- Is the Silhouette 18 worth it over cheaper Samsonite cases?
- It uses a more flexible polycarbonate shell, double wheels and a TSA lock, and carries a 10-year warranty. If you check bags often, those hold up better than entry-level hard shells.
- How heavy is it empty?
- About 13.5 lb. That is heavy for a check-in, so check your airline's weight limit before filling it.
- Does it expand?
- Yes. A zipper expands the main compartment for extra room on the return trip.
- Is the shell carry-on size?
- No. This is a check-in size, so it goes in the hold rather than the overhead bin.
- What is covered by the warranty?
- Samsonite covers manufacturing defects for 10 years. Airline damage and normal wear such as scratches are not covered.
- Does it have a TSA lock?
- Yes, a built-in TSA combination lock, so security can open it without cutting the zippers.
