Important Notes
This product comes with a 10-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, reflecting Samsonite’s confidence in long-term durability. The luggage must meet standard airline size requirements for carry-on or checked baggage; travelers should verify dimensions with their specific carrier before flying. To maintain appearance and structural integrity, avoid placing heavy items only in the outer layers and use compression straps to distribute weight evenly. Always remove the wet pouch and clean it separately after use to prevent odor buildup. This model does not include a built-in lock—users may add a TSA-approved external lock for security if desired.
