(perceived) quality is really a function of time.


what I can tell you for sure: avoid the "super light" category, as these luggages are optimized to the gram. there is a good chance some "optimization" has gone too far, and the parts are simply too weak.

So I would go for something heavier, but sturdier!

A good Idea is also to have a duffle bag instead of something with wheels, as it is the wheel or the handles that usually break first
