I bought the 1560 after wasting my money on traditional luggage for years. Baggage Handlers and the equipment they use will eventually rip, tear, and destroy your cloth luggage, not to mention how dirty cloth luggage gets. The pelican 1560 solved my luggage concerns. More durable than any luggage I've seen, it's backed by a lifetime warranty, waterproof, shockproof, easy to clean, and practical. Although a bit heavier than cloth luggage, the positives far outweigh the one downside in my opinion. I was so pleased that I also purchased the Pelican Carry-on case, model 1510, to have a matching pair. People that work for the airlines use these for a reason...they're the best cases...period.
Pros: Durability & Lifetime Warranty
Cons: Weight
