  So approx this is 20-25kgs suitcase but remove 5 kgs due to its own weight and u can have 15-20kgs.

  Hard ones are usually more heavy. I have been looking at lightweight well built ones.

    This is actually lightweight poly-carbonate exactly what you're thinking of.

    It's not "hardside" style like the Oyster. OP is trying to describe it accurately when he says hardbody but I can see where the confusion lies.

    OP maybe remove the word "hard".

  I bought this off amazon about two years ago. Very good suitcase. Strong and durable.

  I looked at this a couple of weeks ago. Definitely a good price, but too heavy for my liking.

  These Hartmann luggage are extremely light if you can afford it. 2.8kgs.

  They're pretty ugly for a Samsonite.

  There is also a two pack with carry on size for a similar price, also ugly though.

    Chik5555 on 08/06/2015 - 09:13

    Each to their own, but I didn't hate it. Looks better IRL. Not as nice as some other samsonites though

      It might have actually been both of them. Very light.

        @CVonV:

        That would have to be for both

        @LoopyLou:

        It's not. On the packaging it says 10.9 and 6.6 lbs. Even on the product details of the link.
