Essential knowledge to help you make the right choice
Carry-on (up to 56cm) for short trips, medium (60-70cm) for week-long adventures, and large (75cm+) for extended travel. Check airline requirements before purchasing.
Hard shells offer better protection and are water-resistant. Soft shells are lighter, more flexible, and often have external pockets for easy access.
With strict airline weight limits, choose lightweight materials like polycarbonate or nylon. Every kilogram saved means more room for souvenirs!
4-spinner wheels offer 360° manoeuvrability on flat surfaces. 2-wheel designs are more durable for rough terrain and stairs.
Look for TSA-approved locks, especially for US travel. Combination locks are more convenient than key locks for frequent travellers.
Invest in quality for checked luggage that faces rough handling. Mid-range brands often offer the best balance of durability and price.
