Hi,

Any one recommending what brand of luggages are long lasting and probably have quite good compartments?

Was looking for something within a mid range price.

Please advise.

I dunno much about brand of luggage but I have 1 Camel trolly back with 4 compartment bought during my studies and until now the bag good enough and never have problem with the zip or roller. Cost me near Rm200 and cabin luggage too. During the sales at Mandarina Duck Pavillion, I bought another upper end luggage back and I wanna see how many years this expensive bag would last.

There is another extensive discussion relating to bag but not usual travel luggage but only backpack:

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...uggage+backpack

Honestly after my last backpacking experience in Pearl River Delta in Dec'08, I find back pack is actually more usefull compare to those bulky roller bag especially for those moving from 1 city to another. A good back pack have a good cushioning system that u won't really feel pain although carrying 10kg behind u..

its better to buy luggages with 4 wheels.
those with 2 wheels dont really last if theres a heavy load and u often change hotel as u travel.


my last holiday trip,
my dad bought this polo brand if not mistaken,
at Isetan Lot 10.
it was a buy 1 free 1 deal
not that bad.
as compartment wise, not really that many
since we dont really need alot compartments during travel.
most of the time we just stack them together or organize it nicely.

You wan those big check-in luggage
or cabin luggage o
very big difference

mid range price? we have poor ppl here, and flizzardo here, mid is how much?

Anyway, Samsonite is good.
Am using one for big luggage. wont fail me
Cabin luggage i use backpack style coz camera, and when i transit, i'll just go out and snap snap before returning to the airport

Well, I'm going to the US for about 3 months. So I need a big check-in luggage.

I think i need opinion on both actually, big ones and cabin ones.

How much is Samsonite? What is the price range for both types of luggages?

Samsonite would cost ranging from 600-1000++. Of course this brand are good and it considered as upper end luggage brand and same goes to Delsey, MD, Aigner, Tumi, Travelpro, Victorinox and also Samsonite Black.

Any good place to shop where there are my luggages shop around KL?

maybe u can try places like Istean, Jusco or Isetan?

then i suggest you to get a cheappo luggage
secure wrap it

then buy a good one in US
you can get a Samsonite there around 35-50% cheaper than Malaysia

seahawk..tough 1

just go to Jusco or any bag shops.....u see sale 50%...a decent luggage bag will cost you around RM150only.....i have 1 croc cabin beg.....i Vertical backpack.....both cost me below RM150 each.....which i can say a good deal.......i also have quicksilver balik kg bag since my university years I think.....when u feel/see the back, u will know urself...........

which luggage size should i buy if going oversea training for 3months?

max... 32"

errr...depends on how much you want to pack and what you want to pack inside.
By giving thoughts into this than you'll eventually know what type and how many and how big the luggage is to be.
If you didn't even know that, who are we to recommend luggage size?

Yeah, i think the location oso important. If go to US, then just bring little stuff enough, everything can be bought there and cheap.

bring big big bag... so u can bring lots of stuff back

go there buy lo

bring small/cheapass bag that's big enough to pack your daily stuff for a week. bring lesser clothes.

once you got there, go shopping spree. buy a bigger bag, dump the old bag, come back with new bag + new clothes

normally dun bring too much clothes if you think you will buy clothes from overseas.

Where can I get Samsonite bag at that price in the US?

Any outlet at San Fran or LA? Or every Samsonite outlet is generally cheaper by that much.

I think Samsonite is a good brand and the bag actually can last long for more than 5 years. Find a good bag that can last long and one thing to mention here. If you buy a bag with a zip, please aware that when they do a cargo loading, some people can unzip you bag using a small ball pen. I saw the video and they actually did that. Don't EVER try to put any valuable thing inside the cargo. Its really unsafe

Every outlet there is generally cheaper by that much than Malaysia (even sales time)
but then again, USD rose up quite significantly liau

when r u going to US for 3 months?
mebbe u can get the bag during the sales period

I will be in US from early june to early sept. But then I will only be able to shop at September, the place I'm going is Wyoming state, Bozman city to be exact. Working at Yellowstone national park.

