My wife and I just baught new luggage to replace our Samsonite which was 8 yeras old and looked it! Finally settled on Pathfinder in ther second teir line. Mainly because 1st teir was very expensive and not much difference. Was going to by Samsonite hardside but was talked out of it...glad we did. We have loved our new peices as they are very rugged all roll and have good space.
Just my $0.02 worth.
