This odd size suitcase is the kind that baggage handlers dislike coz they're bulky and super heavy. They hate them so they throw them even harder. I have a Rimowa Classic Cabin S in silver that I adore and never check-in lol.. I also have the Rimowa Hybrid Check-in M in black that has been on 3 long-haul international trips with me so far. The corners are scratchy, but zero dents or cracks on the body. It's pretty good and solid! I honestly do not recommend the full aluminium check-in version. Trust me it WILL get dented and not worth your thousands for it to be thrown around and dented like that. If you must must have a Rimowa aluminium, get the check-in so it stays with you. If you must must have a Rimowa check-in, get the hybrid. Much better quality than their full polycarbonate (those crack easily) and not as expensive as the the full aluminium. But still looks and feels expensive if u need that aesthetic boost. 😂
I have the same trunk coming u p to 5 years of use and 3 services in between. What you mentioned about quality/durability is true. The first time i ever checked in my trunk it lost one of its wheels probably due to mishandling during loading.
As a traveller used to fly 100k+ miles/yr, I use only Rimowa's bullet proof Salsa Deluxe after first Rimowa Stealth. Every Rimowa service tales long time so for any frequent traveller, better choose a bullet proof Rimowa instead of the most expensive Rimowa.
Thank you so much for your review. I am in the process of purchasing one..I can't loose sleep over this so I will just purchase a 24 inch carry on so that I can have it by my side at all times...Thank you again...
Can you post an update about the damages after those years? I have huge issues with my trunk getting really deep scratches and I’m a little bit worried about how the damage will be after a few years
Question please: Do you find the weight of the trunk empty, limits you to what you can pack into it and still stay within the total weight limit? Compared to some fabric luggage, the Rimowa can be 4-5 pounds heavier empty thus giving up 4-5 of packing capability.
Hey Lexie, I never had a problem with the weight as most of the time I have a weight limit of 25 or 30kg and only use it for the week. As you can see in the video I travel only with around 15kg for one week.
Is that the Rimowa Trunk the 28.8” trunk? I.e. not the trunk plus or trunk small. Have you ever had any problems at check in with it? Any airline staff trying to check it in as over sized luggage? Or make you pay extra if it’s over their luggage dimensions? I have two check in Large’s but thinking about the trunk for my bulkier items. Just worried about airline staff thinking it’s over sized or odd size luggage.
Hey Kristian it is the Trunk medium size which is equal to the check in large from its volume. I never had any issues with it due to the size. Usually I travel with Emirates but also used cheaper airlines like flydubai. For bulky stuff you will love it :)
damn I can get 33% off and after watching this vid, is it worth spending $1900 of the truck size or get the essential truck for $1000 but thats plastic n by seeing ur luggage with those dents is it even worth getting the plastic ones 🤔
The plastic ones will not get dents so easily I think. But they come with a zipper I think, which can be a weakness. If you need to carry more bulky stuff like boots or helmets, get the trunk. If not get a normal size.
airport luggage belt travels 30m/h and if you travel to cold countries, plastic is very brittle, and easily to break when crushes into conveyor belt turnings. metal ones are better in this sense, but if not packed full, metal cases will be squashed like a coke can easily.
I don't know man this looks more like a trouble to me. I mean aluminum looks awesome but right after one flight it won't look the same again. Then again the price point is extreme. I really want to make the most suitable purchase for me as everyone does. I am 6'7'' 230lbs muscular so I wear XXL sizes and I love getting my shearling jackets and my (46) sized boots with me during winter vacations but that happens once or twice per season. Summer is definitely easier as I only have to pack a couple of loafers, shirts etc. So I am wondering Check-in L or Trunk? And aluminum or polycarbonate?
Damn thanks for the video, I own a couple of rimowa class hand luggage and I'm still not ready to buy a suitcase for 1500 bucks to be thrown like that and cause him such damage when checking in luggage
It depends on your usage. If you need to carry bulky stuff like helmets or boots, I think the trunk is amazing. If you just wanna use it for holidays and normals clothes a few times per year, I would get the check in large. I think you can store that one better at home, it is more convenient to pack and feels more robust to me.
Hey Lexie, i thought the original would be more robust with better protected handles for check in. Also the edge Protection looked better on the original. As you can see in the Video the edges are usually the parts of the suitcase that gets some heavy hits.
Hey Einil, depends what is important for you. If you often have problems with 30kg weight allowance, go for the polycarbonate. In my experience, 25kg is already more than enough for that size. I often take my safety shoes, some tools and so on with me in the trunk. SO I prefer having no zipper and a more robust suitcase. But especially the zipper would annoy me I think. Also I like the feeling of aluminium and the pure classic rimowa design which started with aluminium.
I have the polycarbonate and the shell is too soft. My macbook got bent inside. Rimowa needs to make the shell harder. I love the space though. I want the aluminum because it looks the best!
All I heare about Rimowa so far is that it can be very very unreliable and if you don’t live in a country with a Rimowa store you better not buy it because you will not be able to service it. I really wanted one because the design is great but it seems better at this point to go with Samsonite as it has fantastic reliability and stores in virtually every contry (at least Europe and Asia).

