I’ve been using the heavy metal LW suitcase + Pilot bag the past 6 years. Not impressed in the least and finally gave up on them-too heavy and falling apart. I also went with the Andare 3 piece set. I’m on my 3rd trip with this set. At $140 I feel like I stole it. I went from 2 bags that cost $500 to 2 bags that cost $140 (no tax/free shipping) and the quality honestly feels like the prices should be reversed. Absolutely love them.
