How it compares

How to use it

1. Unpack and air out the suitcases for 24 hours before first use to reduce any factory smell.
2. Set the TSA combination lock to your preferred code by sliding the reset button and turning the dials.
3. Expand each case by unzipping the extra gusset before packing.
4. Use the 20in case for cabin luggage on most airlines – check weight limits (usually 10 kg).
5. For checked bags (24in–32in), distribute heavy items at the wheeled end to avoid tipping.
6. After your trip, wipe with a damp cloth and store smaller cases inside the largest to save space.

Ethical Consumer (2026) criticises the lack of recycled materials in the ABS shell, but notes the set is fully vegan. Which? (2026) found the 20in case meets most UK airline cabin size limits, including British Airways and easyJet.

FAQ

Can I take the 20in suitcase as hand luggage on Ryanair?

No, Ryanair's strict 40x20x25 cm policy means the 20in case (55x40x23 cm) is slightly too large; you may be charged at the gate. Use only for airlines with standard 56x45x25 cm allowances.

Are the suitcases scratch-resistant?

The textured ABS surface hides minor scratches better than glossy finishes, but heavy impacts will leave marks. A suitcase cover (sold separately) is recommended for frequent flyers.

Do all four cases share the same TSA lock code?

No, each case has its own lock with a unique factory default code (usually 000). You can set them to the same code manually for convenience.

Is the plastic smell strong on first use?

Some users report a moderate chemical odour that typically dissipates within 24–48 hours if the cases are left open in a ventilated room. Wiping interiors with a mild vinegar solution helps.
