We found some definite improvements on the soft sided Silhouette 7 over last years line that separates it from the non traditional Samsonite Products found at non traditional Samsonite dealers such as J C Penney's, Sears, Mervyns, Outlet Malls, etc. Now using a more durable 1680 ballistic nylon and adding the expandable feature on the upright suiters, Samsonite Silhouette 7 is better than ever. Plus, the whole line looks great with the new Steel Blue color and sleek looking wheels and upright handles.
