How to choose a suitcase for a trip

What is important to pay attention to:

▪️ Size: classification by size S (height up to 55 cm and volume up to 50 l), M (55-68 cm, up to 75 l), L (68-71 cm, up to 100 l), XL (from 71 cm, from 100 l)

▪️Weight: now there are many lightweight suitcases weighing from 2.5 kg.

▪️ Wheels: there are two-wheeled and four-wheeled. With the first, it is convenient to move on uneven roads, four wheels increase the maneuverability of the suitcase and reduce the load on the person.

▪️Handles: you should choose a suitcase with three handles. The two on top are telescopic for transportation and fixed for carrying luggage. Plus one fixed on the side.

▪️Expandability: suitcases with a soft body, equipped with an expandable panel, this is +20% space.

▪️ Lock : code and padlocks.

TSA (Travel Sentry Approved) code locks. They have a hole for a special key for customs officials.

Spring models look reliable, but in terms of protection they are inferior to code ones.

▪️ Durability : Must be strong enough to withstand luggage loading. Hard-walled suitcases have a hard outer surface, which is most often made of polypropylene, polycarbonate, ABS plastic, or aluminum. It is airtight, easy to care for,

Suitcases with soft walls are made of polyester, nylon. They tend to have flared sides and are lighter but less waterproof and more difficult to maintain.

▪️ Color : classic black or gray suitcases seem practical, but it will be difficult to recognize them among a dozen of the same ones on the tape.

You will see a bright suitcase right away - this is its significant advantage.
