcases scuff easily, but that's with pretty much any manufacturer. If you want to buy a durable suitcase, that has "cosmetic" damage, get this, take some Dawn and a microfiber cloth, and wipe it down, add a little bit of Dawn to both insides of the suitcase, spray/rinse really well with a garden hose, use a sanitizer like Clorox disinfecting spray or Febreeze sanitizing spray, and let dry really well. The suitcase was actually a few dollars less than the Samsonite. In 2022, the Samsonite was used once for a roundtrip plane ride from Ohio to Texas, with one layover. It did not make the return trip, as it cracked at a seam in the body of the outside shell. I blame this on two things: The Samsonite has more of a "rigid" one piece design on both sides of the case, whereas the Traveler's Choice has a "softer" feel, but is still very durable. The other is that there are really only three touch points on the Samsonite, whereas - there are actually five touch points on the Traveler's and I really do think that if you loaded it heavy, it still makes it easier for airline workers to maneuver better than the Samsonite! The TC does not feel flimsy at all, is very, very easy to clean and it is just as maneuverable as the Samsonite. I've used it this year so far in multiple trips from Texas, to PA, to Baltimore (Baltimore TSA sucks, and can kiss my you know what) and all up and down the east and gulf coast, and it has held it's own very well. There are a few scuffs that it's picked up, but I seriously do not care because the shell hasn't cracked and everything has been safe in it. I will say that the first time I used it, I had a trip where I had to pack it with the items that I did, and things got to be very tight, to the point where I had to grip the zipper pulls and they are very, very soft. One of them broke, and I was not happy, even with the fit being tight, the pull should not have bent. I called Amazon about this, and all they wanted to do was have me return the whole suitcase, and then once receiving it, have another one sent out. With my travels, this wouldn't have worked very well. So, they gave me the number to TC. Unfortunately, they gave me the number to Traveler's Insurance, which was not right at all. After some internet sleuthing, I came across the number of TC and in very short order was able to get a hold of a representative who was EXTREMELY professional, and immediately issued an order for replacement pulls to be sent out! On their website, it shows there's a backorder for the pulls, at least over three weeks, which is no bueno for me. I got the replacements in less than four business days, and was able to get the old one off and put the new one on quickly. The replacements are just as cheap as the factory ones. Other than improving the zipper pulls, I'd buy this again in a heartbeat, based off of customer service, and design of the suitcase.

outstanding pice of luggage would recommend. loaded with cloths and persnol snorkeling gear for 14 day Bahamas cruise. only downside is to tall to fit under cabin bed. fits in state room closet

Very strong 💪🏼 worth every penny

Excellent product with organiser. Ideal for one who has lots to load but doesnt mind rectangular fat luggage body

Slick design, flexible and great compartments. 2nd one purchased. Great for packing my son’s race karting items which requires items to be secured in place. Love it!

Took this luggage to Japan shinkansen and subway, very easy to maneuver and stable smooth wheels. Body is also sturdy, great luggage, hope they have a smaller version.

Very spacious and nice .
