9 Best Delsey Luggage in 2024 reviewed & compared

Hardsides are seldom expandable and you can gain an extra 2 inches of packing space too. Irrespective of whether you are considering the carry-on or mid-size or even the 29” we’ve shown here, you will definitely have yourself a suitcase that rolls well. The carry-on option has a front pouch as well which is a super handy feature to have. These are reasonably light as well. The handles can be locked in a couple of positions which helps. The zippers are also well made and most users haven’t had any issues with them which is a big positive.

Like any other luggage in the market there are some trade-offs. Some users reported that the paint from the handle does tend to fade away on the larger model. The main issues however is related to its hardside properties. It can be prone to scratches and some dents if handled in a very rough fashion. The Wheels however stay strong throughout.

Price wise we would say it’s between a low to medium price point, in their respective sizing categories. The quality definitely makes it a worthwhile investment. It also comes with a 10 year limited warranty.

Constructed with Ballistic Polyester and reinforced with corner protectors and skid bars, this medium-sized luggage will last you for years to come. 

It comes in 2 different colors - black and purple.

The interior of the luggage features multiple compartments for improved organization, as well as quick-access exterior pockets for all your travel documents and essential trinkets. The luggage also includes a separate pouch for toiletries and shoes, something that comes quite convenient during those long-term travels abroad.

Still lacking space? Worry not, if the 9 separate interior pockets simply don't cut it, the luggage can expand up to 2 inches, giving you additional space for all your much-needed valuables. 

The Sky Max is made with comfort and ease in mind. It’s adorned with comfortable touchpoints for easy handling, cushioned neoprene handles, as well as a pair of side and bottom carry handles. Some users did point out that the retractable handle tends to be a bit flimsy, but keep in mind that Delsey offers a 10-year manufacturer's warranty on all faulty products, something that can come real handy in cases like these.

On top of it all, the luggage is equipped with a dual-position trolley system for 2 or 4 wheel use, so you’ll have no trouble pacing from one side of the airport to another. 

Available in 2 options (Chocolate & Champagne)

The Chatelet Hard+ is indeed a work of art. It’s not often a Polycarbonate luggage looks good but this one sure does. The faux leather accents & the rich interiors make this an extremely good looking spinner suitcase. The brake system is a major positive and one of the major talking points of course. The system basically locks the 2 front wheels at the push of a button and most users reported the system to work just fine.

The zippers & handles are some of the best we’ve seen in terms of offerings by Delsey. The interiors have many pockets for organization and come with a red color finish on both models. The exterior is quite sturdy and despite the scratches being highly visible on the Champagne model it can really withstand a lot of abuse. This bodes well if you happen to opt for the larger variant. The wheels are really well made and the roll pretty quietly. The TSA locking mechanism is implemented well on this model too.

If you are wondering why we’ve gone with the Helium Aero over the Chatelet, in terms of carry on recommendations, well, the Chatelet is much heavier. The numerous features do come at the cost of weight and if you are a traveler who likes to skip the checked luggage and stick to the carry-on then this Delsey Paris luggage isn’t for you.

The Helium Titanium is available in almost as many colors as the Aero but the latter is a bit glossier and the Titanium with its matt finish is more moderate in terms of aesthetics. The handles, zippers, TSA locks are all very good and durable. The wheels roll really well. They both come with a 10 year limited warranty. Now coming to the first major difference and the deciding factor for many folks. this spinner The Aero comes in at 12.5 lbs and the Titanium at just 11.7. For the people for whom every little ounce matters this can be important.

The interiors are pretty good with a couple of compartments and plenty of packing space as well. The titanium also has zippered dividers on the inside. The matt finish or tone down exterior in terms of color also has its advantages. Since hardsides tend to accumulate scratches over time they are far less visible on this than the Aero. If you are thinking why the Aero is still above on the list, even after all these positives? Well, it’s just a matter of preference and we felt the Aero exuded more quality in terms of the finish. Functionally, however it’s definitely neck & neck.

First up, it’s compact & roomy at the same time. You can eliminate the need for things like toiletry bags if you have this with you. The bag comes with plenty of pockets & zips for staying organized. There’s also a side section with a plastic lining that can hold your toiletries and prevent any spillage from damaging the rest of the contents.

