IT Luggage Reviews – Suitcases Packed With Smart Design

IT Hardshell Suitcases

In this section, we will check out the top hardshell choices from IT Luggage. All of the suitcases that you’re about to see have great reviews from satisfied customers and they came out on top when compared to some other luggage from this brand. They obviously aren’t your only hardshell options, but they certainly are the best.

Duraliton Apollo Suitcase

The Apollo suitcase is one of the innovative pieces of luggage from this brand. It is made of Duraliton – an ultra-strong and lightweight material, which consists of two layers of Polycarbonate. And the specs of this luggage are proof of this since these are some of the most lightweight IT Luggage products I’ve seen.

In addition to that, the Duraliton Apollo collection is equipped with double spinner wheels, which give you great maneuverability of your suitcase. And the telescopic wheel handle has a button that allows you to lock it into position when it’s fully extended. Overall, you can expect that wheeling these around the airport will be a piece of cake.

One downside of these suitcases is that they don’t have any locks. So, you can’t have complete peace of mind when it comes to the security of your stuff. But you can always purchase a zipper padlock if you feel uncomfortable buying luggage without a lock.

The interior of the Apollo is fully lined, and it is divided into two packing compartments. The bottom compartment has elastic cross straps that are supposed to keep your clothes in place. And sadly, it doesn’t have any pockets.

On the other hand, the top compartment has a full zippered divider, which sports a large mesh pocket and a smaller slip pocket. Which are some good organizational features.

Asteroid Suitcase

The Asteroid luggage collection is made of 100% Polycarbonate, so you can expect these suitcases to be really lightweight and durable. Additionally, the shell also features a ribbed design, which will make all the scuffs and scratches less noticeable. Especially if you get the suitcase in a darker color.

Unfortunately, they don’t have reinforced corners. I find this to be an important impact-resistance factor since the corners of your suitcases are often the first parts to get dented or broken. The material itself is sturdy enough that this shouldn’t happen, but you can’t be 100% sure that it won’t happen.

But not to worry – in case the shell of your PC suitcase gets broken, you can easily repair it yourself.

Other features of this suitcase include double spinner wheels, a retractable telescopic wheel handle, firm and comfortable grab handles, and a TSA-friendly combination lock. Overall, nothing really surprising there – just the features that you expect from any good hardside suitcase.

Inside the Asteroid, you have two packing compartments. The bottom compartment has a small zippered pocket, as well as a pair of elastic cross straps that will keep your stuff in place. And in the top compartment, you have a full panel zippered divider with a large mesh pocket. Oh, and the capacity of these suitcases is expandable by about 3 inches, which is certainly a bonus.

Metamorphic Suitcase

The Metamorphic suitcase has a very unique shell design. This goes in its favor since any scuffs or scratches your suitcase might get won’t be nearly as visible as they would on a smooth outer shell. And by the way, that shell is made of pure Polycarbonate, which speaks volumes about the durability and sturdiness of this suitcase.

One thing I have to tell you is that there’s currently some ridiculous sale on Amazon – the smallest Metamorphic suitcase is 70% off right now. So, if you are interested in the suitcase, you definitely will not want to pass up that deal! And how could you not be interested in this lightweight hardshell with double spinner wheels, expandable capacity, and a TSA-friendly lock?

These suitcases are also equipped with telescopic wheel handles, which feature a push-button that locks them into position. And also a pair of soft grab handles – one on the top and one on the side.

When you open up this suitcase, you see that you have two packing compartments with a total of three pockets. Two are on the full-panel zippered divider in the top compartment, while one of them rests in the bottom compartment, and keeps company to the elastic cross straps. Nothing new and innovative there – but that’s not always a bad thing.

Crusader Suitcase

This IT Luggage suitcase is available in three sizes, as well as a value set. And honestly, it’s one of my favorites from their entire range.  Why? Because it is a zipperless suitcase. I have said this already, and I’ll say it another million times – zipperless luggage is much safer than zippered luggage. That’s because anyone can break open your locked zippered suitcase with a ballpoint pen.

