As befits its large size, the suitcase is also strong, with a 100 percent polycarbonate shell that flexes on impact—and survived our tests without a single dent. Travelpro’s patented PrecisionGlide System takes the strain off your arm and shoulder, using eight self-aligning spinner wheels and a sturdy four-stop handle to deliver flawless maneuverability. We were incredibly impressed with how well it handled, rolling like a dream over bumps, smoothly over carpet, and even handling gravel. Travelpro was the inventor of the wheeled, carry-on case, and they have only grown more innovative since then, all to make travel the best experience possible. This one is my favourite of the two designs. IT Luggage have removed the ridges, replacing them with curved areas which stand out from the main case. This gives a tough, rugged overall look – though in a calmer way than with the ANNAMITE version.

Delsey started in France in 1946 and they originally sold leather camera cases. It was almost twenty-five years later that they delved into the world of luggage with their first hardshell case. These cases are built to last a lifetime. With a molded plastic shell, water- and air-tight gaskets to protect your belongings, and a barometric relief valve to regulate the internal pressure, these bags will protect against impacts, water, dust, dirt, cabin pressure, piercing, over-zealous baggage handlers, and more. With options in hard and softshell, you can customize to your needs, and the internal fold-out suiters help to keep your clothes organized and wrinkle-free. The quality and robustness of the luggage were excellent, but it may have been the touch of Parisian style that appealed to their now-loyal customer base. The one thing that stands out about all of the bags in the Briggs & Riley range is that they are amazingly stylish.We found the suitcase roomy and liked how it maintained its size and shape even when stuffed to capacity. The compression feature was another bonus: keeping clothes neatly in place—as was the full-zip interior divider, which allowed us to keep clean and dirty items. If you need extra space, there’s a handy expansion feature. Finally, we found that the multi-directional wheels allowed for smooth maneuverability over a range of terrains. We could easily pull the suitcase behind us or push it in front. Travelpro is a company that was in 1987 established by a Boeing 747 pilot. With extensive travel knowledge, the company set out to create the perfect bag for every traveler. From the design to the manufacturing, these luggage pieces are made to exacting standards meant to furnish you with the best luggage on the market. Their pieces all share a gorgeous minimalist aesthetic that still manages to stand out in a crowd.

The suitcases are designed to be the maximum allowed, both in size and weight, and each suitcase is tested well above the maximum allowed weight. Their journey is as eventful as yours is sure to be when you travel with Samsonite luggage. They have weathered the Great Depression, two World Wars, and lots more. They came out stronger on the other side. Pelican is one of the leaders when it comes to high-performance luggage. Their products are not only durable, but they also come with temperature control, lighting systems, extra protection, and a variety of options too. The colors range from muted to bold, and there are a host of handy features and innovations, including the Outsider handle (giving more room inside the luggage) and the CX Expansion Compression system (increasing your interior luggage space by up to 33%). They are the kind of bags that you will find in the military, and that is the perfect choice if you know that your bag is going to be subjected to harsh climates and severe environments.

Detailed Review of the BRITBAG Suitcases: Sizes and Colour Options

With a durable yet lightweight ABS shell, the Kenneth Cole Reaction Out of Bounds 28-inch spinner makes the most of your hold luggage weight allowance. It’s also easy on your wallet, coming in cheaper than many carry-ons on this list. It has molded corner guards for increased impact resistance, which we proved with extensive drop and bat tests (from which it emerged with only a few superficial scuffs). The fully lined interior looks compact from the outside but is amazingly roomy. BRITBAG suitcases are completely different. They instantly bring thoughts of flight cases for musical instruments, with ridges, sharp angles, and a rough, rugged look. We continue to love the capacity of this suitcase but have had issues with the middle level of the telescoping handle staying in place. A few months into testing and our testers call this suitcase lightweight, roomy, durable, and waterproof. “This will probably be the last carry-on I ever need,” a tester said.
