Delsey Luggage 2010
With European flair and American
ingenuity, Delsey Luggage emerges at the
top of the luggage industry for its dependable quality, durable
construction and luggage variety. Delsey has an expanded line of
luggage ranging from elegant and high tech Delsey
Helium Elite framed in "Space Age Air Flex" technology, to low
priced luggage available in the original Delsey Helium Breeze or the
new Delsey Helium 2.0 Breeze line which boasts a Memory Graphite
Copolymer construction merged with a 1682 bullet proof ballistic nylon
exterior. Bot
h
Elite and Helium 2.0 luggage are coated with a water resistant finish
and are available in carry-on, 26" and 29" expandable suiter trolley,
trolley tote, trolley duffel bag, trolley garment bag, and various
rolling luggage styles. If lightweight and truly functional luggage is
your priority, you should consider Delsey Helium Hyperlite luggage
which is 30-40% lighter than average luggage. Want to make your
check-in faster and cheaper? Then Delsey Helium Pilot, featuring an
ultra air, lite composite frame, is the answer. Delsey Meridian Plus
luggage and Delsey Heium Zip are both lines of hardside luggage which
feature tremendous impact resistance. Meridian Plus has a polycarbonate
outer shell and four unique wheels which provide 360 degree rotation

exterior. Both collections are scratch resistant, lightweight and
durable. Perhaps long lasting, super strong luggage is what you are
looking for. Delsey Helium Pro luggage designed with a lightweight
polypropylene frame and protected, velocity ball bearing wheels is
incredibly strong, hard-wearing and constructed for long lasting
service. Delsey Helium Fusion uses the same lightweight fiberglass
graphite material in its frame that is used in the construction of golf
clubs and tennis rackets. A molded polypropylene kickplate eliminates
wear and tear as a result of abrasion. Delsey Helium Pilot luggage is
fashionable and functional, light and durable – a serious contender in
the luggage arena. Delsey luggage is available in various collections
and styles including: rolling luggage, duffels, totes, wheeled luggage,
garment bags, tote bags, carry on luggage, expandable luggage,
lightweight luggage, checked luggage, softside luggage, and hardside

Take a Closer Look at Hardside Luggage
For a high school graduation gift, a long, long time ago - Not saying how long - my parents gave me my first set of luggage. Was that a hint? Two baby blue Samsonite hardside suitcases with one gigantic cosmetic case, which could hold a whole drugstore's worth. Each piece was hand held; each piece weighed more than I did. Ahhh, memories!
Enter the ring -the latest hardside cases- the leading edge of our contemporary, new millennium, luggage industry. Comparative featherweights, their endurance, durability, strength, versatility, wheeled convenience, and all-round design and superior engineering, pulverize the old hardside heavyweights. A first-round knockout!
Samsonite no longer offers the old hardside that I had at 18.
Elite brands of hardside luggage, such as Tumi or Victorinox Swiss Army, offer 21st century technology and design features that accompany the state-of-the-art features inherent in their complete luggage lines. Vapor, Tumi's hardside champion, is a futuristic, spinner-styled, polycarbonate shelled case which features the interior nuances of Tumi's other soft-sided collections such as divider panels, and tie-down straps. I like the fact that the telescoping handles retreat to protective interior braces to create a sleek rear view. An easily visible Tumi brand is tastefully set into the back panel of the luggage - if you don't want people to know this is Tumi luggage, this would be a problem. But most people are proud to carry the Tumi brand.
Think about looking at the new hardsides next time you're considering purchasing luggage. This is not your grandmother's luggage. Speaking of which, I wonder where my old baby blue luggage is now?

Briggs & Riley expandable Wide-Body Carry-On Luggage
Here's a true story. It begins as I try to squeeze my 22" carry on luggage into an airplane's teeny-weeny overhead compartment. Anxiety-ridden, perspiration-beaded, I hoist my bag and muscle it - Success! Close the door ... close the door.... &*#%... close the door. "I'm sorry," the flight attendant leans over, "The door must close; your bag will have to be checked." Aaaargh!
Here's a happy ending. After reading many blogs and after frequent luggage searches, I have found 4 luggage manufacturers who have caught on and caught up. Kudos to Hartmann, Tumi, Eagle Creek and Briggs & Riley for being ahead of the curve with their new wide-body, carry-on upright luggage. Briggs and Riley has a "Simple as That" lifetime warranty which fixes damaged luggage, regardless of how it got damaged. Eagle Creek and Victorinox have similar warrantees).
O.K., so I travel a lot and don't have piles of money. But experience has made me willing to spend a little more to get luggage that fits both domestic and international air travel carry on requirements and lasts a lifetime. I'm impressed with the Briggs & Riley 20" carry-on Expandable Wide-body Upright. It measures 20" x 16" x 8" - two inches shorter than the typical 22" carry on but is 1-2 inches wider. Briggs & Riley has more packing capacity than a standard 21" or 22" wheeled carry-on. Really! Better yet. This rolling carry on has an expansion feature which offers a 24% increase in capacity. Briggs and Riley's telescoping handle is on the outside of the bag leaving even more interior packing space, and the rolling carry-on luggage includes a built-in tri-fold garment sleeve. I like garment sleeves; they help prevent longer or more wrinkle-vulnerable clothes from creasing, and I just take remove them if I don't need them.
Let's face it. Air travel is an exercise in suppressed anxiety. Whether it's the quart-sized, clear, zip-lock bag squeeze; the public "items in bins" strip-show; the straddle, body-wand search; or the frantic moving-belt and bin retrieval, - squish feet into shoes, belts in loopholes, sweaters, jackets, handbags, wallets, watches, keys, bags, scanned infants and pace-makers (just kidding), computers, cell phones, ...go, go, go.
If I was looking for this, I would have signed up as a paratrooper.
