Ideal for both business and leisure trips, this suitcase offers a blend of practical features like a robust polyester build, smooth-rolling wheels, and an integrated TSA lock.

The Rock Paris Soft Shell Suitcase excels in scenarios where agility, lightweight design, and convenient access are paramount. Its 100% polyester material makes it notably lighter than many hard-shell alternatives, which is a significant advantage when adhering to airline weight limits or when lifting into overhead bins or onto baggage carousels. The 8 smooth rolling wheels with 360-degree rotation transform airport navigation; you can effortlessly glide the suitcase alongside you, push it in front, or pull it behind, even in tight spaces. This reduces strain and improves your flow through busy areas.
The telescopic push-button handle operates smoothly, allowing you to quickly adjust it to a comfortable height. For business travelers, the large front pocket is invaluable, providing easy access to laptops, tablets, boarding passes, or documents without needing to open the main compartment and expose your packed clothing. This feature also serves general travelers well for last-minute additions or items needed quickly on arrival.
The integrated TSA lock offers a crucial layer of security, deterring opportunistic theft while ensuring your bag can be inspected by security personnel without damage. When you return home, the nestable design is a practical benefit, allowing smaller cases to fit inside larger ones, freeing up valuable storage space in your home.
While highly durable for general travel, users should be mindful that the soft-shell nature means it won't offer the same rigid impact protection as a hard-shell case. However, its flexibility can be advantageous for fitting into overhead compartments or car trunks with slightly less rigid shapes. This suitcase is a reliable companion for various trips, from short business jaunts to extended leisure travel, offering a balance of utility and convenience.
Unpack: Remove all packaging materials and internal protective wraps.
TSA Lock: The integrated TSA lock will likely be set to a default combination (e.g., 0-0-0). Refer to the small instruction leaflet often found inside the front pocket or main compartment to reset your personal combination.
To set your combination:
Ensure the lock is open (usually set to 0-0-0).
Locate the reset button (a small pinhole or lever).
Press the reset button firmly (often with a pen tip) until you hear a click.
Set your desired 3-digit combination by rotating the dials.
Push the shackle or slide the release button to reset the button. The lock should now open with your new combination.
Handle: Extend and retract the telescopic handle a few times to ensure smooth operation.
Travel Types: Suitable for all types of travel, including air, train, and car. The lightweight design is particularly beneficial for air travel.
Airline Carry-On: The "U/S" (45 x 36 x 20cm, 28 litre) and "SML" (55 x 40 x 20cm, 34 litre) sizes are often compatible with carry-on restrictions for many airlines. Always check with your specific airline for their latest cabin baggage dimensions before travel.
Capacity: Available in multiple sizes to accommodate different trip lengths:
U/S: 28 litres
SML: 34 litres
MED: 56 litres
LRG: 92 litres
XLRG: 126 litres
Cleaning: For general dirt or marks, wipe the exterior fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which could damage the polyester material. For stubborn stains, a soft brush can be used gently. Allow to air dry completely before storing.
Wheel Maintenance: Periodically check the wheels for any tangled hair, string, or debris. Remove any obstructions to ensure continued smooth rolling. A small brush or tweezers can be helpful.
Handle Care: Avoid applying excessive force to the telescopic handle. If it feels stiff, ensure no items are obstructing its mechanism. Do not force it if it's stuck.
Storage: When not in use, store the suitcase in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you have multiple sizes, nest them inside each other to save space. Ensure the suitcase is clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
