Product Information

Whether you're heading off on holiday soon, or need a new bag for your endless business trips or travel home, finding the right suitcase can seem like an arduous task. As you’d expect, it isn’t quite as sturdy as weightier cases, and you might wonder whether such a lightweight suitcase is durable enough to withstand all the wear and tear of travelling. But you needn’t worry too much, as it comes with a reassuring ten-year warranty. Two big considerations for most people when buying a suitcase are the weight of the luggage itself and the protection it offers.

Who says suitcases are boring? The suitcases in Bon Air range by renowned travel brand American Tourister is as stylish as it they are practical.

Lys Paris also creates hand luggage: One more reason why Lys Paris should be your next luggage brand? Lys Paris also produces beautiful cabin size luggage if you want to take it with you on the plane! Samsonite, a travel brand synonymous with quality, are suitcase royalty. Having been around for more than 100 years, they know a thing or two about suitcases. If you’re worried about your weight allowance – or just dislike humping heavy luggage around – this could be the suitcase for you, as it weighs just 2.4kg. At 74cm, you get a lot of room for all your belongings, and it also comes with one of the most comfortable and practical handles thanks to its full-width cushioned design, so you won’t mind pulling it around for any length of time. Combing award-winning style with the usual quality and performance you'd expect from an AT suitcase, this suitcase also has a unique expandable feature that is a rare sight on hard shelled suitcases. Available in no fewer than 14 vibrant shades, from Azalea Pink to Blue Topaz, there is a colour for every mood. But don't let its looks fool you; this suitcase is not only super stylish, but also super-strong and secure.

Hard-shell cases used to eat into your baggage weight allowance, but thanks to the development of lighter, durable materials that’s not so much of a problem now. Soft-sided suitcases, meanwhile, are stronger than ever – so it really comes down to personal preference. The deciding factor might be where you plan to keep your new suitcase when it’s not needed, as hard-shell cases are less versatile when it comes to storage. We then test how easy it is to manoeuvre the full case. We consider the handles and, if the handle is extendable, is the action smooth, or glitchy? Does the case have wheels? If so, how many? And we assess how easy and light it feels to steer. Made for the mountains, it's no wonder this duffel-cum-suitcase proved sturdy on test; it came through our drop, curb and stair tests almost entirely unscathed. We’d suggest keeping it sheltered from really heavy rain though – although its water-repellent front impressed, the zip and fabric at the top did let some liquid through. Contrary to popular belief, soft shell suitcases aren't always lighter. In fact, many are heavier than their hard shell counterparts. So how do you know what's worth the investment? And which ones are your best bets for a bargain case that will get through even the most stringent Ryanair baggage policies?It comes in 2 models: 'essential' and 'smart'. The essential model comes in at €295, but doesn't include the laundry bag, smart charger or laundry bag.

Wheels: Most suitcases are four-wheelers — sometimes referred to as spinner suitcases — that can be wheeled alongside you as well as pulled behind. Two-wheeled suitcases tend to have slightly bigger wheels and can be easier to pull up and over kerbs, but we generally prefer the versatility and balance of spinners.Buying a good suitcase is a long-term investment. You spend valuable money and rightly expect it to last for years to come. Unfortunately, not all suitcases stand the test of time. Some stain easily or break their wheels only a few years after using them, by which time your warranty is void. Antler is a reputed British brand that has been perfecting its craft for over a century now. All its suitcases are put through rigorous tests and come with a 10-year international warranty. This alone justifies its premium price tag. In comparison, other suitcases on this list only have a limited one- or two-year warranty.
