I've got one and it's survived baggage handling with Spanair. Seriously, my softsided luggage got totally destroyed and they "lost" my Samsonite for 5 days. I totally expected the luggage to be in pieces but it took a licking and keeps on ticking. ^

I was looking for a replacement and didn't see it on the US Samsonite pages at all. I thought they discontinued it.

Update: Checking the Samsonite website now, it seems they've brought them back. http://us.samsonite.com/webapp/us/se...ngId=-1&pc=C05

I've never even heard of that!
They're all over Europe. I took a good look and it doesn't seem any sturdier than the regular Samsonites.
