Hi there,
I’m in the market for a new checked suitcase and came across the brand Tosca. I couldn’t really find any reviews online, has anyone purchased this brand of suitcase before? If so have you had any issues or overall a good purchase?
In particular i’m looking at the Tosca Comet.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Tosca have been around for eons…They had a great name in the 80s…
but IMWO from personal experience doesnt matter how good your check in luggage is they will still find a way to destroy it first time out.
As mum found out waiting at carousel for the luggage, and then a shattered suitcase was followed by bras' and undies, and dresses on the carousel .. it was her stuff.

I have a tosca suitcase
scored it during hard rubbish 6 years ago. it was virtually brand new but had a bent clasp so wouldn't lock. 2 seconds with some pliers and that was fixed.
It's fine. wheels are good. handle is a good length (I'm tall).
it's made of a sturdy polycarbonate which has survived mutliple overseas + domestic trips
one clasp has been a bit funny recently. I have to slide it in to a lock position otherwise it won't stay closed. no drama otherwise
Great thanks for sharing your experience!
Consider how and where you intend to travel. I'd suggest large cases are OK for those who always travel business/first and never use public transport, inter-city trains or budget airlines. Otherwise get a medium, as lightweight as you can tolerate so you get to pack more stuff. A lightweight medium (many brand options) typically weighs 2.4kg compared with 3.9kg for your Tosca Comet
I’m not sure a medium case will be big enough for me. I’m traveling for 2 months before relocating overseas.
I always suggest caution with buying the large cases as it's easy to over-pack them to exceed the typical 20kg checked bag limit. Medium is better for inter-city high-speed rail, cruise ship cabins, compact hotel rooms, ride-share small-car boots, Paris metro gates and pretty much anywhere you need to use a luggage rack. But if you're not doing any of those things, sure - go large
