In this July luggage review, I’ll dive into the performance, features, and design of the July Checked Trunk to give you all the information you need to decide if it’s the best choice for you.

Samsonite makes better luggage overall, but COOLIFE is the king of bang for your buck.

We rigorously tested 11 top Delsey suitcases for durability, maneuverability, and value. From the iconic Chatelet Air 2.0 to rugged trunks, find the perfect Delsey luggage for your next trip based on our hands-on reviews.

Monos is consistently our most-recommended luggage brand, but there are plenty of other awesome brands that we love, ranging from budget picks to ultra-luxury fashion brands.

We’ve spent years testing carry-on luggage on trips around the world. The Monos Carry-On is our go-to recommendation, but there are some other awesome choices out there.

July and Away are two of the best luggage brands out there. While July performs better overall, there might be a reason to consider choosing an Away suitcase.

You can’t go wrong, but Monos is better if you want the absolute best bang for your buck, and July is better if you want fancy features like built-in battery banks or removable laptop sleeves.

Monos is the number one suitcase brand we recommend, but Samsonite is the most popular luggage manufacturer in the world. Ultimately, which brand to choose depends on how you travel and what you prioritize.

Delsey offers timeless style and excellent durability, while Samsonite loads up on innovative features and modern design. The choice depends on what you prioritize in your luggage.
