I know Antler and Samsonite don’t have the same quality but I am able to get some of these Samsonites at a much lower price (long story) so cannot decide. Please note I am a petite woman – which could affect how much weight I am able to carry. I am, however, looking for a luggage that is very spacious, light, and not a model that is prone to theft.

Size: 124L, 31” x 21” x 13”
