Product Information

Four-wheeled suitcases are the easiest type to manoeuvre, but two-wheeled suitcases can be cheaper and tend to be a little lighter and less bulky. All of the suitcases have a zipper closure and a TSA lock – and the external zippers are actually very sturdy. However, it suffered a few bumps and dents on test and, despite its waterproof claims, a little moisture soaked through the top. The Merax suitcases are kind of unique, in terms of the materials used in its shell – they make use of a light, yet durable PET, whereas most use ABS or polycarbonate. As opposed to getting a cheap suitcase that you have to replace on a yearly basis, and even earlier if you get on a plane several times a month.

For starters, the compression packing system meant testers had room to spare when packing enough clothes for a long holiday.Among all the bags in the series, it was one of the few suitcases to show no signs of interior moisture from water exposure nor lasting scuff marks from our drop and tumble tests. For one thing, there are four of them, so the chances that one of them will break is twice as large.

Since the shell is not completely smooth, but rather ribbed with a unique design, the scratches won’t be that noticeable. This Joules weekend holdall is just what I wanted, it is smart and has pockets for those little things that we all carry.

Then you're going to drag it over rough terrain, pull it up and down flights of stairs, and toss it in and out of vehicles. We found it easy to manoeuvre on a variety of surfaces and liked how effortlessly it goes from two wheels to four when navigating narrow spaces.The Eagle Creek Cargo Hauler XT also has large, treaded wheels but they are built into a protective wheel housing that significantly reduces the bag's clearance, making it harder to navigate varied terrain and leaving the bag susceptible to damage from catching on objects in motion. The Osprey Sojourn Shuttle 100L excels at gobbling up gear and keeping it snuggly in place with its straitjacket compression system. In a test, Merax has driven over their suitcase with a truck (we haven’t confirmed this ourselves) and claims it is super strong and durable.

The luggage is made of pure Polycarbonate, which is pretty much the best material for checked luggage.It was extremely waterproof though and comes with a five-year warranty that you can access simply by scanning an attached QR code. Its wheels aren't as tall or as smooth-rolling as those of our top spinners, but they roll well enough to get you from A to B. ORGANISATION MADE EASY: Interior includes zippered compartments and mesh divider, facilitating tidy arrangement of your clothes and providing a separate space for laundry.

Oh, and what sets this luggage apart is the inclusion of the Tumi Tracer system – in case you lose your suitcase (which is a real possibility if you frequently fly), Tumi is able to Trace it and reunite you with it. Although these spinners didn't provide the smoothest ride, the structure of the wheels still held up well. However, that’s about the only advantage it has – there’s a good reason you don’t see pure ABS suitcases from trusted luggage brands like Samsonite or Rimowa.If you're seeking a gentle ride that won't vibrate your arm off when navigating between city sidewalks and cobbled streets, check out the Timbuk2 Copilot. Constructed of an extra-sturdy and scratch-resistant micro-diamond polycarbonate, the four-wheeled hulk of a bag delivers reasonable, not perfect, mobility across smooth surfaces, even when weighted to the airlines' maximum (50 pounds).
