DELSEY Shadow DLX 55 cm Expandable Cabin Suitcase | SHONATI

Product Overview

The DELSEY PARIS Shadow DLX 55 cm Expandable Cabin Suitcase is a softside polyester carry-on for short holidays, weekend stays and business trips. It combines quick-access front pockets with a separate zip expansion, a reinforced main zip and four double spinner wheel assemblies. SHONATI offers this 55 cm cabin model in Black and Teal Blue.

The suitcase measures 55 × 35 × 20 cm with the expansion closed and 55 × 35 × 25 cm when expanded. It weighs 2.8 kg empty. DELSEY lists 30.23 L of interior packing volume in the standard configuration and 36.6 L with the expansion open.

Softside Polyester Construction

The exterior is made from polyester textile. The softside construction accommodates external front pockets, giving you a place for items you may need before reaching your destination. Keep folded clothes and other packed belongings in the main compartment, and use the front pockets for smaller items you want within reach.

Front Pockets for Quick Access

The front pockets can be accessed while the main compartment remains closed. They are useful for a printed itinerary, travel documents or small accessories you want to retrieve while waiting at the gate or checking into a hotel.

Zip Expansion for Additional Packing Space

Open the separate expansion zip to gain packing room for an extra layer of clothing or purchases made during the trip. The height and width remain 55 cm and 35 cm, while the published exterior depth changes from 20 cm to 25 cm.

The published interior packing volume rises from 30.23 L to 36.6 L when expanded. DELSEY also publishes separate exterior volume figures of 38.5 L and 48.13 L. Use the interior figures to compare packing space and the exterior dimensions to compare baggage fit.

SECURITECH® 2 Reinforced Main Zip

The main compartment closes with DELSEY’s SECURITECH® 2 system. It uses a reinforced double-row zip and one-piece moulded pulls. The expansion has its own zip, so you can change the depth without opening the main compartment.

Integrated TSA Combination Lock

The integrated TSA combination lock secures the main zip pulls. Follow the instructions supplied with the suitcase to set your personal combination. At checkpoints that use a compatible inspection system, authorised officers can open the lock with their inspection key when required.

Interior Organisation

Adjustable retaining straps help hold packed clothes in place as you move the case. The mesh compartment gives smaller items a separate space and lets you see what is inside when you open the suitcase.

• Adjustable retaining straps for securing folded clothing.
• Mesh compartment for separating smaller travel items.
• Transparent liquids pouch listed by DELSEY as an included accessory.

Check the liquids screening rules for your departure and transfer airports when packing toiletries in cabin baggage.

Four Dual-Density Double Spinner Wheels

Four dual-density double spinner wheel assemblies let you roll the case upright and change direction as you move through terminal corridors, queues and hotel lobbies. Each assembly has two wheels.

Black and Teal Blue Colour Options

Choose Black for a neutral finish or Teal Blue for a blue-green finish. Both colours share the same published exterior dimensions, empty weight and softside polyester construction.

• Black — DELSEY reference 00249780000.
• Teal Blue — DELSEY reference 00249780022.

Cabin Baggage Fit

Compare the packed suitcase with the cabin baggage allowance for your airline, route and fare. Measure the overall height, width and depth at the widest points, including the wheels, handles and any protruding front pockets. Weigh the case after packing.

If your booking allows a maximum depth of 20 cm, keep the expansion closed and measure the packed case before travelling. If you use the expansion, compare the published 25 cm depth with the allowance for your booking.
