if you're looking for an unboxing video this isn't it i've actually traveled in these from alaska to the caribbean excited to share with you kind of my thoughts what i liked what i didn't like and everything in between so let's dive right in i got the set of three so the carry-on the medium and the large one thing that i do appreciate about these suitcases is that their handles all reach the same height on all of the bags so if you are going through the airport and you want to hold a hot chocolate in one hand and move two suitcases at once you can put them essentially back to back like this and then you can move them around with one hand with quite a bit of ease so i really like that so if i was on a trip where i had two suitcases i would just put it back to back and carry my hot chocolate in one hand and move my suitcases in another so let's start with the pretty one because it's nice and clean so this is the medium-sized suitcase ah right okay this is what it looks like nice and clean i did get their pink color because i thought it was adorable my favorite color is blue but when i saw this pink i really just couldn't resist this one hasn't traveled the other two have but this is what it looks like fresh and now i'm going to show you what it looks like after it's been to several countries so this i purposely did not clean it so that you could see what it looks like after it's been through some hard times so it has been scuffed up quite a bit from a lot of the travels that we've done if i were to choose again i would definitely choose a darker colored suitcase you can see here something really messed it up um really ate into the material that it's made out of so now it has this kind of ridge sticking out here unfortunately and i couldn't tell you when that happened i just know it was on a trip because like when i travel from alaska there's so many flights that take place in between so you can't really pinpoint when the suitcase was damaged but this is what it looks like after i would say about five or seven countries i'm going to show you kind of what goes on with these suitcases although i'm going to show you on the carry-on size because it's easier to carry carry on yes it looks the same whether you have the medium or large just different scales and different sizes obviously so first thing is the fact that it has this locking zipper put it to this code so the zippers snap in here so that they don't go anywhere it is a tsa approved locking zipper i do like this better than the zippers that meet up and you put a lock on them because then you need a key for them and all that kind of stuff this it's built right into the bag you don't have to worry about anything it's ready to go when you put in your code right now i just have it set to all zeros for the purposes of making this video when you put in your code and you're ready to open it you just slide this and the zippers literally just pop right out which is amazing and the handle is nice and smooth whatever material this is made of is nice and comfy and like i showed you before it goes pretty high which i like so that all of the bags reach the same size which makes it so easy to move more than one at a time and it has this nice handle on top when you pull up the handle and you put it down it actually kind of slides back to be as flush to the suitcase as possible this luggage tag actually came from a seabourn cruise that i went on and it had this nice smooth feel that i thought matched the smooth feel of the handle so did get that and the nice handle on the side that goes flush with the suitcase again on this side one thing that i've shown you with some of the other reviews that i've done is a handle on the bottom of the suitcase for moving it in and out of a out of a chunk or i put on a conveyor belt this one doesn't have that handle so kind of missing it because it's something that i do like on my suitcase but we can live without it and when you are traveling i'm a forgetful person just i'm gonna put that out there i'm a forgetful person so when i'm traveling with a carry-on suitcase and i need to access something inside the bag having a bag that's hard body like this is hard to do i know everybody raves about stuff and you if you're traveling with this you still need like a backpack to keep everything else in because if you want to access things easily you can't so say you are in the middle of the airport you want to just grab like your notebook or something really quickly and you want to go in the bag if you unzip it a little bit you really can't go in the back i've just i've struggled if there's a way to do this let me know in the comments below but i just haven't found a way to easily access the contents of the bag quickly and for example we did a review on this bag where if you wanted to you could zip it part way through and you can see how much this part of the bag opens and you can really get in there to get some things from the bag however i can't do that with this bag one really cool thing about this bag is the fact that if you pop this lid up here you actually have access to an external battery pack and it's just push it and it pops out for easy access so if you ever have to check your suitcase and you need to remove the battery you definitely can this battery has been the best external battery that i've had up like including the ones that i purchased just to have an external battery i've taken this on all my cruises since having this on backpacking trips rv trips i've taken this so many different places it charges my phone up and my gopro up so many times and that's what i'm actually able to use when i'm doing all those trips is this to keep me charged so you can get more videos because my batteries definitely die by the time i make it to wherever i'm going when i'm rving so even if i'm not using the suitcase i'm definitely using this battery all the time going into the suitcase there is this big mesh pocket that i really really like so when you unzip it here you can see there is a lot of room to put items and to organize things here these would be the items that are a little bit looser or that are smaller and i don't want them falling out if i ever have to open up my suitcase in the airport that's what i would definitely put here here we have a removable flap this is just my um it absorbs the moisture so this is a removable flap so if you don't want this you don't have to have it on here but i like it i like these pockets for all the things that i've forgotten to pack and i've kind of put it in here some people say like put like your bra or your underwear and rain jackets but it's like my oh i forgot to pack this and i want to still appear to be organized so i put him in this pocket and i look like i'm organized that's my little my little tip of the day but this panel is nice because when you use the compression strap it's not just pulling from the strap it's pushing the entire panel down so you can push everything down in this side of the suitcase i tend to put my i like to put my packing cubes on this side just because everything is in a cube and it has a place and it makes it a little bit easier to organize things on this side and then i use the compression straps to pull everything down okay so on this portion of the bag there is a little laundry bag that you can pull out here and open up this one is the one for the medium suitcase because i think the one for this bag is currently being washed but i still wanted to show you kind of what it looked like when you pulled it out and you can also detach it so if you don't want it in here anymore you can definitely do it with two hands because apparently i can't do it with one there you go and pull it apart it is a top loading laundry bag and you just stuff everything in there although this suitcase was great i'm not sure it's the one for you so make sure to click the link on this video or in the description box below where we go through comparing these suitcases to each other and figuring out different pros and cons about each one so you can figure out which one works best for you
