I bought this suitcase to help me move from Chicago to Amsterdam. I took about 5
suitcases with me, and this was the easiest to pack and transport. It's such a simple concept - a big plastic square box, but I haven't seen anyone else who makes
suitcases like this. The design makes the suitcase very easy to pack because there are no bumps or ridges to pack around, just a vast expanse of flat space. The best feature is that each half of the suitcase can be zipped up and sealed so you can open and close the suitcase without everything falling out again. I only took it on one trip so far, but I didn't see any evidence of damage on the suitcase, so it's holding up well so far. I plan to use it in the future as the main suitcase for me and my partner to use while traveling, because it's big enough to hold both of our stuff for a week and it's a dream to roll through airports.

Great suitcase - it was our error in choosing this too large size. I need something a little roomier than my usual 22" Rimowa carry on and we went overboard in this size. I'm going for the 26" - not carry on but a little less austere than packing the 22" for a 15 day tour of Turkey. This is a great case and you cannot beat the free shipping and returns.

We just got back from a 17 day trip to Italy. Love this case! It's lightweight with easy mobility and great look make it worth the price. I got a lot of compliments on the purple color. It made it easy for me to keep track of my
luggage at the airport & when it was being loaded on and off the bus during the trip. The light weight allowed me to pack more clothes and shoes and still be within the weight limit. The four wheels moved easily on any surface: wood, tile, carpet, and uneven stone roads. The only thing it lacks is a built in add-a-bag strap which is included on the Salsa Deluxe model. I was able to buy a black mesh strap to attach my matching Rimowa Salsa Air carry on to the bag by looping the strap through the handle, but a built in strap would have been easier. With that said, I was able to move this bag, fully packed, with the carry on attached with one hand (I'm only 5'2"). It stayed balanced on four wheels and rolled easily through the airport. It got a few scratches from being jostled around during the trip. I am more concerned that an inch of stitching and black edging material on the corner of the case got broken during the trip as this could cause the zipper, which worked so well on this trip, to split from the case in the future. The exposed stitching strikes me as a design flaw on an otherwise sturdy case. My experience getting this repaired will be the topic of a future review.

I love my Salsa Air! It is so pretty in this purple color and so light to move around. It also fits a lot!

My Rimowa Salsa Air just made its maiden voyage to Vanada. Walking it through the airport was a dream. It just goes beside you with ease. I got lots of questions and compliments on it. I love the spinner wheels. I am going to get the carry-on with spinner wheels.

I have not used them yet but they look fine. A little pricey but will see when I pack. Zappos was great to deal with and they responded overnight.

I have not traveled with this bag yet, but it is very light weight with lots of room. My 200 pound son stood on it to see what would happen. It immediately returned to its original shape. Can't wait to travel with it.

I cannot say how much I love this suitcase. I travel a lot, and have health problems that make lifting and managing
suitcases very difficult. This suitcase fits all of the ridiculous junk that I have to take on trips to make sleep and survival possible. Pulling a suitcase is really hard for me, and this one just effortlessly comes alongside or in front of me. I have two of them, and if I put them handle side to handle side, I can have them both move easily in front of me and manage them with one hand. Don't let them go on a sloped walkway though, or they will take off on an excursion of their own, and you will be chasing them. They have been on a number of trips, within the US and internationally, and have held up perfectly so far. If you overstuff and blow the zipper, it realigns itself by rezipping. I have both the 32" inchers, and the smaller ones, about 26" I think. One thing about the small ones. The compartments are not deep enough to take larger items, and I needed at least one big bag to make it work. Great
bags. I love them.

This is the lightest suitcase I've ever owned. It just floats on its multiwheels and looks amazing in ultra violet. The quality of Rimowa is superb. I have owned a Rimowa carry-on hardcase since 2006 and had to have a larger version. I would highly recommend this particular Salsa Air. I really like the zippered compartments on each side which help keep items in place and makes it easier to zip it up when fully packed. Make no mistake - this bag is huge. I tend to overpack as a result.

Spendy and worth every penny. I bought this huge suitcase because the "smaller" carry-on was so perfect. Very lightweight. Plenty of room. Nothing bad to say!
