American Tourister Stratum XLT Hardside Luggage, Blue Spruce, Carry-On

Product Information

This gorgeous carry-on hardside suitcase comes in a beautiful rose gold color for those who really like to travel in style. Perfectly sized to carry the maximum amount of belongings you can fit in an overhead air bin, this case also comes in 24- and 28-inch options. While these two suitcases might sound better, their warranties are worthless. And even though the Stratum XLT isn’t the most durable suitcase out there, ones from other affordable brands are usually even less durable. So, the Stratum XLT is the best choice if you want something more reliable. Our Verdict American Tourister has become my go-to recommendation for a well-balanced type of luggage bags. It combines good pricing and quality which is what most of us buyers want. Hardside suitcases are generally water-resistant. The same is true for the Stratum XLT since the ABS case prevents water from penetrating inside. However, water can still pass through the seams, especially when the bag is expanded. Our experience with affordable hardside suitcases has shown that they’ll keep your clothes dry in light rain; this isn’t true in a thunderstorm. Durability (12/20)
