Black or Coffee?

As a salesman of luggage of all kinds I can say that this piece is my favorite piece. Hartmann is a company that has been around for a long time. Because of this you know that they are aware of what they're doing. Everything about this luggage represents quality.

The bag is structured quite well with a honeycomb plastic molding which helps keep the bag's shape and also protects it's contents. Also there is only screws in this bag. Not one pop rivet. Pop rivets are used on less expensive luggage and once they get broken it's very difficult to replace them.

Next, the handle and wheel system is state of the art. The handle is actually made out of fiberglass which is quite durable and also light weight. The wheel system uses inline skate wheels which allows a very smooth ride through the airport or wherever you decide to take it.

Overall, this is one of the best if not the best bag you can buy. However it is expensive....so you have to keep in mind this is for one that travels quite extensively. If you only travel a few times a year take a look at Hartmann Studio which is Hartmann's lower line. But if you have the money this luggage has my approval!
