In my opinion, just as good or better than the tradtional brands (Samsonite, Tumi, etc.)

You can't buy a broken Tumi zipper for $179.99. This set cannot compare to any luggage Tumi sells...wait, I just checked. Tumi "classified waist pack", on sale at Tumi.com for $205.00. That's a single waist pack.

The carryon alone is $195 at Calpak right now. Can these Costco sets really be the same quality?


Edit: Looks like the same set for $545: https://www.calpaktravel.com/prod...0551895098

Seems too good to be true, really. Even at Costco.

Calpak is underrated IMO, my Hue carry-on ($119 sale) has about 90k miles under it's belt. It's sized for international carry-on and I haven't had any issues w/ European cheap carriers. I can get about a weeks worth of clothes for mild/warm climates (no beach) and I've gone 3.5 weeks w/ planned laundry runs.
It does have some scuffs from domestic gate checks, but I see those as battle scars. No dents and the corners are intact. The wheels have held up well but I'd like to try a 2 wheeler next time, they seem to do better on cobbles. The only knock would be their zipper pulls could be a little beefier, especially since the TSA lock is integrated.

Reddit reviews say otherwise that their hard luggage look good but quality wise on the cheaper side esp for long haul transatlantic flights.

This js not me saying multiple folks said it's cracking etc.

I wonder if costco will honor 2 yr warranty or after 1 year tell to go sort out with vendor.?

Or is this one of those items you can return anytime (not abuse) under lifetime satisfaction guarantee??

I haven't read the reviews and they almost never get top marks in those travel site tests (CNN, Wirecutter, etc) but always end up in the runner up section. That's all true. My travel mates have Away or July (mostly the women) with a few Samsonite and Ricardo sprinkled in. The Calpak has held up with all of them. The Calpak replaced an 8yr old Ricardo which I returned to Costco. (a little embarrassing TBH)

That said, I haven't needed to checked in my Hue on a transatlantic/pacific flight, but that alone shouldn't make too much of a difference vs domestic gate check. Does a 14hr flight do more potential damage than a 5hr cross country? I don't know.

The large suitcase says it weighs 11 pounds? For real? Is that how much a large checked bag weighs empty? My current fifteen year old ricardo doesn't seem to weigh but maybe half that. Is the 11 lbs listed accurate?

Just checked other hardsided large luggage on Costco.com and they're all 10-12 pounds.

Dude, all branded checked bag is around 10+ lbs. I've never seen any 24"+ checked bag which weight is 5lbs.

ITS PISTACHIO, NOT GREEN!!!

Seriously though, these look very nice. I've traveled extensively with budget Samsonite, but I'm definitely in the market for a new set and would love something "mid-tier". Can some experienced luggage users tell me if I should be looking elsewhere in this price range?
