Waste of time, energy and money buying CURV-made Samsonite zippered luggage. Causes too much stres

I'm writing this review because I feel it's my responsibility to warn potential victims of this horrendous heavily marketed product.
In theory, it comes with a 10 year warranty. In practice, it's useless and breaks really quick.

I have bought three suitcases from Samsonite high-end range of suitcases made of revolutionary CURV material (Cosmolite, LiteCube and Lite Locked).

The two that come with zippers (Cosmolite and LiteCube) both broke after the second trip. Zipper broken.
Samsonite is absolutely unable and unwilling to repair or fix zippers in any way whatsoever (even if you offer to pay for the repair) at their official repair centers. Therefore I had to change it for a new one and pay for the change. I found really bizarre though, that they ask me to keep the broken one. What do they do with them?

So I changed the Cosmolite for the LiteCube, which is the same concept but different shape and handle.

After two zippers broken, I got a Lite-Locked and the handle got stuck while I was traveling and I couldn't retrieve it for hours. I was told in a Samsonite shop that I would have to send it to Taipei and wait for two weeks.

In short, do not buy ANY luggage from Samsonite made of CURV material (most expensive range, like Cosmolite) if it has zippers.
I assure you that you will lose your money and you can get, like I did, in big trouble while in transit.
I repeat once again, don't buy any Samsonite luggage made of CURV that has zippers.

The company's philosophy behind this low quality, easy to break, expensive, unrepairable luggage is deeply unethical and a threat to the environment.

I'm going to file a formal complain because someone's gotta do this.

I have purchased many sets of luggage and this is really by far the worst set I have every owned.  Yes the colors are great at identifying your luggage, but that is it.  I have had since August and have gone on about 4 trips.  The zippers are not quality and I have lost about three; and now the expandable handle on the large bag is bent and cannot expand any more, following my recent trip to Honduras.  Not even including the fact that the luggage does not have a away to attach the bags together, so if you have to take three bags like I did on my two week trip out of the country, it was a challenge trying to carry all three bags through the airport.  So I will never purchase this set again and would never recommend this luggage to anyone.

The 28" luggage shell had wear and tears.  The wheels were clearly used. I am very disappointed but I have to fly out in 2 days which does not give me time to return the item because I am in desperate need of a luggage for my personal belongings.  I was expecting to receive an unused luggage.  I tried taking pictures to be able to capture the used wheels and the wear and tear but the lighting was not helping much although you can still tell.  I am one to never complain but this is just very unfortunate and a waste of my money. The 20 " is in good conditions and works perfectly.

According to the ad and the reviews it was supposed to be great for plane travel. Not so. It did not support my head in any configuration so I had to ball it up and try to make it work on a 5 hour flight. I could not figure out how to use it without the instructions which I brought with me on the plane. It is hard to manage because of its irregular shape and too bulky to be practical for a small bag with other necessities.  I wish I had not bought it, it is not worth 35.00 to me. In my opinon a common u-shaped one for $5-$10 would have worked better. I intend to buy an inflatable one so it will fit in my bag.

Came with a bad wheel and both main zippers broke after the second use. I didn't know buying this product through Amazon would 100% negate the ability to return a defective item after 30 days. I paid over $266 for this piece of luggage that is now not functional. I am super pissed off!!

I bought the Atlantic hardside spinner (charcoal) Style #AL11900.  Stay away from this one!  I used it for one trip and after the first flight the suitcase arrived broken.  It had cracked in two places after only one 3 hour flight.  Atlantic Luggage denied any responsibility in workmanship and said the product was "made properly" and it was the airline's fault.  In all my years of flying, airlines have not damaged any luggage of mine.  It was only when I travelled with this piece that it cracked and became useless.

I would not recommend this product to anyone.  Invest a little more and get a piece of luggage that will actually last longer than one flight!

I bought this from my local Dick's Sporting Goods store with high hopes to begin sandbag training this weekend after my football games. I own no fewer than a dozen different SKLZ products, and this is the first one I've ever returned or been so frustrated with that I kept it for less than an hour.

