LEVEL8 Hardshell 3pc
PC+ABS hardside 3-piece set with double wheels · Reviewed by Katie · amazon.com live, Sept 28 2026
Why it scored a 76
At $386.99 the LEVEL8 Hardshell three-piece set is a direct-to-consumer trio styled like Away and Monos, and its rubberized double wheels, aluminum handle and TSA lock make a strong spec sheet. Warranty scores 100 on the limited lifetime term and Satisfaction sits at 84, but Value drags at 64 because it costs more than the Samsonite polycarbonate sets while using a PC+ABS blend, and Quality lands at 68. Only 341 reviews at 4.2 stars is a thin signal, and some mention wheels and zippers failing after a few trips and slow warranty responses through the brand. It suits buyers who catch one of LEVEL8's frequent deep discounts.

Should you buy the LEVEL8 Hardshell 3pc?
The LEVEL8 Hardshell 3pc is a direct-to-consumer trio, 20-, 24-, and 28-inch, with a spec sheet that reads well: eight double spinner wheels per bag, TSA locks, and a limited lifetime warranty. It ranks ninth of ten at $386.99. It is for someone who wants three matching bags with double wheels and a modern look. The catch is that reports of wheel and zipper failures, a PC+ABS blend shell, and no repair network keep it behind the Samsonite sets.
Where it earns its score
- Double wheels on every bag. Rubber-coated 360-degree spinners, eight per piece.
- Warranty scores 100. A limited lifetime warranty run by the brand.
- Expandable carry-on. About 16% more capacity when unzipped.
- Four-stop aluminum handle. More height options than most sets here.
What to know first
- PC+ABS, not full polycarbonate. Quality scores 68, below the Samsonite and Delsey sets that cost less.
- Durability reports. Wheel and zipper failures after a few trips show up in owner reviews, and Reliability scores 82, the second-lowest here.
- No repair network. Lifetime coverage is handled by the brand, not a service center system.
- Not water resistant. Listed as such, and the set weighs 29.3 lb.
Our verdict
The LEVEL8 Hardshell 3pc scores 76, Fair Buy, on a strong feature list and a weak track record. Buy it only if you need three bags with double wheels and cannot find the Delsey. The Delsey Helium Aero 2pc at $199.99 scores 83 with polycarbonate; the American Tourister Moonlight 3pc at $183.06 scores 82 with the Samsonite network.
