Attention all Jeep lovers: Delsey Paris launched a new collection of Jeep luggage. From rolling duffle bags to backpacks, the luggage line is water-resistant, sustainable and designed for the outdoors.
The famous luggage brand isnt the first to partner with Jeep. Not long ago, Merrell and Jeep collaborated on a special-edition hiking boot. Jeeps signature elements, like the seven-slot grille and Willys star, are featured on the luggage. Even the suitcases interior lining features a printed topography map. The luggage lines bold hues are also a nod to the Jeep brand.
Because we like to get our hands on all things outdoors, we knew we had to snag some products from the new luggage line for ourselves. We secured multiple bags: a backpack and two luggage pieces, to be exact. Heres how the pieces arrived in person.
What is the Jeep Collection from Delsey Paris?
The Jeep Collection features hard-sided luggage in four core styles: carry-ons, standard spinners and trunks. Theyre designed to be bold and rugged with off-road, dual-density traction wheels, convenient handles and shock-absorbing corner protectors.
The line also has duffle bags and backpacks. The duffles are available in three rolling styles and various sizes. Each includes trail-tested wheels and water-repellent material. Six backpack styles feature comfortable designs, laptop sleeves, water bottle pockets and reflective straps.

Pros:
- Durable hard plastic shell
- Lightweight
- Easy-to-maneuver wheels
- Built-in lock
- Easy-glide telescopic handle
- Expandable
- Matte finish
- Multiple color options
Cons:
- Lightweight outer shell is thinner than expected and may not survive extreme roughness
We Put the Luggage to the Test
I used the hard-shell luggage pieces from the Delsey Paris x Jeep line on a road trip across multiple states. The large spinner trunk is huge and has enough space to hold everything youd typically need for a few weeks of travel. It weighs about 11 pounds and measures 14-1/2 by 16-1/4 by 31-1/2 inches. Its volume is approximately 121 liters. Meanwhile, the medium expandable spinner is less than nine pounds and measures 11-1/4 by 17-1/4 by 26-3/4 inches. Its volume is about 85 liters.
Both spinners checked the boxes for my luggage must-have features: easy-glide wheels and a telescopic handle, a durable outer shell, and top and side handles for easy grabbing. The large trunk spinner has a TSA-approved lock at the top for added security and two additional handles on the front.
Because the luggage is designed with Jeep durability, it seemed only right to use it for a road trip. So, I packed up and loaded up my Subaru (not a Jeep, unfortunately). The luggage stacked nicely in my trunk and held its shape despite other things being packed in on top. While unloading, I dropped the smaller suitcase, which remained free of dents and scratches.
I have yet to take the pieces through the TSA, but Im confident theyd hold up. The construction of the suitcases is not unlike that of Calpak luggage, which I own multiples of and have used for years on various trips and flights. Additionally, Delsey Paris offers two- and three-year limited worldwide warranties, depending on which products you purchase.
Both suitcases are expandable and have various interior pockets for organizing. They also have tie-down straps and a mesh divider to help hold contents in place during travel. I liked that I could zip away my shoes to keep them off of my clothes and that I could separate my clothes and toiletries on each side of the suitcase. When it came time to open the suitcases and unpack, the contents were neatly in place. The suitcases wheels are also designed with extra traction for rugged landscapes, and I had no problem hauling them across gravel and grass.
Our Favorite Delsey Paris x Jeep Products
If youre an over-packer looking for a large, easy-to-haul trunk, the large expandable spinner trunk is our top pick. Its available in four colors: chili pepper red, elm green, black and warm sand. The Jeep logo is at the top, and the famous Jeep grille design is at the center. All four colors are accented with bright orange wheels and telescopic handles. The ABS/PC shell protects against the elements.
The multi-purpose laptop backpack is a convenient size for an everyday bag. It comes in elm green, bright orange, peacoat navy and black. The top pocket has the Jeep logo, and the bottom pocket has a star, a nod to the brands military heritage. The durable recycled polyester makes transitioning from class to an outdoor adventure a breeze.
The medium expandable spinner offers plenty of space for weekend trips. It has an expandable zipper, tie-down straps, pockets and a mesh divider. It comes in classic colors like avocado green and beige, as well as peacoat navy and black. It doesnt have a built-in lock system, but it does have interlocking zippers suitable for a combination lock.