Thanks for the tip, thinking of buying one
Just bought a trunk over the weekend while I was in Vegas and your videos helped me educate myself.
Even its damage or wear,your rimowa still beautiful.
I have the same trunk coming u p to 5 years of use and 3 services in between. What you mentioned about quality/durability is true. The first time i ever checked in my trunk it lost one of its wheels probably due to mishandling during loading.

I'm a bit of a Rimowa fanboy myself. Totally get the points about the size, even though I don't have that size myself.
We use cardboard box once we reach home recycle and get the other one. Enjoy yours.
Thank you so much for your review. I am in the process of purchasing one..I can't loose sleep over this so I will just purchase a 24 inch carry on so that I can have it by my side at all times...Thank you again...

Danke! Möchte mir einen kaufen, überlege schon einfach etwas gebrauchtes zu nehmen.
M thinking of getting a rimowa trunk for sure
a note to say thanks for making these videos!
i was torn between the Check-in L and the Trunk, and your videos helped me decide to go for the Trunk.
You will never go back to normal size :)!
You will never go back to normal size :)!

if you have problems with weight limitations get a plastic one

Samuel Crawford yes colder in the hold，but not that cold, airliner are heated in the hold.
Excellent review and video.
bro did a whole luggage review video without opening the luggage

Love Rimowa!
May I ask you what’s the size of your keepall in this vid, 45 or 55? Thanks x
55
Did the dead body fit inside?
Whats about the black one??
How is the wheel durability whenever you use this on asphalt?
Louis Vuitton KEEPALL sz55? thanks
Damn thanks for the video, I own a couple of rimowa class hand luggage and I'm still not ready to buy a suitcase for 1500 bucks to be thrown like that and cause him such damage when checking in luggage
Would you reccomend the trunk or check in L?

I think you can store that one better at home, it is more convenient to pack and feels more robust to me.
@@TheDubaiExpat thank you!
trunk if it is in good quality
get a Check in L if you don't need to carry big things.
nice test, but you never opened your case...
how many inches is Ur luggage
How is your Trunk so far now?
amazing, my favorite suitcase
Also please, how did you decide on whether to get the Original Trunk versus the Classic Trunk?
Hey Lexie, i thought the original would be more robust with better protected handles for check in. Also the edge Protection looked better on the original. As you can see in the Video the edges are usually the parts of the suitcase that gets some heavy hits.
classic more elegant, original more robust
Hi! Between trunk polycarbonate vs aluminium, which would you recommend? Thank you!
Hey Einil, depends what is important for you. If you often have problems with 30kg weight allowance, go for the polycarbonate. In my experience, 25kg is already more than enough for that size. I often take my safety shoes, some tools and so on with me in the trunk. SO I prefer having no zipper and a more robust suitcase. But especially the zipper would annoy me I think. Also I like the feeling of aluminium and the pure classic rimowa design which started with aluminium.
I have the polycarbonate and the shell is too soft. My macbook got bent inside. Rimowa needs to make the shell harder. I love the space though. I want the aluminum because it looks the best!
If you use that size and do the check in, you should have bought the cover.
how much is the total weight when filled completely of the rimowa trunk?
depends on what you put inside xD. I usually end up around 16kg.
I heard that the wheels of rimowa luggages are not durable. Is that true?
no not true. Maybe after 5-8years you have to give them some grease
This is Trunk S not the regular trunk, correct?
the smaller one of the two versions :), yes
@@TheDubaiExpat there are 4x versions now:
1) Trunk S (26" tall & 66 Litres)
2) Trunk (29" tall & 90 Litres)
3) Trunk Plus (32" tall & 105 Litres)
4) Trunk XL (32" tall & 130 Litres)
i think your one is the 29" & 90 Litres one, no?
Would love to know if this is the 29inch 90L one or the smaller one
Is this trunk or trunk plus?
trunk
where are u from
Blame TSA
All I heare about Rimowa so far is that it can be very very unreliable and if you don’t live in a country with a Rimowa store you better not buy it because you will not be able to service it.

in nearly 10 years not a single issue with mine. Guess I am lucky^^
Many cheaper brands have almost no problems and look nice after many flights.
Looks like india delhi
Seems inferior
Peasant! Buy a carbon one.
get a pelican case….less expensive and way more tougher
It looks like a used garbage can
