Best Samsonite Carry-On Luggage
Freeform Carry-On Spinner, $199.99 $149.99
The Freeform series is the brand's most well-loved suitcase model, and for good reason. The polypropylene shell material is as lightweight and durable as it gets, while the boxy shape features an impressive capacity for a carry-on. Reviewers have also commented on how robust the multi-directional wheels are. It's the type of luggage that is seen but never heard.

Equilibrium Two-Piece Set, $399.99 $299.99
There is a lot to love about this sleek duo: the carry-on suitcase uses recycled materials in both the shell and the lining, while the large spinner comes with a TSA lock. Both cases feature special YKK zippers that are five times as abrasion-resistant as other zippers. The large internal mesh pockets and wet pockets are also helpful for overpackers.

Best Samsonite Checked Luggage
Voltage DLX Large Spinner, $279.99 $223.99
This supersized suitcase stands at 31 inches tall and can be further expanded an inch across the width to fit extra belongings. The textured shell is also perfect for hiding any scuffs. We love how the color of the wheels matches the bag itself.

Most Durable Samsonite Suitcase
Tru-Frame Medium Spinner, $339.99 $271.99
The Tru-Frame series is one of the most recent models released by Samsonite and takes the crown for being the most durable. The exterior is made from polycarbonate (the best kind of plastic for hardshell cases) and Rokxin, an innovative material developed by the brand. This means the bag has been reinforced to bounce right back to its original shape against any type of shock. The ridged design also gives a very "quiet luxury" vibe.

Most Lightweight Samsonite Suitcase
C-Lite Carry-On Spinner, $500
Weighing at just 4.52 lbs, this carry-on is one of the lightest suitcases you will find on the market. The spinner is made with a Curv material, a thermoplastic unique to the brand which gives the exterior extra impact resistance and stiffness. We also can't get over how cute the seashell design is.

Best Samsonite Duffel
Ripstop 35" Rolling Duffel, $239.99 $191.99
This is the weekend bag to end all weekender bags: not only are there a zillion external pockets to keep different items handy, the duffel also unzips in the middle, making packing much more organized. Fans of the wheelie bag have even commented that it seems to accommodate much more stuff than a proper suitcase. The material is an extra-hardy nylon material that is remarkably lightweight yet virtually impossible to destroy.
