    That RRP is fvcked

    • +1

      Shops that sell luggage constantly make out everything is 40% off RRP which confirms what a joke the RRP numbers are. They must play on the fact that people don't buy this stuff very often and therefore moght not be aware that the 40% off nonsense is a permanent thing.

    If anyone from here is buying this at RRP, then they need to hand in their OzBargain membership!

      How much is ozbargain membership RRP?

      Is it even possible to buy at the fantasy RRP number?

  • +11

    You’re always only one baggage handler away from damage , who would pay a grand for samsonite lol

    • +3

      haha, thats what I see when I see people wheel around a Rimowa suitcase.

      • +2

        Thats what travel insurance is for….

        I do business class returns to the UK annually on points with fam so take mountains of bags. Usually at least one gets broken. Small excess aside i get a new bag each trip with minimal effort as hard shell cases arent very repairable…

        • How can you afford family business class bro

        • +1

          This feels like a low key flex. I am jealous! Maybe I’m not using my points correctly…

          • +1

            @Ksou: Or more like you dont make as much points annually as he does, maybe. Some put business expenses on cc so end up witb tons… guessing

            • @Mazozb: Most likely not. I need to get back onto the points hacking again.

        • +4

          My last broken bag was a Samsonite, broken by qantas, took photo at bag carousel with Qantas flight tag in view and they (Qantas) replaced it for free 2 weeks later with a Desley of my choice and colour, had the Desley for a decade it’s amazing I love it

      • Rimowa is carry-on, so it doesn't get dented or scratched ….

    • Yep, don't buy for aesthetics as the black marks and scratches after your first flight will be somewhat upsetting.

    • when you could pay $2100 for Rimowa luggage ….

    Thanks OP.. was looking for a bag to carry cash and gold bullion

  • +1

    Shame the proxis is so much more, had my Iconic order cancelled on me a month or so ago so was hoping for another crack at a great price :(

    • @mungas Just noticed that Proxis has some discounts.

      • Yeah however not 40% stacked on 40% plus iconic first time sign up bonus good :(

        We can’t live in the past!

  • The "shock" part of "Lite-Shock" is the RRP.

  • +1

    Huh 55cm is 1.7kg think thats the lightest hardshell if found, anyone got better? Looking for lightest carry on thats a suitcase style so i can roll/drag it along

    • +5

      Don't think you will find a lighter hardcase of this quality. Pretty good weight-to-size.

    • +2

      Not the lightest but I've been using the Samsonite soft 72H 55cm which is 1.9kg. I'd rather the soft suitcase over shell only because I open a lid and. Ot half the suitcase. Takes up less room on the floor

    • I've got one of these. Have used it extensively for travel over the past 5 years, US, Europe, SE Asia … it's really done well.

      It's even run the gauntlet of "the butchers of Heathrow" with just a scratch (I've had a couple of bags destroyed by those fkwits in the past).

      I prefer hardshell over soft as it does a better job of protecting stuff inside.

  • +6

    I got this bag on the last deal Amazon had.
    It's a good bag, the only let down is the handle shaft doesn't look like it'll last as long as some of the other premium Samsonite bags as it's a bit thin.

    • +3

      I have this as well and I have to say the handle design is the biggest let down. It's not ergonomic at all and is a pain to wheel around when heavy

      • Totally agree. The handle on this bag is so bad.

      • +1

        Returned this model twice because of the handle that failed and kept falling down. I’ll never buy a single shaft again. Not practical for leaning a briefcase against either

  • Most people who use this bag would have belongings in there that would not be worth $1000.

    Besides, $356 is actually the inflated RRP for this bag.

    • +1

      Mate, there's a fair bit of folk in here who would easily surpass that.

      I tend to carry my camera and a single prime lens (GM) in my checked-in (my stuff is specificially insured). That by itself is $5-8k.

      If you're traveling to colder climes, a high quality down jacket, thermals and some snow shoes would blow past that. If you're someone with nicer clothes like raw denim, tailored shirts, suit jackets, loopwheel t-shirts, decent leather moccassins etc you'd cross the $1k in a quarter of the suitcase.

      • +1

        Damn! I need to gear up!!

        • +1

          In due course, mate. 13 years ago when I joined OzB, the only "expensive" thing I owned was my shitbox laptop.

      • +1

        Why are you putting your $8,000 camera in checked-in luggage, rather than carry-on?

        • Because I have a toddler, and I CBF'd carrying it alongside all the other shit. Also our laptops go in the carry on.

          If it gets lost/damaged, I have insurance for the camera and lenses, and a few other items that are high value-ish.

