Suitcases
Suitcases are available in different sizes and materials, with durability, practicality and safety being the most important features. Hard suitcases, often made of polycarbonate or ABS plastic, offer protection for delicate items and are ideal for air travel. Soft bags, often made of nylon or polyester, are flexible and lighter, making them a good choice for short trips or car travel.
Carry-on bags, or hand luggage, are designed to meet airline size and weight restrictions. It is important to check that they are the right size and that they make efficient use of interior space, such as pockets and dividers.
Key features include:
- Wheels: 360-degree wheels make the bag easy to manoeuvre, while bags with two wheels are suitable for uneven surfaces.
- Handles and pull handle: adjustable and sturdy telescopic handle for improved comfort of use.
- Weight: The lightweight bag allows for greater packing capacity without extra weight.
The most popular bags are medium, hard bags that combine durability and lightness. If you travel a lot, a good quality bag is the best investment. Choose the right size and check airline rules in advance to ensure a smooth trip.
