Luggage recommendations

[Cruzerman]

My Delsey has seen its last trip and I need to replace it. It was a solid performer, having made 20+ international trips. But it's time to retire the soldier.

 

Being from the US, I am wondering if a TSA locks are worth the price. I have left my luggage unlocked on some trips for fear of having someone break open my suitcase for some reason. Not very comfortable doing that. I've heard Samsonite is a good quality case. I priced them in LOS on my last trip, but it seemed as expensive as home. And I only found one case with TSA locks, and it was greatly overpriced.

 

Any recommendations out there? Thanks in advance!

I used to think that hard cases were the way to go, but now I find they're too heavy an inflexible.  If you're looking to make a long term investment, I'd suggest you get a Briggs and Riley bag.  They are have a great build quality and a no quibble lifetime guarantee - including airline damage!  http://www.briggs-riley.com/  Choose between a traditional case or a duffle shape.
