Nautica Luggage Spinnaker 21 Inch Expandable Upright

We have the 21 and the 25" of this suitcase. They are fantastic. I bought the 21" one first then wanted the matching larger one. If you travel by air and not first class you don't want the 28" model it will be 2/3 full at most when it hits 50#.

There is a model that has the same shape but NOT the same color as this model. If you want 'the one' that has the bright colored side panels so you can literally see from 100' away at the airport, you want THIS model and only this model.

Soft sided luggage is much more survivable than hard sided, but these have a bonus; they are PADDED. might add a pound to the weight but they are very light weight, and it's well worth it to make the CONTENTS survivable when going through the gauntlet of airport luggage handling!

Found out an added bonus the other day: the 21" exactly fits inside the 25"; it can't be by accident it's an exact fit; well that sure makes storing easier and extra handy for a trip where you will be bringing more back than bringing with.

The photos online are terrible; these things are BRIGHT orange, like hunter's use for deer hunting, the yellow i hope is similarly bright.

If you like a little splash of color in your life, get the bright yellow or orange models and you will LOVE how easy they are to spot coming out of baggage. (of course, unless too many people read my review).

Update:

My wife and I just returned from a trip flying Delta, although it wasn't the easiest to put suitcase in overhead they did fit, no one questioned us. Another observation was we weren't the only ones using a suitcase that was a little on the large side.

Suitcase are pretty nice, the other couple we traveled with remarked how nice they were.

I just purchased two of these for use as carry on luggage, the product specs call out a 9x21x14" measurement which would be adequate sized for most airlines.

I just received mine and my measurements are 10"x22"x15", I have to decide whether to take a chance that they will fit or return now and purchase something smaller.

I also have the 29" Nautica, I haven't used any of these yet but they appear to be well made, zippers look and feel good.

I bought this since I needed something to replace a duffel bag which was on the verge of falling apart after so much flying. I am using this more for domestic land travel, and hope to use it for a flight this Summer. The suitcase is well constructed, and I am a fan of the colors. The yellow is more vivid than the photos provided, and the navy blue is navy blue in person.

One nice bonus (or accident) was the matching navy/yellow messenger bag was inside the suitcase. I'm not sure if other reviewers got one, but it was a nice surprise. Confirmation on if this was supposed to be included or not would be great.

Good quality construction, chrome painted plastic wheels aren't all that bad. Unexpanded 10.5" depth exceeds some domestic airline carry on limits. Telescoping handle takes a bite out of the available internal space