I bought this, picked up 50# of general sand filler from my local Lowe's, and began to fill the 4 included yellow sandbags. I poured out the sand, carefully measuring & weighing each pouch to a near-perfect 10#. Then, I attempted to fill the duffle bag with the weighted sandbags -- alas, they do not fit once full.

Here's the problem: the yellow insert bags are longer than half the length of the duffle bag and wider than half the width of the bag. What does this mean? Well, when filled they do not fit into the duffle bag and enable you to zip it up. HORRIBLE design. This is a very simple concept: if you intend to fill a bag with other bags, make sure that the maximum volume of each of the four insert bags is no greater than 1/4th of the entire outer bag's volume. Simple.

I returned it. Dick's associates apologized to me, politely, but this isn't their problem. The designers at SKLZ need to take this back to the drawing board. I'm on Amazon.com right now to order a different, better bag.

UPDATE: SKLZ has posted videos on how to "properly load the sandbag", which, in my opinion, doesn't fix the problem, but at least they acknowledge the issue and attempt to address it. However, this still needs a complete redesign/overhaul before I can recommend it. You should **NEVER** force a consumer to conform to your product's design, but the product design should **ALWAYS** conform to the needs of the consumer. As such, I will not be a consumer of this product. I'm gracing this review with an extra star (from 1 to 2) for the effort, though.

Total Sham! This is billed as "The strongest and lightest Samsonite EVER," absolute top of the line, retail price $565. I bought the whole story. Was impressed with the super-strong material, covered zipper, and the salesman's story.  Came home from my first trip with a 3 x 4" X-shaped TEAR in the bottom of the bag. The TravelPro fabric bag I was replacing, mostly because of the weight, is nearly 20 years old and in nearly flawless condition. Save your money. Buy the polyacrylate Samsonite at Costco for $99 or less. Better yet, buy a better brand! "Curv" technology and claims of strength are total hype. Sorry I let myself get talked into it. If Samsonite doesn't refund, my credit card company will. I sure as heck don't want a replacement of this hunk o' junk!

Be Afraid - Be very afraid of this one! My wife bought this exact same set from JC Penney and after one cross country flight, there was multiple damage. ABS plastic body cracked completely through. Damage to wheels. Plastic handle joints cracked almost completely through. The quality of this product is non-existent. Absolute garbage. There was damage on both pieces of luggage that she checked-in. If it can't stand up to just one trip, what good is it? And the manufacturer warranty (Fox Luggage) is a joke. Who's going to pay a $40 "handling charge" just to include in a letter (along with the purchase receipt and original luggage tag  who keeps luggage tags anyway?) sent to the manufacturer to ask where to send the luggage for "warranty evaluation"? You can't send in the luggage directly as there is no address as to where to send it. You have to write to them first. Then, in their "final judgement," they will determine whether it is carrier damage or their quality issue. Yeah right! Luckily my wife was able to return her damaged set to JC Penney after more than 6 months and still got a full refund. I returned my set purchased from Home Depot quickly before I ever used it. Stay far away from this one!

Bag buckles snapped in under a year, breaking my laptop and several items inside,
Vendor apologized and offered a new updated model, which in under a year AGAIN, snapped the straps and fell again, yet another laptop broke.
I am sick of this, and really advise everyone NOT to buy this bag, unless it's a one time use or like very rare use. or you're willing to  sacrifice the content of the bag

Got the bag for Christmas from my wife. I travel often so I was very excited. I packed it normal for a 3 day trip.

It tips over just looking at it. The rounded stops opposite the wheels let it just fall over. I had to return it. I do not have the patience or time with my traveling for a piece of luggage that does not stay up on its own.

I'm person that is out almost all day for multiple days of the week. I also fly once a month for 1,000+ mile trips.

My take away from this bag: Do not bother with it.

