KLASIK Aluminum Carry-On Suitcase - Spinner 100% Aluminum TSA Approved (Carry On - 20", Black)

About time for a fresh American aluminum hardcase maker!I'm a million-miler air traveller and been travelling the globe with a Halliburton for a couple of years, and it kept getting out of alignment and dented. I even purchased a special rubber hammer to bang out the dents and realign the closing edges! The clasps had been popping open since the firs trip, I took along some tape to keep them closed.I was getting ready to bite the $1000 bullet on a Rimowa, when I saw this unfamiliar brand. Researched the company, and new on the block, but looked pretty good. So I took a gamble.When this arrived I place it side by side with the Halliburton, and this Enkloze is clearly burlier, with heavier clasps and thicker closing edge all around. The wheels are actually quieter and smoother (!), and the whole thing has a classy, solid feel.So I loaded it up and took it to Paris with excess poundage (shhh don't tell the airline).Well, yes a scratch from rough handling, but not a single dent, everything solid, still true and lined up!The rubber seal on the edge is abraded a bit from the trip, we'll see how long it lasts, I'll report back if it really degrades and interferes with good working of the suitcase.So I'm on record to recommend this unit, hope they do well and survive. We need more innovators to take a crack at making great products!

The suitcase seems to be nicely constructed overall and the wheels are very smooth.That said, the locks are sure to get sheared off or otherwise broken in travel as they stick out about 3/8: from the front of the case. This design wouldn't be a problem on a carry-on (or if you were using this for car travel) but for actual domestic or international travel I would be very surprised if it would last more than a few trips.I have no problem with cosmetic damage, but I am not willing to trust a case that might open during transit. As well, there does not appear to be an easy way to even replace the latches as they appear to be riveted into place.

I bought the Enkloze Carry on in Nov 2019 and was so impressed with its build quality and classy look that I promptly purchased the 24” check in piece also. I am super satisfied with the performance of both units over dozens of trips and many miles since then (writing this review in Jan 2024).The set is my go-to luggage for every single trip as they are reliable and just work! The dual wheels are buttery smooth and I totally enjoy pushing them along a smooth floor..they feel like I’m driving a solidly built even if the case is loaded to the max. I’d buy them again simply for the efficiency of the wheels alone!! (the designers really hit the jackpot with that aspect).It wears well, is a fraction of the price of a Rimowa and is arguably just as durable. The organizers included on the inside are a nice touch and very useful also. Can’t recommend it enough..buy it!!

Rock Solid case, the gasket around the inner rim is a nice touch, keeps everything inside dry. Purchased this because it does NOT have zippers. Somewhat pricey, there are lower cost units available (thank you Amazon for sending me the advertisements of the cheaper versions AFTER I purchased?!). Found out after this purchase that you can go direct to the manufacturer's website and buy the same item Two-Hundred dollars cheaper. Regardless, very sturdy, made of Aluminum so it will get dinged and scratched by the Baggage handlers, but the reinforced corners help mitigate a lot of the damage.

Update Jan 2023, my locks have both failed, the first one was about a year after I bought it, the second one failed a few months after that. I tried to contact Enkloze via their website for warranty, and 2 months later I have yet to hear back. For the price of this, I wouldn't have expected this to fail this quickly, I do not recommend this.Original review:I travel a lot for my Job and my old American Tourister carry on is starting to fall apart after 2 years. So I wanted to get a nice fancy one. This definitely beats my old one in style and build quality. I do wish some of the rivets were screws instead, but oh well. I'll probably end up vinyl wrapping it with left-overs from my car which should help protect it a bit too. At $250, I'm pretty happy with my purchase. I'll update if anything changes.

After the demise of my relatively new polycarbonate hard-shell luggage after four International Trips, I decided to either move to Aluminum or return to Fabric. However, as all Travelers know, Aluminum Luggage, specially made by Rimowa, while excellent quality is also expensive. After searching the web for different Companies who made Aluminum Luggage, I came across ENKLOZE - a relatively new Startup Company. According to the ENKLOZE website the Luggage is Created in California, Designed in Japan, and the shipping tag notes Made in China - the ENKLOZE website does not list China as the source of origin.I read several of the Reviews (all from Verifiable Purchasers) I decided to purchase a 28" ENKLOSE KLASIK. When the luggage arrived, I was more than modestly impressed by the quality of the Aluminum, the Locks - which were extremely easy to set - and the interior design. I liked the Luggage so much I decided to order the 21" Carry-on and the 24" Check-In. All of these pieces are of excellent quality.All luggage will suffer the mishandling of the Airline Baggage Handlers, and in the future, I will be more attentive to examine my luggage upon immediate arrival at my destination; however, I am positive the ENKLOZE Luggage will hold up extremely well.While I have yet to travel with the ENKLOZE KLASIK Luggage, I am planning to very soon. I will return to provide an update to my Review.
