Of the three options available most customers prefer the carry-on.
Whether you are doing a domestic tour, going overseas, or visiting the upcountry Samsonite Winfield 3 Carry-On 20-Inch will suffice.
Some people prefer to get all three choices as a set to get a discount.
The largest of the three is a 28-inch, and then there is the medium size at 25 inches and the small size at 20 inches.
So what reason do you have for not enjoying your vacation, or traveling with all your valuables nicely accommodated in one hard side luggage?
Samsonite Winfield 3 even gives you the comfort of not exceeding the cabin luggage at the airport, if you don’t have a lot of stuff to carry just use the 20-inch hard side luggage and if you are traveling with the whole family then you can use the 28-inch carrier.
What to expect from Samsonite Winfield 3 DLX
Samsonite Winfield is not only functional but also features a professional design; color should not be a concern as you will get up to five options, (graphite grey, blue/navy, silver, black, and rose).
As you may have noticed you won’t have to compromise your style for color, because you get both the bright statement colors to the toned-down professional colors that are guaranteed to attract a few looks at the airport.
Now for ease of movement, you have been provided with a push-button handle that has a soft rubber seal, which also cushions your hand as you pull on it.
The pull handle is made of lightweight durable aluminum for ease of movement and resistance under the weight of your luggage.
For the security of your luggage, you do get the TSA combination lock that has been mounted on the side, and the security feature incorporated is hassle-free because you don’t need a key to open or lock it
But what is the purpose of a lock with a flimsy zipper? Well, with this model, you don’t have to worry about the zippers falling on you because Samsonite improved the quality.
They finally understood that customers were unhappy about the Winfield 2 zippers and changed them on this model.
Now let’s talk about movement, Samsonite Winfield 3 DLX has incorporated 360-degree spinner wheels similar to Winfield 2, so you don’t have to keep turning your wheels whenever you change direction, but rather push the luggage and the wheels will adjust to the direction that you take.
I think that this luggage requires double spinner wheels, not single ones. Single ones give it a cheap look, but Samsonite decided otherwise.
What are the key features?
Traveling calls for convenience in packing, so what does Samsonite Winfield 3 offer?
For starters, you do get a meshed zipped pocket for your lightweight stuff.
On the inside, the bag is spacious enough to fit your clothes, of course, depending on the size that you decide to go with.
The manufacturer has also incorporated internal cross elastic straps to hold your clothes in place after packing.
You also get 4 pockets on the inside complete with zippers to help you organize and secure your stuff, and a 2 sided divider panel that will ensure that you make good use of the available space.
Remember that the weight of your luggage can be minimized by how well you arrange your belongings.
The outside body of the hard-side luggage features a durable polycarbonate material that will ensure the safety of your belongings.
The case is not scratch resistant, but you should not be worried. The finish of the case makes minor scratches barely visible.
And just before the self-retracting carry handles, there is a small handle that you can use if your luggage is not packed to the full, and you don’t feel like dragging it on its 360 degrees spinner wheels.
Did you know you only get an extended warranty on a product that the manufacturer has confidence with, and that is why with the Samsonite Winfield you are given a clean 10 years warranty?
The warranty only covers damages that might result from poor workmanship, or if some of the materials used in the construction of the hard side luggage were defective.
Just so you know the Samsonite Company has its customer’s interests at heart and does carry out a thorough inspection, before releasing its products to the market.
They do have strict standards which are evident by their ability to top the industry for more than 100 years.
And just so that you are sure about the sizes of the set of the hard side luggage and if they will be able to accommodate your belongings, let us look at the sizes:
- The 20-inch luggage measures 22.5 x 14.5 x 9.5 inches and weighs 6.97 pounds, which is inclusive of the wheels and the handles.
- The 28-inch hardside measures 30.5 x 20.5 x 13.25 inches, its total weight is 10.96 pounds.
- The 25-inch hard side luggage, which also happens to be midsized, measures a total of 8.9 pounds inclusive of the wheels and handles, other dimensions are 27 x 17.25 x 11.375 inches.
All three cases can be nested into each other for long term storage.
From the above information, you will be able to discern if the hard side luggage will suffice your travel needs.
The information on dimensions can also be used to calculate the overall weight after you have put your stuff inside.

The reason being to prevent coming into trouble with airport security or having to pay more for extra luggage, and as you go out in search of a good traveling case or bag there are some basics that you need to look out for.
For example, check on the material that has been used for construction, as it should be strong enough to stand the pushing and shoving during loading and offloading.
The luggage carrier should also be easy to clean with the available detergents in the market without necessarily getting damaged.
