Summary: The Once Great Oyster Now a Shell of Its Former Self
Comment: I purchase a new Oyster to replace the Oyster I bought ten years ago. What a disappointment: take it froma road warrior--this was once a great suitcase; no more. I just bought a new one: it does not have the suit hanger inside. The once best suit case on the market: kept your clothes dry at Philly when it rained for hours with your bag sitting on the tarmac; no ironing at your destination; easy to handle; super durable. Now, the suit hanger is gone, the new Oysters do not have a suit hanger so one half of the suit case is useless--empty space. I am sending mine back: Warning: if you are buying a new Oyster thinking that you are going to get that great great suitcase of old--you aren't. Don't bother. It's sad really. So so sad.

Summary: Indistructable
Comment: I too, am the owner of two 20 year old Oysters. They have been transatlantic over 12 times and also travelled on numerous cruises. Finally, one of the handles must have been caught in a baggage carousel and is distorted. Not only are they hardwearing, they are waterproof. They have survived 500 miles through France and Spain on the roof of a car during consistant torrental rain on the freeway at 70+mph. When opened everything was dry. I can think of no other suitcase that could withstand that.

Summary: Superb piece of luggage
Comment: This is a superb piece of luggage. I own two for almost twenty years ago. I have used both extensively during this period for international and domestic travel. The luggage is indestructible, light (10lb), and provides ultimate protection for your contents. I am in the market for another piece and after reviewing the newer products, it is more likely that I will settle for an Oyster....again:)

Summary: Sturdy, but not ergonomic
Comment: This thing is super tough, holds a lot of stuff, and I like the 3-sided locking method.
However, the handle and wheel arrangement are not conducive to dragging this thing long distances when it's fully loaded. Because of the layout, you end up lifting and holding the weight of the loaded suitcase while you're wheeling it. Not fun. And if you're tall, you're double hosed. If I stand straight up and try to wheel it, it flips up on its end. Lame.
I'm fairly happy with it, but I'm currently looking for something easier to drag around. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Summary: THERE IS A BETTER ONE
Comment: THIS MODEL DOES NOT HAVE THE REINFORSED LOCK AND HANDLE. IT LOOKS THE SAME BUT VERY UNSECURED.
