Our take on the 2-Piece Samsonite Centric 2 Hardside Expandable Luggage Set (20/28")
The Samsonite Centric 2 set pairs a 20-inch carry-on with a 28-inch checked spinner, both hardside and expandable. The shells are 100% polycarbonate, which flexes on impact and keeps weight down compared with ABS or softside bags. Each case has four dual spinner wheels, a retractable handle, and a full-zip interior divider with cross straps. It suits travelers who want a matched carry-on and checked bag with room to expand on the return trip; against premium hardside rivals it gives up some shell rigidity and wheel smoothness, and owners note the exterior scuffs easily.
- 100% polycarbonate shell flexes instead of cracking
- Both cases expand for extra packing room
- Four dual spinner wheels roll upright and beside you
- Full-zip interior divider plus cross straps keep contents in place
- Carry-on size suits most major US airlines

Questions and answers
- Is the carry-on accepted by major US airlines?
- The 20-inch case is built to standard domestic carry-on dimensions, but expansion adds depth. Keep it unexpanded on stricter carriers.
- What is the shell made of?
- Both cases use 100% polycarbonate, a flexible plastic that resists cracking better than ABS.
- Do both cases expand?
- Yes. Each case has an expansion zipper that adds packing depth.
- Does it have a TSA lock?
- No. The set has no built-in lock, so add a TSA-approved padlock if you need one.
- How does it compare with Samsonite's softside sets?
- The hardside shells protect contents better and wipe clean, but softside bags stretch and have exterior pockets the Centric 2 lacks.
- What is in the box?
- One 20-inch carry-on spinner and one 28-inch checked spinner.
