Buyer Guide Suitcases

The luggage and suitcase industry is one that is undergoing tremendous change thanks to new technology and trends.

• Size: The size you need to carry will depend on the number of people you are traveling with.
• Weight: The weight you need to carry will vary based on where you will be traveling.
• Capacity: This will vary depending on the items you need to carry.
• Airline Restrictions: If you will be carrying your suitcases on an airplane, you should do your research so you can be sure they are permissible.
• Compatibility: Most suitcases are easy to roll, but not all of them will work with all cars, so be sure you buy a suitcase that works well with your car.

How to choose Suitcases

Choosing a suitcase for your travel needs can be an overwhelming task. To make it easier, we’ve broken down the different types of luggage, and the pros and cons of each.

Soft-sided vs. hard-sided
Soft-sided luggage, also known as duffels or duffel bags, are lightweight, flexible bags that are made of nylon or other synthetic fabrics. Duffel bags range in size from carry-on to extra-large, and they can be packed with more clothing than a traditional suitcase.

Hard-sided luggage, aka suitcases, typically has rigid exteriors made from polycarbonate plastic or aluminum. Suitcases are stronger and more durable than duffel bags, and usually have more interior space and pockets. However, hard-sided luggage doesn’t conform as easily to the shape of overhead bins or compartments on trains and planes.

Wheeled vs. non-wheeled
Wheeled luggage, also called hard-side luggage, is a popular choice for travelers. Wheeled suitcases typically have four plastic or metal wheels that allow them to be easily pulled along.

Non-wheeled suitcases, also known as soft-side luggage, are a popular choice for budget travelers. Non-wheeled luggage tends to be made of lightweight materials like nylon, making them less expensive and easier to pack.

Backpacks vs. bags
Backpacks, which come in a duffle bag or suitcase style, are a popular option for travelers who plan on carrying their luggage. Backpacks are comfortable to carry, and they distribute weight evenly across the body.

Bags, like duffels, are popular for travel, but they can also be useful for everyday errands. Duffels typically come in wheeled or non-wheeled versions, which is a great way to ensure you can easily transport your clothing.

How to maintenance Suitcases

When doing maintenance, you should first determine the nature of the suitcase. There are two main types of luggage: hard-sided and soft-sided. Hard-sided luggage, such as polycarbonate suitcases, is more durable and can handle more abuse than soft-sided luggage. Soft-sided luggage, such as nylon suitcases, is usually less expensive and much easier to carry. However, it is less durable than hard-sided luggage.

You should then decide how to clean your luggage. Most suitcases are made from either leather or nylon. Leather suitcases should be cleaned and conditioned regularly with a leather cleaner and conditioner. Nylon luggage should be cleaned with a damp cloth.
