Quality hardside luggage deal?

[belle1986]

I'm looking for a nice piece of hardside luggage for some upcoming trips. We usually drive or take our camper places so our cheap set has been fine so far but I want something that will hold up to air travel. What do you recommend?

I recently did some research on this. I narrowed my choices to the Delsey Helium Aero and the TravelPro 21" MaxLite 4. Costco has a Delsey set, though I don't know which model, in stores right now for like $120 or so.. I ended up deciding on the TravelPro because I really liked the duochrome coloring and reviewers were saying that the Helium Aero was actually a bit bigger than 21" and wasn't fitting on a few airlines. Also, because it is "shiny" it is prone to show scratches (although it IS so pretty - lots of cool colors!).

There are SO many luggage choices out there! I kept my search in the mid-priced range and tried to find the best quality. Hope this helps.

Just checked Costco online - the Delsey model is Innovate DLX. They also have a nice Samsonite set.
