The editors at Matador Network review a lot of luggage, from backpacks to hardshell cases and duffel bags. To test them out appropriately, we take them on multiple trips and put them through the wringer. We roll them through city streets and country lanes; stuff them in overhead bins; carry them on hikes, bike rides, and boat journeys; put them though the cruel process of being checked at airports; and often chuck them in the back of cars without much care. What we never do to test luggage, however, is to drop them from space. But that’s what Samsonite does.