This backpack has caused me more annoyances, and in many reasonable ways, has made me consider returning it. I absolutely hate it, and this is coming from someone that tries to get things to work if I can. This bag is not meant for rigid goods. The bag lacks the ability to expand, which makes it a pretty bad candidate for a bag that is considered a day pack. Containers, cases, you name it, it will not properly fit in this bag without having to jury rig the bag with multiple things tethered to the MOLLE/PABS webbing.

There are a few flaws in this pack that I've noticed:

The zippers are of the same quality as a Jansport bag. They easily get misguided and open up in places that the zipper has gone over. They snag up easily, and are just of very, very poor quality.

Secondly: the "weather" lining in the bag has been shedding off all over the inside of the bag. If you are unfamiliar with what I'm talking about, it seems that Red Rock put a plastic or PVC lining in the inner part of the bag to make the bag, in some ways, lightly rain proof, but it is completely useless. I got caught out in medium to heavy rain for a few minutes, and it proved to be useless.

Third: The water bottle slots cause tension on the pack near the zippers and makes it very hard to close if you have a remotely full pack. Obviously, being supplied with poor zippers, this type of thing easily causes annoyance. In order to get around this, you have to undo the drawstring.

Fourth, there is a hole developing in the bottom right side of the pack. From my purchasing date of this pack, to the day of this review, I have only had this bag for an excess of around a month and 10/11 days. I have taken it on a total of two hikes, and though it proved adequate to carry me through for a few hours, it has definitely not proved its claims as a tough or "bug out" bag.

If a company mentions that their bag is a "bug out" bag, you should be able to take it and have it be reliable for longer than a month and a few days. Apart from the multi hour hikes, I packed this bag fairly light, and I commuted with it a small amount, and from what I've taken away, this bag is not capable of serving you for a long amount of time.

I'm disappointed. I had expectations that were completely out of line, and on top of that, the bag started deteriorating right after the Amazon/Seller 30 day warranty. I understand that this is one of the lower reviews of the may higher rated ones, but I suggest you take this review as a precaution.

I would not recommend this box neither for jewelry holder nor as a travel case for craft. It is too heavy for travel - we have to count any oz these days to get airline standards. The zipper doesn't work well, it is too hard, and it has only one opener (two-way zipper would be more suitable). Color is nice, but it is only positive thing to say...
Unfortunately, I cannot return it for free of shipping charge. It is not on Prime.

The only thing I can say is do not buy it. I bought the 29 inch for a trip to Europe and it wasn't stable - kept tipping over. I will stick with Samsonite brand. Unfortunately, I cannot return it even though I haven't used it. Now I'm stuck with a piece of crap that's never been used!

I had really, really high hopes for these bags, and when they arrived, they looked fine so I packed up my NYC apt and made my way to the airport to move to Dallas, TX. What I realized, mid-journey, is that these bags are not functional at all. The small carry-on doesn't have a handle on the side so, every time I tried to lift up the bag to place it on the overhead storage, I had to grab a wheel or get the help of someone around me to get it up and secure. The largest bag also has a similar problem, there is no place to grab on the bottom of the bag to place into a car, etc. I packed pretty heavily so it was hell trying to transport this around. I'm a 5'6, 130 lb woman, and it was the worst. Unfortunately, I don't think I can return these because I threw out the handbag (as I didn't need it) and have already used the others. Save yourself the money and look elsewhere for good luggage.

STOP!!!!  Do not buy this product. You will be endlessly frustrated. Upon arriving in Boston, I was unable to open my suitcase. I tried resetting the suitcase. I tried resetting the app. Nothing, I repeat nothing, I did would open my suitcase. Thankfully they provide you with the key,  unfortunately the key is also poorly made. The plastic ring that holds it to the keychain had broken and the key had fallen off my keychain. The only way I was able to open my suitcase was to break the lock. I now own a useless suitcase.

To follow up on my last post. BlueSmart replaces the above suitcase and on my first trip the top lock would not lock unless I pounded (hard) on the lock. Im going to throw out this suitcase when I return home.
