Samsonite Ecodiver 79 cm Wheeled Duffle - Yellow

I'm absolutely ecstatic that I received this luggage duffel bag just before the holidays. It's spacious enough, has pockets on the sides to accommodate everything without making it look too heavy. It's quite sturdy so I'm hoping I'll be able to store my makeup case without any fear of it breaking. The zippers in the compartment are easier to hold and built to withstand quite a lot of pressure. It is catered to the modern world needs and has security combi lock with TSA function. The extra handles on the top, side, and bottom make the whole experience highly efficient and makes lifting suitcases on and off check-in scales easier. It has large pouched compartments which can fit laptop and any other tech valuable item. It has integrated wheel system with two wheels and ... MoreI'm absolutely ecstatic that I received this luggage duffel bag just before the holidays.

It is water-resistant hence I won't have to worry if something spills in-flight. It's apt to be carried around for adventures as it's durable and resistant plus the color is amazing and the stains won't show on it easily. I own 2 samsonite luggages previously but I'm definitely planning on getting more from the ecodiver line as it has more advanced features/additions.

I’ve wanted to own a Samsonite piece of luggage for years because of the high quality construction of their products. This wheeled duffel caught my eye because the soft shell of the luggage makes it look more casual and makes it easier to fit in small spaces. When I first received the large box in the mail, I couldn’t believe how lightweight it was. The fabric has a nice thickness, rugged feel and polished look overall. It has all of the important parts of a typical luggage, like a retractable handle that can be tucked away in a zippered space, wheels (although not 360 degrees), a lock and inner straps to secure the content in place. There are two downsides to this design. The first one is that it doesn’t hold a nice shape unless most of it is filled up.

First Impressions

Great looking luggage. I love the light weight and a lot of handles all over the bag. Exterior material seems very durable. Rolls nicely. My one minus so far would be the zippers. Since the bag is a duffel, and does not hold its shape on its own, it is not very smooth to zip the bag. Especially empty. But that is the nature of the design and it may break in over time.

Great suitcase...but

Excellent soft fabric. Flexible, strong and good capacity. Love the yellow colour which provides standout of luggage belts. Have just spent 3 weeks in Malaysia and now moved on to India. On picking up suitcase after a domestic flight the main zip was broken. I have tried to fix but I don't know how secure my "repair" will be?

Highly recommend this suitcase

I took this suitcase as my main baggage for a UK to New Zealand trip. The additional handles are great for moving from A to B. The durable zip is great, especially if you over pack like me. I did a lot of research to find a soft shell case with two wheels (best to not roll away when on a slope or public transport), and the wheels are quite, so not to disturb the neighbours with an early morning or late night departure. The other great feature that is rare to find in new suitcases is one main compartment, rather than two equal halves. This is crucial for travelling and staying in places you will not to unpacking into a wardrobe. Uses less floor space. This case has been chucked around the baggage hall and has come home looking the same as the day I bought it. Would ... MoreI took this suitcase as my main baggage for a UK to New Zealand trip.

Loved so much I bought larger one too!

Bought several years ago and it's been on several long trips by plane, train and car since then. Very strong and robust and worth the money, still going strong. I like that you can squash things down sides that you can't in rigid cases. Rainproof and wipeable. Plenty big enough for a week, could manage 2 weeks if beach holiday. Couldn't quite fit everything in for 3 week city and beach hol including snorkel so I've just purchased the larger case too. I'm female and take quite a lot of toiletries and shoes :) This one comes with shoulder strap to carry that way if preferred. Like the upgrade padlock (mine doesn't have this integrated). I love the mustard yellow colour too so it stands out on luggage carousel. Perfect!

Sleek practical high capacity wheeled duffel bag

This duffel bag looks very sleek in this metallic blue color. It is water resistant, which is useful when a bag waits on the runway and it’s raining. Has 2 wheels.It has a big capacity, with one big pocket, a flat zipped pocket on the inside and a flat zipped pocket accessible from the outside.The pull up handle can be hidden with a zipped pouch.There’s a combination lock integrated.It has more structure than a typical duffel, the sides hold straight better, which I like.Very nice bag!Samsonite is a trusted brand so it gives me confidence this bag will last.It might get unstable when fully loaded and tip to the front as the wheels make it higher up on one side and make it slant forward.

Top quality bag, though not quite perfect

It's strong, light and well made. Has happily survived 3 international flights so far, and I can easily spot it on the carousel! A couple of design fails though: when fully packed it is prone to tipping over (away from the wheels) when standing as the bottom isn't at quite the right angle to keep it upright. Also one side of the internal straps are too short, so they always fall into the bag during packing - annoying. Would also benefit from one small internal pocket.
