Notes from our data check
shop.samsonite.com and shop.americantourister.com returned a bot challenge (HTTP 307) to every request, so the figures come from the brand's Amazon listing. Listing B0DY9GB3MG (Black, model 156808-E293): "The packing dimensions are 20.75\" x 14\" x 10\" and the overall dimensions are 22.5\" x 14.5\" x 10\" and it only weighs 7.9lbs." It does not say whether 'overall' includes wheels and handles. CONFLICT: the spec table says 19.37 x 13.58 x 9 in and 7.5 lb. Expands up to 1.5 in; the expanded size is not published. Padded front pocket. List $209.99, selling at $178.49. Over 22 x 14 x 9 on every axis. Derived values: cm converted from the published inches (x2.54, 1 dp); kg converted from the published lb.
