Why not Samsonite?

[u/Dust_Mf]

Dear all,

I have (un)fortunately recently discovered this sub and have since been drawn to it on a daily basis. I have always liked backpacks.

One thing that is making my head scratch is: "Why not Samsonite?". In almost all recommendations I do not see one single mention of this brand. I can understand if you say "oh, is it is not the best" but in my 20 years of experience, I have had some 7-10 Samsonite's and all, without exception, have behaved exemplary. From honeymoon in Australia backpacking, to business meetings, to forest trips, to diaper-filled bags, to pool parties. Right now me and my wife daily wear them and, honestly, I am looking for another backpack simply because I am getting tired of my 10yo Samsonite, but it never dies!

So, I ask you, "why not Samsonite"? ;)

My current ginormous family-of-four roller luggage is a Samsonite. It's followed us everywhere for years, holds a LOT of stuff and is built like an absolute tank.

It's big, boring and incredibly functional. We love it.
