Overview

Simple, and subtle, this Kenneth Cole Reaction Out of Bounds 28" suitcase is definitely a good looking piece of luggage. It's inconspicuous enough, but closer inspection reveals just how well thought out it actually is. One of its best features is its incredible durability and resistance to scratches and other forms of damage that may occur during airport handling.

Exterior Design

There is nothing shocking about the exterior design of this suitcase. It's a classic boxy hard-body piece of luggage, and this simplicity is what makes it so appealing. The color schemes you can choose from are limited, and the Out of bounds' texture means that no scratches will easily show on it. The zipper used to close the suitcase is of questionable quality and is the main downside of this model. It appears to be poorly made, and is known to fail rather often. The four wheels installed at the bottom seem to be smooth and durable enough for frequent use.

The body of Out of Bounds is made from ABS, and reinforced with molded corner guards. Because of this it's probably one of the most durable suitcases in its market segment. The handle is rather average but well made, and is activated by a single button.

Interior design

The interior of Kenneth Cole Reaction Out of Bounds sports a familiar layout. You have one half of the suitcase that houses a compartment equipped with elastic straps, while the other half is separated by a nylon membrane. There is a zipper operated pocket on the bottom of each half, and an accessory pocket in the main storage compartment.

Specifications:

  • Dimensions: 11.2" x 28" x 17.6"
  • Made of 95% ABS
  • Attractive yet subtle design
  • Corner reinforcements

Conclusion

Out of Bounds is a very stylish and attractive piece of luggage. It is simple and functional, while the price makes it a great value. However the quality of the zippers used in this suitcase is sub par, which is why there is a slight chance of them failing. While this doesn't happen often, it's something to keep in mind if you are interested in purchasing this suitcase.
