Best Suitcase On Wheels

Tell me honestly, what would you first pay attention to when choosing a Best suitcase on wheels ? On the outside? For size? The number of compartments and pockets?

Do not rush, because based on these criteria, you can easily make a mistake with the choice and buy a completely impractical and inconvenient thing that will gather dust somewhere on the mezzanine for years.

How to choose a good quality trolley suitcase? We believe that the most important characteristics are:

·      choice of material;

·      dimensions and weight;

·      type and number of wheels;

·      choice of type and number of handles;

Next, we will dwell on each item in more detail and help you choose a suitcase that will become your faithful companion during unforgettable travel and business trips.

Dimensions and weight

At this stage, your task is to abandon the stereotype “the more, the more spacious”. It should be understood that two suitcases of the same size may not have the same volume. We are interested in the volume, because the quantity of things you can pack in a suitcase for travel depends on this parameter.

How to choose suitcase size?

For short 1-2 day trips and business trips, compact models with a volume of 25-30 liters or comfortable case pilots are optimal. Such suitcases are even allowed to be carried in the aircraft cabin.

If the whole family is going on a trip, then it makes sense to purchase a large suitcase on wheels with a volume of 100 liters or several medium ones.

As for weight, everything is simple: the lighter the suitcase, the better, because now almost all major air carriers have their own restrictive requirements regarding the weight of baggage. The less the suitcase itself weighs, the more necessary things you can put without overpaying for it.

Choosing a suitcase by type and number of wheels

On sale you can find suitcases on two and four wheels. Which option is better? This largely depends on the conditions in which the product will be used.

To move on a flat surface (in an airport or train station building, on a good paved road, etc.), feel free to choose a Best suitcase on wheels : such models are very convenient and can withstand heavy loads. Even if two wheels break, you can still carry a suitcase with the other two.

At the same time, two-wheeled suitcases are more stable - if you have to carry your luggage on sand, earth, go down into underground passages, it is better to choose this option. But there are some pitfalls here: while driving, up to 30% of the weight will be transferred to your hand, as a result of which you can feel heaviness and get tired of a travel suitcase on wheels.

Separately, it is worth talking about the material from which the wheels are made. All wheels are made of polyurethane material.

Such wheels are considered the best option, since they, unlike plastic ones, do not wear off or rattle.

And the most silent wheels are considered to be bearings - they, among other things, are able to rotate as much as 360 °!

 

Type and number of handles

There are two types of telescopic handles: a cane handle and a double handle. The cane handle has its advantages - it takes up a minimum of space inside the suitcase, due to which clothes wrinkle much less. The double handle, in turn, is much more functional - on it you can freely fasten a bag or beauty case, thereby freeing your hands. Regardless of the type, it is important that the telescopic handle mechanism is equipped with a production backlash - only in this case the structure will not deform during the use of a travel suitcase on wheels. 

Design and internal organization

The internal organization of space is perhaps the most important factor to be guided by when choosing. After all, it depends on how compact and rational you can decompose things.

Multiple compartments and pockets are always a plus. You can see this in the example of the spacious 4-wheeled suitcase from the Samsonite Winfield 2 collection .

Instead of fiddling with numerous bags, and then frantically stirring them up in search of the right thing, you will immediately determine what should be in which compartment.

In addition, you will know that your luggage is absolutely safe - even if the suitcase is opened, not a single trifle will fall out or be lost.

And the durable fabric will protect your clothes from dust and dirt - remember how unpleasant it is to come on vacation to see a stain on your favorite shirt from the juice that you took with you on the road!

Some models allow you to change the interior space at your discretion.

For example, the original Winfield 2 suitcase comes with dividing curtains, fabric restraints and additional pockets. If necessary, you can fix them inside the suitcase or remove them.

In both large and miniature suitcases, crisscross straps are almost always present. They fix the luggage and allow you to transport even fragile items without damaging them.

As for the design, it is very cool if your suitcase stands out due to its bright color, interesting print or unusual shape - this will save you time searching for your luggage on the conveyor belt. Yes, and such models look unusually stylish, bright and positive! And aren't we expecting such emotions when going on vacation?

How to choose a protection system?

TSA system is the most modern suitcase protection. Knowing the code, only you and the employees of the Department of Transportation Security, who have special universal keys, can unlock the lock.

It is impossible to purchase such a key - their number is strictly controlled by state bodies. However, if your baggage is suspicious, the lock cannot be cut off or broken - you can be sure that your belongings will not be damaged.

Samsonite suitcases are equipped with Multi-Pocket TSA Locks to close all compartments. Another option is a zip-free three-lock locking system, which eliminates any risk of accidental opening.
