PRIMICIA EXCELSIOR practical PC+ABS suitcase Spinner Wheels scratch-resistant Lightweight Spinner Expandable Suitcase, Universal wheel, (Giant series-03) (Gray, 3-Piece Set(20/24/28))

The 3 Piece PRIMICIA EXCELSIOR PC+ABS, Hard Side, Expandable Suitcase set is a nice set off luggage for travelers that don’t plan to fly. The biggest issue I discovered with the luggage is that the locks are NOT TSA compliant! This set is not my first hard side set of luggage, but I am a recent convert to hard side luggage; I have always had the typical soft sided luggage. With a planned trip to Europe next Summer before the kids go off to college, I thought it was time to replace our old, seen-better-days, luggage sets. Unfortunately, this set will not be making the trip but it will get plenty of use on our many road trips that we take every year. My wife and I are polar opposites when it comes to luggage requirements and packing, she is a minimalist and I take everything I can think I might need, lol. That means that I need at least a 3-piece set, in addition to my backpack and sometimes a small duffle bag. This set comes with a 28”, a 24” and a 20” suitcase and all of them have the same features such as a handle, 4 caster wheels, and interior lining. One thing I really like about this set is the ability to expand, and not just a little bit but up to 25% additional space. Due to my habit of over packing, and buying trinkets and doodads, it is a great and needed feature. The internal partition is a nice feature that separates the two halves with the opposite half using elastic straps and a connector, though the elastic strap is not adjustable which would have been better. The casters are smooth and quiet, which is a nice change from my older sets and they are 360-degree wheels. The fit and finish of all 3 pieces is quite nice and look and feel great (though due to the expandable nature, it feels a little flimsy by the top handle). All 3 pieces are lightweight while still being sturdy and since we have a couple of smaller and closer trips planned between now and the Europe trip next Summer, they will be perfect for testing the set out in the real world. I will update my review as I use the luggage over our various upcoming trips but so far, I do like the 3-Piece PRIMICIA EXCELSIOR PC+ABS, Hard Side, Expandable Suitcase set and recommend it for anyone looking for new luggage to use for those non-flying trips and travels!

durability and lightweight

Amazing

I guess the old adage of you get what you pay for really is true. While this is a full set of hard sided luggage, there is a reason that it is as inexpensive as it is. The first, and most glaring reason, is that the locks are not TSA compliant and are totally worthless. There were also absolutely no instructions included as to how to change the lock combination. TSA compliant locks require a secondary key system in order for luggage handlers to gain entry when needed for inspection while traveling. There is no keyed entry and while I was looking for a way to change the combination, I unzipped the interior lining and saw that the lock is only attached by two small rivets (by the way...there is no reset button on the interior for the combination either). I was finally able to figure out how to change the longs and it definitely is not intuitive. While pulling out the lock slide release, change the dials to what you what your code to be and then release the slide. This resets your combination. The other downer on this set is that the tie down strap on the interior is not adjustable. It is an elastic strap that does not offer any type of compression to hold clothing items down tight. It is quite stretchy and will only offer minimal garment stability. On the positive side, each case is fairly light which will allow you to pack them pretty full. The wheels roll well and the zippers work smoothly. I like that the expansion zipper has a different pull style in order to see that it is not the regular closure zipper. You dont know who many times Ive gone to pull the zipper closed or open on my existing suitcase and end up grabbing the wrong one because they all look the same. This different pull was a nice thought and makes identification very easy.

As stated in another review, the locks are not TSA approved. Didnt matter to me...the luggage is nice enough for travel and held up well on a 10 day trip to Boston. I also like that these are expandable. Nothing amazing, just decent luggage set with all the sizes I needed. Worked well.

I absolutely LOVE this set! Very spacious and SUPER easy to roll around the airport. I just got back from a business trip and the carryon size piece was the best thing ever, i cant believe i didnt get one like this until now! So the wheels rotate so that you can push the luggage with the extended handle and/or you can pull it behind you with ease and it transitions seamlessly. They each have a combination lock too, to help keep your luggage closed and secure. They even store all together within the largest piece too so it only takes up space for one piece! The construction is nice and sturdy, i anticipate i will have these for years to come, GREAT set, highly recommend!