September ar
then need to see whether local area got sale o not
big sales are normally those winter sales in november and boxing day

i think i share the same concern as TS, 'cause we're joining the same program in usa. anyhow, i've got a solution.

this is what i'm gonna do:
use cheapass bag, pack as little as i can. reach there, work, buy new bag, clothes, dump the old bag.

i'm planning to buy a backpack since i have plan to backpack around a few states like NY and NJ.

any comments about Me-something (Mendosa i think)?it's HOL's house brand wor
besides samsonite takde other brands brands of good luggages?BTW is samsonite having a sale now?

i use polo king... d reliability is awesome... buy royal polo if not polo king... it is cheap n good.. .quality might not be good, but looks n reliability is really good

Where you get those brand ar?

Having used different luggage bags, i must say Samsonite makes one of the best bags without doubt. Most of the other brands like Polo, Crocodile and unbranded ones are quite hopeless. After a while, they start to tear or the wheels will break or the handle will break and i've even seen a stupid CHina bag that my friend used that wasn't balanced when you stand it upright.

Samsonite maybe expensive but its got minimum 10 years warranty and in some higher range ones, lifetime warranty. First, its very light and you'd be surprise the space compartment you get for such a small bag. And they have those small but very ingenious compartments.

My advise to you travellers out there who wish to buy a cabin bag or check in bag, invest in a good brand, be it Samsonite or Victorinox or Mendoza. Forget about cheapo brands if you wanna buy 1 for the long run.

jusco/parkson.....

samsonite is like 500 bucks... when claim baggage 1 sratch also heart pain d...

so far d polo king set i got is very very good and stylish... polo got diff grades 1.. from the ones u buy in giant to the ones u buy in jusco all diff

another cheap n good is american traveller... sold here same price as samsonite.. but in the US damn cheap... lol

if u buy the keras one = will get scratches in long term
if u buy the other one = will get dirty easyly but no scratches, but u cant put fragile stuff inside it.....



brands : samsonite/camel/crocodile/piere cardin/mau utd bag (im not a man fan laa) ......just go to any luggage shop......u see the ones that have guarantee.....like if u tear this we will give it for free etc........

Samsonite cheapest cabin bag is definitely more than RM500, unless you get it at a bargain or clearance stock.

But yeah, i get what you mean about scratches and such but i think to avoid that, get those canvas type of bag, which is just as good and also very light.

canvas also can get scratch lor... the best bag is cheap, wont tear and look stylish... so far i paid rm250 for my 30" and 150 for my 22" bags... all polo king.. very nice, black and stylish ^^

I've used samsonite luggage for many years. One thing I noticed recently however is that samsonite for the US market is quite different from Samsonite for the UK/European market. The models you see in Malaysia are generally UK/European ones, the ones in the US are bulkier/heavier in general.

I bought my latest samsonite spinner in the UK eventually, I wanted something light but durable, the US ones are heavy and durable, not my cup of tea for lots of travelling. UK during christmas sales and RM5.10 per GBP is amazingly cheap

yeah.
the model i bought and the one I see in Malaysia oso got some slight variation
now phased out oredi looo

pictures mate!

I've been using Samsonite for years and years. My main travel bags are all Samsonite. I have one that I use for 4-14 day trips (usually maxes out around 17-22kg), and a bigger one for trips longer than 14 days (or if I want to carry a lot of stuff, usually around 30kg total). Both have large wheels for easy movement (especially going up/down steps, and cobblestone streets like in many European cities).

The smaller bag is already 11 years old and still going strong. The larger bag is 4 years old.

I also have a hard shell large Samsonite and a Samsonite garment bag. Both have survived the test of time (>11 years) and are still in good condition.

For backpacking, I have 3 backpacks: a 65L Deuter, a 55L Tatonka and a smaller (maybe 20L-ish cheapo from Thailand of dubious authenticity) backpack. The Deuter backpack is more comfortable than the Tatonka.

it is on top of my cupboard lor... very heavy.. i put bags into bags.. 4 diff layers... lol... when i free i take pic ok.. i went to jusco i dont see it on sale any more..

u sound rich

well IMHO
you buy so-so bag that is not too costly here...(wont burnt a hole in your pocket)..
then buy midrange or if u can afford it branded ones in the states.. alot of oulet there dont worry recession time there will be sales every now and then...in their mall...

