The exterior of the Samsonite SoLyte luggage is made of 100% rugged polyester weave for reliability and durability over many long years of use. The material is easy to clean and is ultra-resistant to damage and liquids. On the front there is a half deep zippered pouch for things you need to access quickly, behind that a full length deep pouch.

Push the suitcase in front of you or pull it behind you with solid double spinner wheels equipped with hardened steel cartridge bearings that roll 360 degrees smoothly, offering comfortable one-handed mobility. In addition the load is reduced by a sturdy ergonomic push-button locking handle. Padded top and side carry-handles also provide comfort when lifting a fully-packed case.

An ID tag is on the side, inside a spring-loaded slot so that when you pull it up, it snaps back down inside. With the smart sleeve system on the 21” carry-on bag, you can secure it on top of the 25 or 29-inch suitcases and still maneuver them easily and smoothly.

Samsonite Solyte DLX is  sleek, stylish, and modern with three color options to choose from: Mediterranean Blue, Midnight Black and Mineral Grey.

All three colors are versatile, gender neutral, and professional looking. The interior on the grey and blue has black and light blue lining and the black has dark grey and black lining.

Inside the Samsonite SoLyte DXL luggage you’ll find the elastic straps with smart fix buckles to keep them out of the way when not in use. A very handy feature since it’s all too easy to pack on top of compression straps and then have to go digging for them overturning your neat bag.

A zipped mesh pocket is a nice feature to separate items. Plus a tri-fold garment holder is ready to keep clothes less wrinkled. Added with users in mind is a small clear toiletry bag and the WetPak pocket for better integrated organization.

The storage capacity is maximized with the interior and exterior organization pockets and expandable zipper, for even more room. The lining is soft and smooth to the touch, plus sturdy. The interior on the grey and blue has black and light blue lining and the black has dark grey and black lining.

The Samsonite Solyte DLX line offers 3 luggage sizes: 21” carry-on, 25” medium and 29” large.

You can buy them separate or if you’d like a matching set, all three sizes can be purchased as a set on Amazon.

Many people worry about the durability of soft luggage in travel especially if it gets wet. To solve that problem Samsonite has wisely crafted  luggage from durable nylon that is especially resistant damage. On top on that it’s coated in Samguard treatment to make it weather resistant. Instead of your case getting soaked, water will bead and run off.

This bag has excellent ribbed corner reinforcements, and rubber skid rails on the back to reduce wear on the fabric when the bag is slid while lying flat down.

Some users have reported the zippers were not as sturdy as they would hope for. It’s a good reminder to always test your luggage before taking a major trip. With that said in the case of a malfunction, Samsonite offers a 10-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

The Samsonite SoLyte DXL luggage is a is on the higer priced end for luggage. However, you get what you pay for with this quality made bag fit with excellent features for all travelers.

You’re looking at around $150 for the medium size I’m reviewing.

It’s also important to know this bag comes with a 10-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
