An aluminum hardside carry-on suitcase sold by Quince, fitted with a TSA-compatible combination latch (TSA 16169).

Why it's buy-it-for-life
Cited as a cautionary example, not a BIFL pick: Reddit reports describe the top latch jamming and breaking on its very first trip, requiring it to be pried open, with Quince customer service refusing repair or replacement.

the top latch (TSA 16169) shown has button depressed but would not disengage... This left the top latch inoperable and the luggage unsecured.
a lot of their products are made poorly or go to shit soon after
I like a lot of Quince stuff, but it's basically the opposite of BIFL.
