Our take on the SwissGear Stride Hardside Medium Checked Spinner

The SwissGear Stride is a medium checked hardside spinner with a polycarbonate shell, four dual spinner wheels and a telescoping handle. It weighs about 8.4 lb, which is heavier than many polycarbonate bags of the same size, so pack light if you fly on weight-limited fares. The hard shell and built-in TSA-friendly lock suit checked travel, and the interior has a zippered divider and cross straps. Reviewers generally rate the shell and wheels well but note the weight and limited interior pockets against lighter rivals.
