The Delsey Chatelet Air 2.0 is, without a doubt, the flagship of the Delsey line, and my testing confirmed it’s worthy of the title. From the moment I unboxed it, the quality was apparent. The 100% polycarbonate shell feels robust, and the faux-leather accents and reinforced corners give it a timeless, vintage look that stands out at the baggage claim.
During my maneuverability tests, the dual-density spinner wheels were exceptionally smooth and quiet, gliding effortlessly across polished airport floors and transitioning to carpet without a snag. The telescoping handle has three height settings and felt sturdy with minimal wobble.
Inside, the organization is superb. The 50/50 clamshell opening reveals two fully zippered compartments, which I love for keeping everything secure. It also comes with included laundry and shoe bags, a small touch that makes a big difference in staying organized on the road. With a build quality score of 8.7, this bag is built to last, making it my top pick for the frequent traveler who values both style and substance.
