- Is the Silhouette 18 worth it over a cheaper hard case?
- If you check a bag often and want a garment bag plus a 10-year warranty, the extra structure is worth it. If you only need basic packing, a lighter polypropylene case does the job for less.
- Is 25 inches carry-on size?
- No. At 25 inches it is a check-in bag, sized for trips of about a week. Carry-on limits are smaller, so plan to check it.
- Does it have a TSA lock?
- Yes. A TSA combination lock is built into the shell, so security can open it without breaking the zipper.
- How much does the garment bag hold?
- It holds one or two hanging garments, such as a suit or dress, folded over the panel. It is not a full wardrobe and reduces main-compartment space.
- Is the shell expandable?
- Yes. A zipper expands the case for extra packing room, which helps on return trips with souvenirs.
- What is covered by the warranty?
- The 10-year warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Airline damage and normal wear are not covered.
