Key Features
- Lightweight Hardshell Construction: Made from impact-resistant polycarbonate that resists cracking and withstands rough handling. The scratch-resistant finish helps maintain a clean appearance even after repeated use.
- Impact Resistant Design: Engineered to endure the rigors of air travel, this suitcase provides reliable protection for your valuables without sacrificing portability.
- 8-Telescopic Handle Positions: Customize your comfort with eight one-inch incremental adjustments. The ergonomic, textured grip locks securely in place, enabling smooth one-handed operation and effortless navigation through airports.
- Patented 360° Spinner Wheels with Aero Trac Suspension: Four dual spinner wheels rotate freely in any direction, guided by Samsonite’s proprietary Aero Trac technology.

Important Notes
- The USB charging function requires an external power bank (not included) to operate.
- While the scratch-resistant coating minimizes visible marks, it does not make the shell completely impervious to damage.
- Using the expansion feature increases volume and may affect fit in certain aircraft overhead bins; check airline size restrictions before flying.
- Both top and side carry handles are included, providing flexibility when lifting the suitcase in tight spaces or at security checkpoints.
