We've found a host of Samsonite favorites at the most affordable they've ever been. That's the magic of early Black Friday sales! This Evolve duo includes a carry-on and a large checked suitcase — both hard-sided for extra protection and durability. They're also expandable and have dual-sided zippers, so they won't strip easily over time.

Amazon has slashed the price on this luggage set to just $158, which is a hefty $151 off the regular $309 price tag. At 49% off, this is one of the better luggage deals we’ve spotted this season, especially for current-model Samsonite gear.

Look for luggage that's lightweight, as heavy bags can quickly add to your overall travel load, especially if you’re close to airline weight limits. Lightweight luggage is also easier to maneuver, making it ideal for busy airports and long trips. We like polycarbonate bags—they provide solid protection while keeping weight low.
