Skyway Sigma 25 inch Vertical Expandable Packing Case

It's functional...it's what I paid for
I got this suitcase to replace the one I broke prior to my trip to Nevada in July. I'm not keen on checking bags, so my carry on (along with my briefcase) is generally my travel kit. For what I paid for it (under 40 bucks) I get a functional carry on that I can pack a business week's worth of clothing in. It is tight, but it all fits.
Pros: Lightweight, comfy handles (I can't stand it when folks MUST drag their bag down the aisle of a plane), fits in any overhead larger than the regional jets, and it hasn't given out yet (probably a dozen trips since July)
Cons: Tends to be front heavy and tips forward when fully loaded, would like a tri-fold insert for shirts & coats, roller handle feels flimsy (but again, no issues yet)
Overall, it's a good functional suitcase...no suitcase is going to last forever, but this one is serving me just fine. I wish I could find the cassini for sale as a separate entity as I used that for 2 years before I broke it...I loved that thing.

Fabric type: Polyester Fabric

Nice suitcase
I don't plan to use this much, so the price was right. I really only needed it to last one trip, but it seems sturdy enough for a lot of use. I got the discounted, discontinued, and gloriously awful color of "Copper", which made it very easy to find on airport carousels. The lower front pouch was roomy enough for my large ankle boots and the zippers held up very well. Being expandable was quite a plus for my trip home after shopping. Lots of dirt on it when I got it off the plane shows it was probably handled quite roughly but that's the only way I'd know, it held up very nicely. I like that the handle stows into it's own compartment and it handles very smoothly on its wheels. A high quality item for the price!