Now, I do think that the design of this suitcase is a rip-off of the Rimowa Topas. But in a good way – the Topas is one of the best and most expensive suitcases that money can buy. If the IT luggage is even half as good as it, then it’s more than worth your money. And with the aluminum frame, 100% Polycarbonate construction, and double spinner wheels, I think it comes pretty close.

Polycarbonate is generally a pretty durable and impact-resistant material. But I really like the addition of the corner guards on this suitcase, since they make it even sturdier. And you will need all the sturdiness you can get if you want your suitcase to survive multiple flights.

The interior of the suitcase is priceless – you get a divider with pocket(s) in each compartment, which allows for great organization. Just keep in mind that the capacity of the Crusader is not expandable, due to the TSA latch closure. So don’t go crazy with souvenirs on your trip – you might not have enough space for all of them.

Signature Suitcase

The Signature suitcases feature a 100% Polycarbonate construction in a few different colors.

As for the features of these suitcases, all of them have double spinner wheels, a telescopic wheel handle with a locking push button, and expandable capacity. They also come with TSA-approved combination locks, so they’re a great option if you want your luggage to be perfectly secure.

The interior of the Signature is divided into two compartments; the top compartment features a zippered divider with two pockets, while the bottom compartment has elastic cross straps and a small zippered pocket.

All the Signature suitcases are also expandable, like many of the IT luggage range. This particular model expands 2.5 inches so you can either pack more, or bring a few gifts home from your trip.

IT Frameless Suitcases

This luggage is particularly interesting due to its unique build. All of these suitcases feature frameless construction, which means that even if they get dented, their shells will pop back. And that’s pretty awesome! You won’t have to worry about any scratches or scuffs on this IT Luggage.

*Note: Currently, the two suitcase collections featured in this review are only available as value sets. No frameless suitcases can be purchased individually.  Additionally, there is no information on their exact dimensions and weights.

Impact Frameless Suitcase

The Impact suitcases are pretty cool frameless suitcases. They come with a cool ripple/wave-like exterior which is great for hiding any scuffs or damage. Something that is bound to happen when you travel.

Honestly, if you didn’t know that these were frameless suitcases, you would think they were just basic hardshells. They have double spinner wheels, a TSA-friendly lock, a couple of grab handles, and a telescopic wheel handle. Pretty standard features.

But these have the benefit of the “indestructible shell” made from high-density EVA foam – it can’t be scratched, dented, or broken, which is pretty awesome if you ask me!

The Impact cases also feature two fully lined packing compartments with expandable capacity. The top one has a full zippered divider, with a mesh zippered pocket and a smaller slip pocket on it. The bottom compartment, on the other hand, features elastic cross straps. There are no pockets inside it.

Overall, if you want to try out something new, I would definitely recommend these frameless suitcases. You kind of get the best of both worlds – the lightweight and features of the hardshell, plus the durability of a softshell. And you wouldn’t have to worry about scratches and dents ever again, which is priceless!

IT Softshell Suitcases

The softside suitcases from IT Luggage actually feature the most innovative designs. So, that’s what we’ll mostly be talking about in this section. We will also check out their best regular softside suitcases, in order to cover as much of their range as possible.

Los Angeles Suitcase

The Los Angeles suitcase is as glamourous as the city that it was named by. For one thing, these suitcases are surprisingly lightweight, with the carry-on being under 5 lbs. And that’s impressive, especially if you consider that all the suitcases have a fiberglass frame inside.

But, what is even better is that the LA collection features extra-wide wheel handles, which are more comfortable than the regular telescopic ones.

I was never any good at physics, so I can’t precisely explain why that is. But it has something to do with how the weight of the suitcase is transferred to the handle when you’re pulling it around. And the wider the handle, the lighter the bag feels and the more comfortable you are.

Which will certainly come in handy, since this luggage features plain in-line skate wheels that require you to tilt your suitcase and drag it around.

Just like on other softsides, the LA suitcases have a single packing compartment. Which features tie-down straps and four mesh slip pockets on the top flap. In addition to that, you also get two external zip pockets, which are perfect for any stuff you want to have easily accessible. I love that – external pockets are pretty much the only reason why I still genuinely like using soft shell suitcases.

