Is the Swiss Mobility SFO set worth it?

It is a reasonable buy if you want three matching hard-shell bags at a low price and fly a few times a year. If you check bags often, spend more on polycarbonate or a stronger shell.

How does ABS compare to polycarbonate?

ABS is cheaper and lighter but cracks or scuffs more easily under hard impacts. Polycarbonate flexes back into shape and usually lasts longer.

What are the sizes and weights?

The set includes a carry-on and two check-in bags. The medium check-in weighs 8.2 lb empty; the large check-in measures about 27.25 by 19 inches.

Does the carry-on fit airline overhead bins?

The carry-on is 9 inches deep, which fits most major US carrier sizers. Check your airline's limit, since some budget carriers are stricter.

How does the expansion system work?

A zipper releases extra depth, up to about 13.75 inches on the large bag. Expand it only when needed, since overstuffed bags stress the zipper and shell.

When is the best time to buy this set?

Luggage sets usually drop around back-to-school, Black Friday and pre-summer sales. Compare the current price with its recent range before buying.
