Best Lightweight Medium Suitcase

I bought 2 of these suitcases for a 17 day trip to Ireland and England with my spouse. They are amazingly lightweight. With soft sides, you are able to pack in a lot of items. There is a big front pocket that held rain gear, a packable down jacket plus a fleece or 2. The wheels work incredibly well on hard surfaces and the bag is very balanced and stable when standing upright. My only negatives are the handle and the zipper. I have the 21 inch carry on version and have the same issue. If you lean your hand on the handle, it collapses. Unfortunately, that is a bad habit for me. Also, the big outer zippers were hard to open and close. Noticing this before I left, I ran some candle wax around them. That helped a little. I was afraid that we would break the zipper or the pull but they held up with no problem. Overall, these suitcases are great!
