Zippers became common because luggage was mostly soft-sided for 30-40 years. You can't have clasps or latches with soft-sided luggage.

The latch system and associated aluminum frame construction really increase the weight of the case. A similar sized hardshell spinner case from say, Rimowa or Victorinox with a zipper weighs 1.5-2kg less empty. This is a lot when many European airlines allow a max carry-on weight of 8-10 kg, and in Europe they do sometimes weigh carry-on bags. If I lived in the US and weight wan't an issue I'd definitely consider one of these though.

Been eyeing the Trunk size. I Travel a fair amount and check in mostly. I think the Trunk should fit my needs without breaking the bank.

If you get it, let me know how it is. I was looking at the trunk too.

That color is called Tarmac grey but isn’t it navy blue?

@3:05 and @3:57 I see that your case is not closing properly / completely even when locked. On the right end of the orange seal there is a loose gap along the seal. Is your case damaged or was it always like that?

@EDG 3 ай бұрын

Nah it’s supposed to be like that because rhe case flexes a little. It’s not a watertight seal, but it stays closed

Can you close the latch if you overpack? With zippers I can always push in the bag and pull the zipper simultaneously 😅

@EDG 6 ай бұрын

Yea, it works the same as a zipper. It’s more dependent on how flexible the hard shell is to allow stuff to compress. But yea, I sometimes just sit on the case and latch it down

@shko-mi 6 ай бұрын

Awesome, thanks for a quick reply! It's a bit expensive, but I think I'm buying one 👍🏻

"Is his suitcase easier to push than Rimowa's? What about the weight it can carry?"

@EDG 6 ай бұрын

im not sure, I haven't used Rimowas. It can carry probalby up to 50lbs, as thats the limit for carry on in some airlines.

Just recently ordered a bag and buyers beware shipping from Germany is and still is a nightmare don't expect it in a timely manner they do not have shipping from within the US so you pay $50 for slow boat thru china and tracking is worthless and inaccurate. Honestly save the $50 and just go buy local.

Beware of buying from Floyd directly if you are buying from the US or basically anywhere outside of Europe. I ordered a Floyd cabin, the quality of the product is not up to par with the price, the only cool thing about this product is the skateboard wheels which are not even conventional skateboard size wheels. The case is just plastic and the interior space is very small. Outside of the items that I mentioned above, the biggest issue was returning the product. Germany and you have to cover the costs of the shipment. To be fair. They do mention in their website that they only cover returns inside Europe. But if you're shipping this case back to Germany, be prepared to spend between 100 to 200 US dollars just to return the item and get some of your money back.

Thanks for clarifying that! Good point. Interesting about the case quality! I actually thought it was pretty good. It's far superior to bags like Monos or Away (which are less expsnvice so it makes sense), and less quality than Rimowa (which is of course way more). I thought the quality scaled with the price.
