Prolonged weekend or long holidays, color or sobriety, rigid or flexible material … Not easy to choose your suitcase. Discover some tips.
How to choose your baggage according to your trip?
For a week of summer vacation in the sun, we recommend a 63-65 cm luggage, which provides comfort and maneuverability. As part of a family holidays, a large suitcase (type 80 cm), with 4 multi -directional casters, will be very practical. For a 48 -hour business trip, we favor cabin baggage, equipped with wheels even if it is small. The tired traveler will appreciate. Finally, the travel bag, resolutely younger and sportswear, will suit all those who travel relaxed.
What details should you be careful when you want to buy a quality suitcase?
The handles are paramount because they will bear the whole weight of the baggage. Make sure the quality of fixing and comfort of use. The shoulder straps will preferably be removable and equipped with a comfortable shoulder leg. The wheeled system, linked to the size of the luggage, is also important. The “Spinners” models with 4 multi-directional casters offer incomparable rolling comfort. Also practical, many luggage on wheels are equipped with a retractable hook to hang additional luggage and keep a free hand. On the security side, closing systems with combination doubled with a key lock offer good protection. Finally, you also have to think about looking at the seam finish. The fact that they are clear, straight and non -effiled is a guarantee of quality.
Flexible or rigid: what material favor?
Previously, the choice between rigid and flexible was made on two criteria: weight and resistance. But today, rigid materials like polycarbonate are both resistant and extremely light. For a plane trip, we will favor rigid baggage, more resistant to shocks and humidity, but also more secure.
What are the latest trends and new features?
The design and colors have become criteria of choice. We see developing for example Pliabls or storable wheels suitcases in a cover, intended for city dwellers who do not have much room.
On the color side, bronze, silver, brown in rigid formats are on the rise.
