Delsey Shadow 5.0 (82 cm)
Ultra-tough polycarbonate check-in with a reinforced SECURITECH zipper — a durable French all-rounder
Key characteristics
Highlights
- ✓ 100% polycarbonate shell — light and impact-resistant
- ✓ SECURITECH reinforced zipper (3× harder to force open)
- ✓ Built-in TSA-approved combination lock
- ✓ Expandable, with quiet double-spinner wheels
Our take
Delsey's Shadow 5.0 is the sensible French alternative to the direct-to-consumer brands: a light, genuinely tough polycarbonate shell, a reinforced anti-break-in zipper and a TSA lock, and it's stocked and serviced right across the EU. It won't turn heads, but for a large check-in at this price it's hard to fault.
