Bought this as a second set. Like the fact it has 3 cases. Don't like the fact that they don't expand, did not pay attention to when I ordered but don't think it would have mattered. Overall I am satisfied with the purchase. Have only used it once. Time will tell if the zippers and wheels hold up.
I have been eyeballing the hard side Spinner's for some time. I own two sets of ************ heavy duty luggage sets which I love and have proven their durability on long trips through Egypt, Greece, ...etc. But they are heavy and aren't spinners. I purchased the NY Hercules {Gold) for my last trip and WOW was I happy. I loaded up the large case with 49 pounds of travel necessities! and took the small carry on. My luggage went from San Diego to Boston to Portland to Charlotte to Ashville and back over a two week period. We all know that the luggage handlers are not gentle, but The Hercules came through with just a scratch or two, did not burst open like i feared it would, and glided around the Airport's one handed with ease!! I am so happy with this purchase!! Thinking of buying another for the great price too!. The carry on's handle seemed a little wobbly, but held up great also. Probably do to the extra extension for its small size. The handle on the mid size and large were very sturdy and easy to use.
From Nov 25 through Dec 15 this case has seen 10 jet cargo holds, two Amtrak cargo holds, one bus cargo hold, three shuttle vans, one transit bus, four subway trains, numerous elevators, 14 flights of stairs, and about 3/4 of a mile of concrete and cobblestone sidewalks, parking lots, train, airport, and bus stations. THIS IS THE BEST CASE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED AND THE BEST VALUE FOR ANY PIECE OF LUGGAGE I HAVE EVER OWNED. Granted, it's only been a few weeks, but it has had a pretty fair workout. Great value and it cleans-up well.