  • These are not good. The latch which holds the opposite side to the zip break easily. Had to warranty fix it once, only to have it break again.

  • I bought this 68cm American Tourister for $95

  • This is a much better choice for $345 because I can verify that I've taken that it around the world, plus two Asia trips:

    Samsonite Red Toiis C Trunk Large 74cm Hardside Suitcase Ink Black 45861

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/325743908138?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mk…

    When I bought it I got the white version and it was called the STEM and I paid $399.

    It comes with a handy cover. The large handle is very useful as is the trunk with the 80/20 split.

    But what makes it the best is the quality of the wheels. I did some research on ball bearing wheel quality after borrowing my mother's suitcase which got destroyed on my 2023 RTW.

    I wanted to get the soft travel pro which is a brand from America but the Amazon website prices were ridiculous but it has these fantastic smooth wheels.

    This specific Samsonite model is a breeze to travel with as it rolls so smoothly.

    • I have the 75cm in it but oh boinits heavy

  • -4

    why would someone spend 700 on a carry on luggage, I buy 100$ bag use if for few trips and get a new one after

    • and u better be travelling in business or above if you have one of these :D

  • +5

    I have the cosmo lite in this size, which appears to be the older version of this bag. It’s taken 63 flights in the last 4 years like a champ and still has 6 years of warranty left.

    I think these are good value under $400

    • Sir, 63 trips in 4 years, are you a pilot? Or you have a private jet?

      But cant agree more on the durability. I'm in the same boat.

      For RRP, hell no
      For $300+, no brainer.

      I got another c-lite 81cm from recent Iconic price error sale for $285 after cashback 🤣

    • Also have the cosmo lite, some scratches but great value and wheels still run smoooooth

    • I have the Cosmo Lite too, both in the 55cm and 75cm sizes. Yes I splurged. They'll probably outlast me.

      Still going strong after 10 years and lots and lots of travel, airport abuse, and cobblestone streets in Europe.

      Samonsite sell something called the C-Lite now which looks very similar, but the suitcase weights are about 0.4 - 0.5kg more than my set.

  • +5

    From someone who owns a large firelite (the older version), medium lite-shock, the old octolite hard case, and the medium proxis, I can say that these suitcases have been reliable throughout the years. Sure, maybe they got lucky and didn't get the nasty treatment, but as long as you pack your stuff correctly, i.e. support the middle section so it doesn't bend much when they put something heavy on top of it, then it should last for a long time. Once it came out from the carousel without one wheel, which most likely because the handler pulled it using the wheel but a few emails to Samsonite and they shipped me all four wheels for free (as long as you sent them the receipt).

    I personally think that if I fly with only 20kg of baggage, I don't want to spend 4.5-5 kg on a suitcase alone, there won't be many left that you can carry with only 15kg - just giving a different perspective.

  • Damn, had it in cart and bought discounted gift card to purchase and then it went out of stock! Got greedy to save a further $10 and now stuck with a $346 gift card 😓

    • +3

      At least it's an Amazon gift card. People from an earlier deal had GCs stuck with The Iconic

      • Yeh, plus it has no expiry so I should eventually make full use of it. I'm just annoyed because there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to see stock levels.

      • It's back in stock! Just put my order through 😊

        • +1

          youbloodybewdy

          I think you might have got the last one - showing as OOS (75cms silver $356)

  • I’ve used a 81cm for years, wanted to get a new one but for this price I wonder if I should just get a 75? Missed the last 81cm deal

  • Why does anyone need a hard case if you're not transporting glassware. Just buy the lightest bag you can find. If you travel a few times a year max, you don't need anything special. We have bags around 20 years old doing the job perfectly (not hard case). Light weight and wheels should be enough. Never had any problems. By the way I have a few hard cases, but they are also very light and I bought them for around $80 a few years ago. $300 is just throwing money out. None ever break, so brands are useless.

    • +5

      show me a soft shell spinner that is less than 2.5kg

    • +2

      It is adequate until it isn't. We had two American Tourister softshells get absolutely shredded at LAX. We've also had the "structure" of the softshell collapse (near the wheelbase) by the abuse the baggage handlers across the world mete out.

      I agree with the sentiment of using softshells for clothes, we do the same. But anything where structural "warping" will damage the contents, that gets yeeted into a hardshell.

      IMHO, $300 is well worth the cost for a very lightweight decent suitcase; especially when 5Kg of extra baggage costs a similar amount (or as I am painfully aware, $400 for 5Kg on the Qantas grubs).

  • I just got this and realised it's made in India as opposed to made in EU on the c-lite series. Anyone know the difference in quality?
