& more brands adding soon
Samsonite is the world's best-known premium luggage brand, and CarryScore has scored its India range across Durability & Build, Mobility, Capacity & Compliance, and Handling & Comfort. The lineup spans polycarbonate hard-shell cases and ballistic-nylon/polyester soft luggage — from cabin bags to large check-ins and matched sets — across a wide price ladder from roughly Rs 5,000 to over Rs 1,00,000 for flagship ranges. Premium lines carry up to a 10-year global warranty, and most ship with TSA-approved locks.
Samsonite's hard-shell ranges — Myton, Winfield, Omni, and the flagship Evoa — are polycarbonate, scoring high on Durability & Build and Mobility with premium wheels and shells. The soft ranges use ballistic nylon and polyester, scoring higher on Capacity & Comfort with expandability and organisation. Even Samsonite's entry lines (and the Samsonite Red sub-brand) sit a tier above most value brands on build.
Core ranges come in cabin, medium, and large, plus matched sets. The cabin size fits carry-on limits for most Indian domestic carriers, including IndiGo, Air India, and Vistara. The medium and large suit longer and international trips, where Samsonite's build advantage shows most. Always check your airline's exact cabin dimensions before flying.
Most Samsonite hard-shell ranges ship with TSA-approved locks and are engineered for long-haul international travel — the brand's core strength. Flagship ranges like Evoa add lightweight, high-impact shells for frequent flyers.
Samsonite backs its premium ranges with up to a 10-year global warranty — among the strongest in the market — with a wide service network. Our Durability & Build score factors in wheel and zipper quality and shell impact resistance from verified buyer feedback. The trade-off is price: Samsonite is a premium brand, and the value case rests on longevity and warranty rather than upfront cost.

Every product is rated on 5 dimensions: Value for Money, Build Quality, Travel Readiness, Portability, and Features. Weights shift based on your trip type — a durability build values warranty 5× more than a weekend trip profile.
Each product is benchmarked against its peer group — same size, shell type, and wheel count. This means a lightweight cabin bag is compared to other cabin bags, not 30L duffels. Prices and weights are shown as % above/below average.
The winner in a comparison is the product with the highest composite score for your selected trip type. We show you exactly which 2–3 dimensions gave it the edge — so you can decide if those things matter to your trip.
| Size | Capacity | Typical Use | Check-in? | Avg Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cabin / Carry-On | 20–40 L | 1–5 day trips, business travel | No — overhead bin | ~2.5 kg |
| Small | 35–50 L | Weekend to 1 week, light packers | Sometimes | ~3 kg |
| Medium | 55–70 L | 1–2 weeks, family trips | Yes | ~3.5 kg |
| Large | 75–95 L | Long trips, winter clothing | Yes | ~4.2 kg |
| XL / Check-in | 100 L+ | Extended stays, group packing | Yes | ~5+ kg |
Airline cabin limits typically run 55 × 35 × 25 cm. Always check your specific carrier — budget airlines are stricter.
Polycarbonate is lighter and flexes on impact — less likely to crack. ABS is cheaper but stiffer. For frequent flyers, polycarbonate is worth the extra cost.
A 500g difference in empty bag weight means 500g less in clothes on every trip you take. Lighter bags also help avoid check-in weight surcharges.
8-wheel spinners (4 double wheels) roll in any direction — effortless in airports. 2-wheel uprights handle rough terrain better and often survive longer.
3+ years is a sign the brand stands behind its quality. Check if the warranty covers airline damage — most don't. Mokobara and VIP offer the strongest coverage in this catalogue.
