Best luggage? Tumi vs. Travelpro vs. CHAD Briggs & Riley
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 20th, 2024 11:12 AM Author: magenta hairraiser sweet tailpipe I'm getting new luggage soon (just a carry-on and personal item) and want to hear from some LUGGAGE MASTERMEN (and MASTERWOMEN?) about which luggage brand is the best. I don't want to spend ten fucking trillion dollars on Briggs and Riley...there's gotta be something cheaper that's still really good, right? Don't most people just get Tumi or whatever and call it a day?
Also, I'm used to two wheels. Are four-wheel spinners for CUCKS, or do they have legitimate advantages over two-wheeled luggage? |
Date: September 20th, 2024 11:19 AM Author: poppy giraffe Tumi is good and will last you a LONG time 4 wheels are good because you can just push it along instead of having to wheel it behind you like some Greek grandmother going to the market edit Victorinox is good too, their gear will withstand a savage beating |

Date: September 20th, 2024 12:36 PM Author: irradiated claret space My theory is that luggage like diamonds or sunglasses is kike flame cause of monopolies and the ease of fooling goys
Most luggage is the same shit, made in the same Chink sweatshop. Its just branded by X comp and marketed as superior. The reality is if you travel the entire year most of this shit from Samsonite to whatever else is bullshit and will get destroyed.
The comps get arnd this because most Goys are only traveling 3-4 times a year so it will take many years for their luggage to fail. The comps can have "10 year warranties" or whatever but it doesnt matter because Goys wont use it enough and even if they do if u read the terms it has all sorts of exclusions for usual "wear and tear" or "misuse" etc.
I recently had an American Tourister handle break and thought abt taking it into get free fix but then I read the terms and was like LOL dont bother. Since I travel year round I've just accepted I will need to buy a new suitcase once or twice a year. I bought a $58 Desley now and we'll see how long it lasts.
There's prob some really good luggage that the flight attendants and pilots use, but it also cld be BS cause their comps prob just replace it if it breaks so u never hear abt it being shitty. I really think its almost impossible to make bullet proof luggage |
|
Date: September 20th, 2024 12:41 PM Author: magenta hairraiser sweet tailpipe Attendants and pilots use Travel Pro, which is what I'm thinking of getting (also seems reasonably priced). You are right that "high-end" luggage is probably like a lot of other luxury goods--made in the same facility as regular cheapo luggage, but has some additional adornments (a fancy leather handle, etc.) that allow it to be sold for several hundred dollars more.

|
Date: September 20th, 2024 12:46 PM Author: irradiated claret space the biggest things that can break in luggage are the wheels and handle and then rips in the case or the zipper giving out, i really wonder how "travelpro" is that much better. unless u had some new way of manufacturing shit i just dont believe it. if there are stats abt breakage it wld be nice but i bet travelpro intentionally sells cheap luggage to airlines for the PR, it wld be a great marketing trick
really, chinks will figure this out soon and make some 180 case that is indestructible
just looking at the pics of travelpros, the wheels look like the same shit, the soft cover is the same shit, how is this better? who actually proved this is better? its just brandname cause flight attendants get it for free?

Date: September 24th, 2024 7:40 PM Author: magenta hairraiser sweet tailpipe You've made some observations in this thread about problems with luggage, how they all use cheap wheels, etc. but I scrolled back through and I don't think you actually recommended anything. Is there a luggage company that isn't using the same cheap, breakable wheels and other cheap parts? There's got to be like, some high-quality luggage manufacturers who aren't using cheap plasticky wheels from a Chinese sweatshop, right?

Date: September 20th, 2024 12:39 PM Author: Wonderful House Boistinker I'm not an expert, mostly hear to listen to the mastermen. I had a briggs and riley carry on that I didn't realize was expensive, was second hand. It felt high quality, and lasted a few years, but then broke (my fault packing it too full and forcing it). Tumi stuff seems great but really expensive. I would try travelpro because as mentioned it's what you see aircraft staff use and I'm not trying to flex on anyone with my luggage branding.

Date: September 20th, 2024 12:46 PM Author: Wonderful House Boistinker Agreed for carry on luggage.
For briefcase or laptop bags, I could sort of understand getting a Tumi if I lived in NYC or someplace walkable where I was touching it a lot. But in real life, I have a Targus brand bag from Best Buy and it works great, and I'll buy another one whenever it breaks |

Date: September 20th, 2024 12:50 PM Author: irradiated claret space (Not a Goy)
This is what Ive realized traveling non stop Ive bought $15 suitcases in ghetto Asian markets to semi nice brands and its all the same shit. They never last if u use them enough. Its all made in the same chink factory, just branded differently. Ive yet to see ANY luggage that seemed it was made with a much higher quality to justify these inflated insane $150 prices or whtever. The warranties are all total bullshit with tons of exclusions
The cold hard nigga truth is its hard to make a indestructible suitcase, no one has done this apparently. These comps like Samsonite just maek money off Goys being stupid as shit |

I've had my BR and Tumi for 10+ years, obviously they get a lot of use and no problems ever. Since LVMH acquired Rimowa they upped prices and slashed quality. If you're set on Rimowa because of the aesthetics, look at buying a second hand piece from pre-merger when they actually built them to last.
