Calpak Ambeur Large review

The Calpak Ambeur Large costs the least of the verified hard shells here at a $325 list price, and it was $260 in a sitewide Black Friday sale when we checked. Calpak lists the exterior at 30.25 x 19 x 11.75 inches with wheels, which is 61 linear inches, so it stays under the common 62 inch limit with room to spare until you open the 2 inch expansion. Capacity is 100 L and the case weighs 11.2 lbs. The shell is polycarbonate with a polyester lining, and Calpak lists a TSA-approved lock, 360 degree spinner wheels and rust-resistant aluminum handles. Calpak suggests it for 1 to 2 week trips, extended vacations and family travel. The weak point is cover: it carries the 2-Year Limited CALPAK Warranty, against lifetime terms from Monos and July, and Calpak's own comparison shows it does not nest with other sizes for storage.
