Bad reviews.
Questionable quality?
Okay, after looking at reviews...looks like quality has gone way downhill.

So am I better off getting soft side for checked in luggage in terms of durability?
Choosing between this set and the American Tourister Moonlight Hardside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels, Anthracite, 3-Piece Set which is obn backorder but I was also able to order.

I don't see any compelling reason for hard side luggage and I have tried both.
Soft-side luggage has a few advantages:
1. Does not break. Good brands never rip. Damage is usually not catastrophic.
2. Smaller footprint when packing/unpacking: box with lid design can lean against a wall.
Hard-side luggage negatives:
1. Can crack/break if not handled properly. Can be catastrophic.
2. Clam-shell design. Two halves need to be fully spread out while packing/unpacking. Requires too much space to fully open and spread out.
Unfortunately, good deals on soft side luggage is hard to find these days.
Target has SwissGear soft side on sale that you can search for.
They look good but not sure about durability.

One thing I do which a lot of people probably don't do is to make sure the luggage is "fully packed". A half empty hard shell is more likely to break than a full one. I use bubble pack and empty 2-liter soda bottles to fill the voids. The bottles take a lot of volume but not weight which is important with a 50 lbs limit specially with Large luggage.

I had to go back and look at my orders. The Winfield 2 I ordered was a gift for someone. It's been 5 years and I haven't heard of anything going wrong, but I also don't know how much travel has been with airlines.
For myself, I bought the Omni -- it had the best reviews at the time along with one other line (can't remember). Anyway, it's not hard like I expected...but it's taken some tossing and no issues after multiple cruises, flights, and road trips. The set is only 3 years old and the handle has lasted better than my American Tourister that snapped, and managed to get a small hole on the outside.
