Was really waiting for 18L Citta to drop, but this shipping fee made me hesitate to pull.
Compared it to Aer CPP-2 Ultra and difference was $20.
And 18L Iron is sold out, do I wait for the restock or just go with Aer? Any suggestion?
What brand luggage do you suggest for check ins?
I travel 5-6 times a year, travel light with small luggage & backpack, so normally I check in my luggage.
BIFL doesn't work for me cuz I live in a place that it's just too much hassle for me to send the luggage back if it's damaged. So it's just buy & done situation.
Currently I have Delsey Belmont carry on I bought around $170 and it held quite well for few trips so I was looking at second one for Delsey or Samsonite around $200-250 price range cuz they seem reliable known mid range brands. But there are barely any reviews on Youtube from known brands. Only Bellroy or Aer or some other brands.
Bellroy carry on large looks good for me, but is it worth to buy luggage that costs more than $300 if it breaks after few trips due to check in handles?
Any suggestion?
