Made from durable ABS, the Kenneth Cole Reaction Out of Bounds 28-Inch Suitcase has molded corner reinforcements to help it withstand the impacts of international travel. It measures a roomy 29.5” x 20.5” x 11.8”. Despite its size, the suitcase remains easy to maneuver thanks to four 360º spinner wheels. The retractable handle system locks into place, giving you superb control over speed and direction. Use the flexible top and side handles to lift the case onto the scale at check-in, or to load it into the back of your car.

The suitcase can also stand upright on its side-mounted plastic feet. Inside, it is fully lined and well organized. Keep your best shirts and suits separate from the rest of your packing in the zippered lid compartment, then stash your electronics in the zippered side pocket.
