I lived in Japan for 11 years and have traveled over 600,000 miles. The choice of luggage depends on the person and how much they travel and how far they travel. I bought my son a set of Amazon basic recently, it’s hard side but has the zipper which is better in my opinion. There were several pieces including a shaving kit and the price was reasonable. When I buy for myself the first thing I look for is weight Because you don’t want 8 pounds of your allowed luggage to be an empty suitcase. The second thing I look for is ease of rolling and spinning, the wheels need to be sturdy but not big. I also like a hard side because of their weight and because of their protection of what you are carrying and a zipper closure as well as a TSA approved built in lock. I use Travel Pro for roll aboard and carryon for under the seat. Samsonite has checked all my boxes for a middle price set and their guarantee is great! I buy in person so I can feel the weight and test the roll snd I buy from their outlet store. But the Amazon Basic would be my go to for a gift for my adult kids!
