Features of large suitcases

When going on a trip, everyone begins to think about what things should be taken with them, how many and where to put them. Having decided on the first two points, the question arises about choosing a suitcase, which should not only be roomy, but also of good quality. Your best bet is to choose factory-made items that have passed quality checks and are factory-guaranteed. The price of a suitcase can be low - the main thing is that it is made of the highest quality materials. Such a travel bag will become your travel companion or business trip.

The modern market is full of various models of suitcases, differing in size, materials from which they were made, as well as design features. For long trips, you will need a large suitcase, which can easily fit all the necessary things.

So why is a large suitcase better than other models of travel bags:

• has a rigid frame that perfectly retains its shape;
• the presence of wheels makes it easier to move luggage;
• a convenient retractable handle provides comfort when moving;
• roomy, has a large number of functional departments;
• a variety of materials from which it can be made (plastic, fabric, leather) - they have a number of individual characteristic features;
• withstands heavy baggage weight;
• aesthetic appearance;
• variety of dimensions;
• durable to use.

The only drawbacks can be the price of the product (depending on the material from which it is made), as well as the weight, depending on the material of the frame, wheels and outer skin. Poor quality casters can crack and wear out and are expensive to replace.

All suitcases are divided according to several criteria. For example, depending on the size, the products are divided into 4 types.

• Small (S). Products up to 60 cm in height, capacity - 20-50 liters. Lightweight model, suitable for short-term travel. Almost all airports are allowed not to check in this type of suitcase in luggage, it goes as carry-on luggage.

• Medium (M). The height of the model can be from 60 to 70 cm, the capacity is 50-90 liters. Used to transport one person's belongings.

• Large (L). Suitcase from 70 cm in height, with a capacity of 90-120 liters. This model can accommodate 1-2 people. Suitable for long journeys.

• Extra Large (XL). The family model, which can be up to 80 cm high and above, and has a capacity of 120 to 180 liters. This suitcase holds a large number of things, suitable for both moving and family trips for a long time.

Suitcase dimensions may vary depending on the manufacturer.

Depending on the number of wheels, large suitcases are:

• 2-wheeled (trolley suitcase);
• 4-wheeled (spinner suitcase).

The variety of travel suitcase designs is simply amazing. The catalog of goods from trusted suitcase manufacturers (Alliance, American Tourister, Dakine, Dielle, Stelz, Akubens, Polar and others) includes a wide range of colors of models (black, blue, red, pink, green). Among the assortment of designs of large suitcases, there are both plain fabric models and plastic ones with bright and interesting prints.

A properly selected suitcase is the guarantee of your comfort during the trip. Each person expects that the newly acquired travel bag will be able to withstand any travel conditions and will serve it for more than one year.

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with several recommendations that you need to rely on when buying a product.

• The size. First, you need to decide for which trips you will use it. If you need a model for short business trips, definitely choose the size S products. If you intend to take it with you on trips, proceed from the number of things that will need to be placed there.

• Two- or four-wheeled. It all depends on the personal preferences of everyone. The classic version is the trolley suitcase (2-wheeled), which is lighter and more stable. The spinner suitcase (4-wheel) is a comfortable model that is easy to control thanks to the rotating wheels, allowing anyone to cope with even heavy luggage. You should be aware that repairing the wheels in case of their breakage in a spinner suitcase will cost much more than a 2-wheel version.

• Material. Plastic models have a solid frame that keeps their shape perfectly, however, such products do not provide for the presence of external pockets, which are very convenient for folding small things. Also, suitcases made of poor quality plastic can crack. Fabric options with a solid frame are more wear-resistant, water-repellent and do not lose their color. They have many functional pockets. However, in bad weather conditions they quickly get dirty. A suitcase made of genuine leather is considered to be of the highest quality, but not everyone can afford its price.

• Built-in lock. This will keep your belongings safe. If such a lock is not provided, you can buy a small padlock that fits over the holes of the dogs with a zipper.

• Internal organization. The more compartments and pockets are located inside the suitcase, the more convenient it will be to place your things in them. Functional models suggest the presence of a large number of both external and internal pockets.The compartments for clothes must be locked, the main compartment must be equipped with straps for tightening things.

• Wheel material. The most wear-resistant are rubber. Plastic or silicone casters can burst over time. The wheels should be lower than the frame of the suitcase so that it does not drag along the ground.