Except for one, all my Samsonites were bought in the States. So much cheaper there. My garment bag cost me USD110. Over here, sure >RM1k. Trick to getting good branded stuff at decent prices is to buy them overseas and not in Malaysia. Sad but that is the reality of it, we earn less (relatively speaking) but we have to pay more. Even better if you buy during sale season. Last Christmas sale season, I was in HK and found many branded luggages being sold at hefty discounts (Samsonite, Victorinox, Tumi). I was sorely tempted but didn't buy as I already have what I need and these days must be cautious about spending $$.

if u r in d states... get american tourister, it is sold at walmart, cheap and good ... heheehheee

SeLrAhC, American Tourister is basically Samsonite relabelled in case you didn't know. You won't get the high end Samsonite stuff as American Tourister but the low end spinners for example are exactly the same but much cheaper.

I still prefer european samsonite stuff though, they're lighter but just as tough.

no wonder they sell tourister in samsonite shop in msia.. lol.. but they are selling it at premium brand

Delsey, bought in US. Usd150. Good quality, long lasting and can fit a lot of stuff. I bought it 3 years ago and my parents just bought 3 more of the same from Macys. I've been dragging it to and fro US London Malaysia on tar roads etc etc. Really the best luggage bag ever.

waa... so exp

Samsonite.

Good quality though! Can last you a lifetime !
=)

bs ler.. no such thingie... scratch a bit ur heart pain already

You don't have to care if you get scratches on your bag. It's function is to protect your belongings, not to look pretty

then isnt better to get cheap and sturdy bags instead? if d objective is just to protect d stuff.. that's how i purchase my bags, as long as d wheels dont KO and the bag dont rip, looks nice new, and cheap.. can already ^^

Haha
My heart did ache a little when I dragged it on tar road. But after that once, can la, it has good rims okay!
I don't see people buying an expensive car and not driving it. The tyres will have scratches too! =P

it is ok if scratch on d road.. at least d wheels... but i mean like got scratch by the airline baggage handlers.. zzz... damn sad man my bag...

tyres ok ler.. can change mar, u dun see ppl drive s-class into jungle right? hehehee

how come u r back in lyn, so long nvr see u around already

First time for me to travel to Singapore using Tiger airway.. Only 2 days for me to walk around, so trying to save, dun have much to bring. Only bring one hand lugagge..

I saw their hand lugagge diameter that is 52cm x 34cm x 23cm.. can rucksack get thru?

what's the rucksack size?

It can be over my head

If u are using those oversive backpack of >45Ltr & etc, -check-in..too long to fit in to the standard size alloweable luggage...Nevertheless, upon arriving at airport, just try & fit in to the many standard size jigs available there..if more, go & check-in-lah

What do you mean by fit in to the many standard size jigs available there?

When u enter any airport in this world, & b4 the scanner machine, there is a standard measurement "basket??" for max luggage size. just put in you backpack & check whether u can fit in to the 'basket" or for me it's a Jig (any tool to measure standardization of product)

If cannot, no choice hv to check-in

But not for hard case Delsey.. I use my uncle's Delsey to go to UK & to go back to Malaysia. Only use for one trip & then got crack. I didn't notice it at the airport & now I have to buy a new one because warranty doesn't cover damage caused at the airport. I still think that for a RM600++ bag, it should be able to bear the effect of throwing, falling, etc at the airport. Stupid! And I dont know what material they use for the tyre. Got so ugly already. Scratch everywhere on the bag! Then what is the expensive price for???!!!!! As* **le!!!

