Available at SHONATI in Black, Blue, and Purple, this model features 55 × 36.5 × 24/26.5 cm dimensions, 2.49kg weight, durable 420 denier polyester construction, expandable packing space, a TSA combination lock, Zip Secure closure, four silent multidirectional double wheels, organised interior storage, and a Limited 3-Year Warranty.

About This Suitcase

The Delsey Optimax Lite 55cm is designed for travellers who prefer the flexibility and practical organisation of softside luggage while keeping the overall suitcase weight manageable.

This model is available at SHONATI in three selected colours: Black, Blue, and Purple. Black offers a classic and versatile appearance, Blue provides a distinctive travel look, while Purple gives the suitcase a brighter finish that can be easier to recognise during a journey.

The suitcase measures approximately 55 × 36.5 × 24 cm when closed and 55 × 36.5 × 26.5 cm when expanded. Its approximate weight is 2.49kg.

The exterior is made from 420 denier polyester. This gives the Optimax Lite a flexible softside structure while supporting its lightweight and practical design.

An integrated expander increases the suitcase depth from approximately 24 cm to 26.5 cm. This provides extra packing space for additional clothing, travel accessories, or items purchased during a journey.

For security, the suitcase includes an integrated TSA combination lock. Travellers can secure their belongings with a personal code while authorised airport security personnel can inspect the luggage where applicable without damaging the lock.

The official product page also lists Zip Secure as a feature. This model should not be described as having SECURITECH® or SECURITECH® 2 because those specific closure systems are not stated for the Optimax Lite 55cm.

The suitcase includes one external zippered pocket for travel accessories and belongings that may need to remain more easily accessible.

Inside, the Optimax Lite includes a water-resistant pocket, an elastic pocket, and a zippered mesh pocket. The water-resistant description applies only to the identified pocket and not to the complete suitcase.

Fastening straps and tie-down straps help hold clothing and packed belongings in place. Dedicated shoe pockets provide separate storage for footwear, while the interior compartments and pockets help organise smaller travel items.

The suitcase includes interior reinforcements and comfortable non-slip carrying areas. Ultra-comfort top and side handles provide different lifting positions when placing the suitcase into a vehicle, overhead storage area, or luggage rack.

Corner protection and a protective PVC section between the wheels help protect areas that may receive more contact during handling and transport.

A two-stop trolley system allows the telescopic handle to be adjusted to two positions for more comfortable movement.

The Optimax Lite is equipped with four silent multidirectional double wheels, providing eight individual wheel contact points. The double-wheel system is designed to improve rotation, stability, manoeuvrability, and rolling comfort.

Cabin baggage allowances vary by airline, route, aircraft, destination, and ticket type. The closed depth is approximately 24 cm and the expanded depth is approximately 26.5 cm. Customers should compare all three dimensions with the latest cabin baggage allowance before travelling.
