Luggage Set?

[ClosedAcct]

I need help decided on a new luggage set for my boyfriend. I've read what reviews were available on these product links but I prefer the opinions of the good people of GD :) My boyfriend is a semi-frequent business traveler and he has only ever had hand-me-down luggage (right now he's on purple from his sister). I don't really know luggage brands and I don't travel that much so I don't really know. Any input on the following is greatly appreciated!!

Of the ones you have listed I would go with the set from JC Penny's. I travel quite often for business and I can tell you there is nothing better than a good set of luggage. It makes traveling so much easier and less stressful. The absolute best set I have found is from Samsonite. It is more expensive but the quality is exceptional. However if you just buy one or two pieces (if he only uses one or two for each trip) it will last a lifetime. Also Amazon and Macy's frequently have 50% off deals on this particular set. The set I have is the Samsonite Silhouette 11 Spinner.

Buy a brand who give you at least a 10 year warranty. And skip the sets he more than likely will only use a 20 to 24 inch carry on. You get what you pay for witn luggage. I would personally go with Sampsonite

I have a 5pc Protocol set (like the JC Penney one you posted) that has held up really well. I think I got it for $40 on Black Friday (from JC Penney) a couple years ago.

 

Ebags has some Samsonite Luggage for a good/ comparable price:

I went with the 7pc from JC Penney. I know everyone says get just one piece but he really does use all of them. He likes to have smaller ones for 1 & 2 day trips and bigger ones for longer trips. And he needs a new duffle for his referee stuff so a multi-piece set covers more bases for him. Thanks for all the advice!!!
