Samsonite Base Boost - Spinner L Expandable Suitcase, 78 cm, 105/112.5 Litre, Black

Product Information

As I say again and again here at Luggage Review, cheap luggage is more expensive in the long run – as quality suitcases last for years. The 4 wheels are very stable and enable the suitcase to be either pulled by the integrated handle or pushed along. The spinner wheels are effective and hopefully robust - they do take quite a hammering if, like me, you drag the case round city streets as well as airports. Flexible cross-tension straps with push-in fasteners are designed to ensure that the contents of the suitcase don't get mixed up.

With a soft carry handle on the side and a second one on the top, the suitcase can also be carried comfortably. While it moves very smoothly on flat terrain, you will find the Base Boost Spinner to be a bit wobbly on bumpy passages. I haven't used this L suitcase in anger yet, but it is much lighter than my previous old Antler case (which is smaller). For your next trip choose a suitcase from a top brand such as Samsonite, American Tourister, Roncato, Eastpak, Delsey, and many others!As I have got older it is essential to use the much lighter new type as I am not as strong as I used to be. litres, it’s a good choice for longer getaways; you’ll have more than enough space for a full two weeks away. If it is your first soft-shell (or front opener) then packing cubes work wonderfully with this setup. In addition to the main compartment, there is additional storage space at the front and in a mesh pocket. kg puts less strain on the free luggage allowance than the hard shell suitcases in comparable sizes, which often weigh over 4 kg.

Samsonite base boost Explore our collection of Samsonite Base Boost products, including upright and spinner suitcases. With durable polyester material and reliable wheels, these Samsonite suitcases combine style and functionality. For a case this large, I found having 4 wheels made life much easier vs 2 wheels when wheeling the case in airports and up/down ramps. The volume of sizes M and L can even be expanded, meaning the size can be flexibly adjusted while travelling. The product is super light, only 2Kg, comes with an integrated lock and hangers for the straps that secure your belongings from moving (simple but rather uncommon).

The square feel works with a thinner profile than many other cases – for me Base Boost is the opposite of ‘boxy’.
