HankeSuitcase Front Opening Hard Shell Suitcase 26 Inch Luggage Large Suitcase 4 Wheels Cabin Suitcase Hand Luggage, Medium Size Checked in Lightweight Travel Suitcase Aluminum with TSA Locks

I use the bundle method to pack (look it up) and with this deep suitcase I will make 2-3 bundles and get in a whole lot of clothing as it's much deeper than most carry on bags. I have 3 of these Hanke suitcases in different sizes. Love the dark green as it's easy to spot, looks very high end and has held up well.

I wanted to wait until we had a major trip before writing a review. We completed a 22-day trip overseas and this luggage handled spectacularly. Here is a breakdown of what we wanted, and how it performed:Hard shell that won't crack or dent- I literally tripped trying to get both mine and my wife's suitcases onto a shinkansen (bullet train) and drove my knee with 190 pounds behind it right into the the center of one suitcase. Nothing. No damage at all.Wheels that move and don't break- Japan has yellow raised textures on the sidewalks for the visually impaired throughout the cities, it can can play merry havoc with suitcase wheels. These wheels danced right over them and always stayed on track. On smooth surfaces the suitcases felt like they were floating. Side note: Put the suitcase on its side when on a train or hill, if you cannot hold on to it, the suitcase will take off on you!Zipper: So far, so good. Easy to use, didn't get stuck, and didn't come open.Lock and zipper pull-tabs: the built in lock is nice, but I know just how rough airlines are, almost all of my past suitcases have had zipper tabs ripped off. I used a suitcase cover to ensure these were protected. I wish the company had a little bump-out on either side of the zipper lock so that the zipper pulls would be better protected, but we had no issues.FRONT OPENING!!: This was a really big deal for us. We wanted hard shell, but I hate the clam-shell designs that are everywhere. Hanke got it! It worked perfectly. So happy with how this functioned. We had a Delsey, front opening suitcase, and the zipper really could not handle the corners, just not a good design. The zippers failed too quickly, which was a shame, because otherwise Delsey makes a good bag.Handle: So comfortable and easy to adjust. I like a recessed button so that I am not constantly changing the handle height accidentally (looking at you Samsonite).Size: We got the 26-inch and thought it was overkill, but we wanted a slightly larger checked bag because there is no option to expand this suitcase. We left for Japan with half-empty bags, and they were packed when we came home. It was relaxing not worrying about organizing and space for the return, we just shoved everything in, and still came in under weight. Again, it was a longer trip, and we picked up some nice ceramics on our travels (nothing broke on the way home, the hard-shell did its job!) but maybe a smaller one for week-long trips.Hard-shell and color: Let's face it, white is going to show everything, but I'd rather be able to pick my suitcase out at luggage return and the suitcase covers not only protected the zipper pulls, but kept the scuff marks off the luggage. The luggage was strong! Very strong.Overall: I have to say, with a few domestic trips, and its first international under its belt, these suitcases have proven to be the best we have had in ages. At this price-point, I have not had anything perform as well- and I have gone through a few! I have been so frustrated with wheels that don't track, handles that break, zippers that fail, or soft-shells that look like box cutters were taken to them during loading.Let's put it this way, even if the wheels had broken off, I would buy this suitcase again. We brutalized the luggage this trip, and it took it all. I fully expected something to break at some point, just the fact that it didn't has made me a fan.

Der Koffer ist schön und stabil gebaut mit äußerst praktischen Öffnung und sehr guten Rollen ausgestattet. Bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Kauf. Wie sich der Koffer auf Reisen zeigt bleibt abzuwarten aber wie gesagt macht sehr qualitative Eindruck.

Very practical! So happy with it that I bought a second one!

拡張機能とフロントポケット機能で40L以上の物が欲しくて探していました。ネット購入は不安でしたが、作りがしっかりとしています。早速1泊使用したところ、タイヤが8輪で安定感があって斜めにして転がさなくてもスイスイ動きます。ただひとつ惜しいのは、上下に動かない方の取手が弱そうなところです。