• Los Angeles 29.6”
• Los Angeles 32.7″

Megalite Fascia Suitcase

The Megalite Fascia is a collection of sleek, softside suitcases. And, even though they aren’t really famous for their innovative design, they are equipped with some great features. Like the double spinner wheels and the TSA-friendly lock. That’s right – these are the best softside suitcases for all of you who want to travel in style, but also knowing that your luggage is 100% secure.

They are really lightweight, but definitely not lighter than the Los Angeles collection. However, these suitcases have an expandable capacity – something that the previous collection was missing. There is a downside to this feature, though; the zipper for expansion is the front of the suitcase.

This means that when you decide to use it, there is a chance the suitcase is going to get bulky and tip a little to the front. Obviously, that ultimately depends on the amount of stuff you pack inside it.

The interior of this suitcase features a single packing compartment with tie-down straps to keep your clothes in place. And there are also two pockets on the top flap, in addition to two external pockets.

Overall, these are some really good suitcases for the price. They are easy to maneuver around, great for organization and they will keep your stuff pretty secure. And you thought you would have to make compromises on some of these features!

• Megalite Fascia 21.5”
• Megalite Fascia 26.6”

Debonair Suitcase

The Debonair suitcases are like the perfect combination of the previous two collections. They are remarkably lightweight and have double spinner wheels, as well as an innovative wheel handle.

I think the combination of those two features will make moving these around feel like fun, and not like a dreadful and painful task. Oh, and the handles on these suitcases can be locked into position, unlike the ones on the LA luggage.

The wide handle also means that you won’t have to deal with tubes sticking out inside the packing compartment. Which ultimately means more space for your clothes! You also get two tie-down straps inside, to keep all of your things firmly in place, as well as a large zippered mesh pocket.

But it’s not all rainbows and butterflies. For one thing, the Debonair suitcases don’t have an expandable capacity, and what you see is what you get. Additionally, they also don’t have any locks, so the safety of your items is questionable. And if you ask me, I would have loved to see a couple more pockets for better organization.

• Debonair 27.8”

Quilte Suitcase

The Quilte collection is one of the best-selling softshell collections from IT Luggage. No surprises there, since these are really some top-notch suitcases. They are lightweight, have double spinner wheels, a retractable wheel handle, and expandable capacity. And that is on top of their stylish design!

The interior of these suitcases is fully lined, and the main compartment is pretty spacious. However, you will have to deal with the protrusion of the telescopic wheel handle inside it.

Additionally, there is a large zippered pocket on the closure flap, as well as a large external zippered compartment for any last-minute necessities. Overall, in terms of organization, it’s a decent suitcase. Definitely not the best out of the bunch.

And there are also some downsides to the Quilte. For one thing, forget about a lock – you will have to get a padlock for the zipper pullers if you want your belongings to stay safe when you part with them.

What’s even worse, the zipper for expansion is to the front. And the suitcase bulges when expanded, and goes over the front wheels. So, there is a good chance that it won’t be able to stand upright and that it will tilt to the side if you fully pack it when expanded.

• Quilte 21.5”
• Quilte 27.4”
• Quilte 31.3”

Duotone Suitcase

The Duotone collection is also very popular. But unfortunately, I can’t tell you the exact specifications of these suitcases since they are not listed anywhere. I can, however, tell you that the smallest suitcase is 18” tall with the wheels and wheel handle and that it’s the perfect size for a carry-on. Since it is under 20”, you shouldn’t have any problem with bringing it inside the cabin on airlines all over the world.

What I can tell you about these suitcases is that they are made of high-density polyester, which is a pretty durable material. They are also equipped with single spinner wheels, a telescopic wheel handle with a push-button that locks it into position, and a couple of sturdy grab handles.

Oh and a pair of zippered external pockets on the front of the suitcase, which will definitely come in handy to all the forgetful packers!

The interior of the Duotone is fully lined and equipped with tie-down straps to keep your clothes in place. There aren’t any pockets inside the packing compartment itself, but there is a large zippered mesh pocket on the closure flap of the suitcase.

Sadly, the Duotone luggage is not equipped with any locks, so you would have to take the security of your belongings into your own hands. And the capacity of these suitcases is not expandable, so pack wisely!
