Though the two-year warranty is shorter than most other brands, we think Calpak's prices are more than fair. The hardside suitcases are made of high-strength thermoplastic, and the softside exteriors are sourced from recycled plastic bottles. They sustained hardly any damage after being hit with a bat and shoved off a table. Samsonite luggage also maneuvers without a fuss, even on carpeted floors and gravel.

Soft-side luggage has some “give” to the suitcase walls, so it is easy to stuff in those last-minute items you picked up while traveling. The downside to soft-side luggage is it is not as strong or durable. Unless you choose the more expensive ripstop fabrics, your soft-side luggage is subject to tearing, ripping and wearing through at the corners. This 4 piece set is perfect for a family of four, with one piece for each family member, all in the same color and brand to keep everything organized. The duffle bag with wheels is perfect for older children, and the carry-on easily fits in-flight entertainment for everyone. Although some fabric suitcases from other brands may come with TSA locks, most don’t because they’re expensive to integrate on a flexible fabric suitcase.
