Overview
This is a single 30 inch hardside checked suitcase with a scratch-resistant shell, four multi-directional wheels and up to 15% expandable packing space.
At 30 inches it is sized for longer trips, roughly two to three weeks, rather than a weekend away, and it is sold as a standalone piece rather than part of a matched set. The expansion zipper adds room mainly for the trip home.
- 30 inch large checked size
- Scratch-resistant hardside shell
- Expandable up to 15%
- Interior divider plus three zippered pockets
Who it's for
Fits someone who needs one large checked bag for extended trips and does not want a full multi-piece set. Not suited to carry-on travel or short weekend trips.
