Protege Arendale 24" Soft Side Expandable Rolling Spinner Luggage, Black

This extra large suitcase was great. We used for travel but had an issue with Midway Airport/Southwest for our return trip. They were going to charge us $200 because it exceeded their maximum size limit. Not the weight of the suitcase. Recommend you use if traveling by car.

I've been using Protégé luggage since 2014, and my older suitcase has traveled internationally to Mexico, gone on several cruises, and handled many local hotel stays and road trips. After so many years of good performance, I decided to try this updated 24" spinner model, and I'm very happy with it. The design is noticeably improved: the front pocket now opens fully instead of just a small zipper slot, the fabric feels more modern and durable, and the telescopic handle is smoother and more comfortable with three height positions. The suitcase rolls easily, and the wheels feel stable and balanced. The 24" size is perfect because it's not oversized but still fits more than enough for four to five nights of travel. It's lightweight, easy to maneuver, and ideal for road trips, hotels, and cruises. The interior layout is also much better than the older version, with a Wet Pocket for swimsuits or damp clothes, mesh organizers, and compression straps that make packing simple and organized. I ordered it for home delivery and it arrived clean, with all the protective foam, tags attached, and the interior in perfect condition. After comparing many more expensive brands and reading countless reviews, I ultimately chose to stay with Protégé because my past experience has been reliable. This updated model is even better, practical, comfortable to use, and budget-friendly. Highly recommended, especially in the 24" size. It offers a great balance of space, convenience, and durability.
