Delsey Helium Fusion Lite 2.0 Expandable Suiter Trolley
- Spacious
- Well organized
- Rolls easily
- Expandable
- Polyester material
- Less durable than pricier bags
- Short, limited warranty
Experts say that budget-priced rolling luggage is fine for infrequent travelers, and reviews recommend the Delsey Helium Fusion Lite 2.0 Expandable Suiter Trolley as the best brand. The 9.5-pound Delsey is made with polyester instead of tougher Cordura nylon, and the five-year warranty doesn't cover accidental damage. While one review describes the fabric as "rugged," another finds that in actual testing, it doesn't stand up well to abrasion. Reviewers say the bag is roomy and easy to pack, with easily accessible compartments and a garment hanger. The bag measures 21 inches by 13.5 inches by 8.5 inches, small enough to fit into overhead bins with ease -- but the depth can be expanded by 2 inches if you're willing to check the bag.
The Delsey Helium Fusion Lite 2.0 Expandable Suiter Trolley luggage is featured in comparison tests at Good Housekeeping and SmartMoney magazine. The bag also gets high ratings from users at Luggage Online, eBags.com and Amazon.com.
