Check out this bag... yes it got smashed, but did it do its job? No zipper, aluminum frame, metal corners... will I use it again? What are your first impressions? Are you considering a new bag? You need to watch this video!
This was a real nice review, only one that I have been able to find with in depth analysis of it. I have this bag as my main option for check in luggage right now. Thank you very much for the video!
Aluminum is not a good choice for bags... zipless or not, I wouldn't buy metal luggage. It's expensive and if it gets damaged you can basically throw it out. Best luggage material is PP, it's durable but also "bendable", so even if it is kept being thrown around and bends, you can "unbend" it without breaking. (of course nothing is unbreakable, so there can be extreme forces but generally speaking it's pretty durable). It's also lightweight. Just came home from a 2 week trip to Korea and my low-end March Canyon checked luggage survived the round trip without so much as a scratch. I spent a 150 USD on this bag. You can literally buy two March bags from the price of one Level 8. These trendy brands are overrated and overhyped.
Agree that aluminum is not the best material for luggage. But just to be clear... this bag is made from poly-carbonate. The inner frame and corners are aluminum, so that means only 10% of the total bag is likely made from aluminum. Thanks for your comment.