Btw, where to buy a cheap luggage? I mean Delsey. ( I hate Delsey..mentioning the word even can make me so out of mood )

If you refer to hdwarexpert post, yes its expensive than ordinary bag. About 500++ for basic luggage.

d cheapest i see cheap n good is american tourister... looks decent but yet cheap... 60 usd can get 5 bags 1 set..

i normally use plastik bag. the black one. i bring a few.

guys im looking for cabin bag

Thanks

i would go for samsonite XD

Bought Antler 96cm large rollercase with 4 wheels for Rm800+, and it is after 30% discount.

yeah i am using a hardcase 29" eminent roller bag right now..
you cant compare eminent with samsonite cos samsonite bags are just another level..
i bought mine.. hippo eminent for RM500 with some discounts.. original price was 700..
i just arrived in pittsburgh last nite and my eminent bag arrived safely too and in 1 piece

if you're on a tight budget.. get the eminent bag! it'll do you good..

Mine is the light red one..


side note:
here's the view from the balcony of the apartment where i'm staying..

Wow, it's such a nice view. Where is it?

I'm in pittsburgh..
Thats the 9th street bridge and i'm facing the Allegheny River..

wow nice view there,

I was waiting good replies but too late i cant wait

wanted to get cabin bag so found 1 20" samsonite cost rm571 after discount is hard case (3kg) material but kind of slim...

then proceed to Lojel and Eminent.....been choosing for an hour haven decide which patter to get...

Eminent = Hard case 18" slight smaller less compartment rm546
Lojel = 20" slightly bigger, more compartments (laptop compartment 6~10.1" netbook) rm345 after discount (rm550)

Was very tempting to get Samsonite too bad....is kind of small.. material is the same as what i choose with a little extra bucks can get it...

Well think i might go for bigger bags with Samsonite

as above,

I wanna hunt for a luggage bag preferable no need hard case type, the cloth type will do but dunno where i can get at a cheap price or reasonable price and need to get few locks for it also but seems some of the locks are easily picked. fyi I'm stying in kl so preferrable to get around kl or selangor la . thanks

travel for all, winter wear or smith shop, hardware shop

thanks for the reply, but mind to state the location also? no need specific just roughly where or which mall

if its the zip type locks are pretty useless, a pen cover can open the bag liao.

yo james lol are u the james that just came back from vacation at /k? anyway any other recommendation on what type of lock to get?

i just buy some standard lock from tesco can liao

i used samsonite since 2004. i travelled to china, thailand(1 yr, every 3 week balik once so imagine 1 yr how many times the luggage kena thrown), aus,hk,taiwan,sg,philippines. it's still working perfectly fine! but got scratches liao

then when i go europe tat time.. i used another luggage bought from japan wan.. (my sis's) coz my parents used my samsonite to taiwan.. anyway.. when i collect my bag at Sweden airport... the bag produces loud roller noise.. then rupanya the rubber layer of the wheel cracked open liao... had no choice but to use airport trolley (I never use trolley b4 coz all the time the samsonite bag got 4 wheels) then when the stupid wheel rubber layer broke off and disengaged from the bag when i was checking-in my hotel in denmark.. i feel like wanna throw the bag.. and i missed my samsonite damn malu coz without the rubber layer it makes loud squeeking roller noise and all guailou keep pandang me nia..

just wanna share that if u r looking for lower priced samsonite bags, check out their factory outlets. there's one in KL sentral.
Isetan KLCC has got some old collections at same price as the factory outlets.

cheers

Go to a physical store and check out the models yourself. Whatever you read on LYN is the same as what you read on any other online forums and will be colored by people's preferences.

i'm searching for this type of luggage:



i see AirAsia megastore is selling this luggage (brand - high seirra) for RM 309.

i know, but the prob i bought it oversea, not able to touch/feel it.

Hey guys, need some advice on buying myself a new luggage. I'm not a frequent traveler and will probably go to a trip about once a year. My budget is within RM200 and hope to get myself a 24/25" medium check-in luggage with 2 rollers.

I have scouted around Parkson recently and the promoter there recommended me to buy one for about RM150 which looks like this:

http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-...5_6558331_n.jpg

Is it any good or anything I should be aware when shopping for luggage?

guys, budget around RM300 and hopefully can fit around 30kg stuffs