Its size can be a good thing or a bad thing based on what you are after. If you are looking for something to fit a laptop this model doesn’t come with a sleeve nor is it big enough for a 15.6 inch laptop. There’s a sleeve to hold tablets or even laptops

The sky Max 2 has the edge in that department. For others, who like something compact and can hold some shoes & clothes for a couple of days this Delsey is almost a no-brainer. The Polyester exterior and the inside lining are of very good quality as well. The bottle holder on the side can handle smaller water bottles better. The easy access pouch is very well compartmentalized & since it’s an under seater you can very easily take whatever you need during the course of the flight.

Launched in 2018 the hyperglide series by Delsey is aimed at frequent flyers and business travelers alike. Although the suitcase does do the job for frequent travelers, it is a let down for business travelers we felt. Let's take a closer look at why.

There's plenty of packing room and 2 external pockets for quick access items too. So if you are the type who wants to pack for 2-4 days then this carry on can get the job done and you don't have to resort to checking in a bag. The luggage is also expandable so it's important to ensure you don't go over the weight limit.

The biggest positive with the Hyperglide series is that the suitcases are very light. Its almost as light as Travelpro's Maxlite series. This is another feature that helps with the packing capacity. The spinner wheels on the hyperglide are also very well built & roll extremely well. You can use this Delsey as a 2 wheeler or a 4 wheeler with relative ease.

The not so good is more to do with the way the bag is designed. You need to ensure the weight is not distributed towards the front otherwise it can tip over easily considering how light it is structurally. The insides are quite simple with a mesh pocket at the top and another pouch to separate your items. The external handles feel sturdy which is good.

Available in 2 colors

If you are no stranger to living out of a suitcase like myself, then we might agree that having more flexibility in terms of weight is very important. It’s quite normal to buy a book or some souvenirs along the trip and this luggage can help you in all these situations. The Delsey Helium Sky has a fair few more positives than negatives.

There are plenty of pockets 3 on the outside and more than that on the inside so you can keep your stuff organized. The suitcase is expandable by a couple of inches and the build does look rather ordinary. The wheels roll well but were not the sturdiest around. Elements of this Delsey can look flimsy. Like the handle looks a tad thin for the overall size of the luggage but it does hold together well.

The main con was more to do with the fact that the wheels can break if subjected to rough treatment constantly. This is where we felt that having wheel pairs like the Montmartre comes in handy. Also the handle at the bottom despite being labeled as easy to grab we thought a more conventional design was better.

The garment bag, although compactly designed, is not meant as a carry-on, as its dimensions exceed airline requirements.

Don’t be fooled by its seemingly snug appearance - this garment bag is designed to carry a substantial amount in the best possible fashion. It utilizes a book opening design secured with a universal clamping system for hangers, tie-down straps and an extender panel to accommodate longer garments. Aside from that, the garment bag also features 4 interior pockets for smaller garments, as well as 2 separate pouches for shoes.

There is also 1 exterior pocket for easy-grab items like travel documents, tablets, phones, and similar valuables.

What people particularly love about the Hyperglide Spinner are its dual-density, silent-core double spinner wheels. The maneuverability of this luggage is certainly one of its top advantages, although users claim that the garment bag works better when it’s being pulled rather than pushed.  

The Spinner also features a rubberized non-slip grip on the trolley handle, allowing you to maneuver the luggage with ease.

First things first - this luggage is huge. If you require something compact and subtle, then you might want to size it down a bit with Delsey’s Chatelet Hard+ 21”. However, if you’re looking for something substantial, this luggage is just the thing. With 2 enormous compartments with tie-down straps, a zippered mesh divider, 2 interior bags, and a hanger, this case is the pure definition of the term family-sized.

Keep in mind that a suitcase of this capacity comes with one drawback - weight. So, unless you’re planning on packing lightly, get ready to work your muscles.

The maneuverability of the Chatelet Hard+ is another aspect worth mulling over. Silent-running, double-spinner wheels are there to glide you through your journey as smoothly and as quickly as possible. These wheels are so sleek that Delsey decided to install a unique brake system to prevent the luggage from drifting away on its own. How neat is that? 

On the side of the case, you'll find a TSA-approved lock, as well as a zip SECURITECH for maximum security. 

Worried about your luggage getting lost? The bag is secured with a tracking plate on the back of the luggage which allows you to track your luggage through a unique register! If something goes a-wire, Delsey offers a 10-year limited warranty, so you’re able to fix any potential issues you might encounter.
