How Luggage Reviews Help You Find the Best Suitcases

luggage reviews

Luggage reviews help you find the best suitcases for your travel needs. The key features to consider include how heavy or light the bag is when empty, how much it can fit and whether that capacity is comfortable for a trip. The quality of the interior, including useful pockets and compartments, is another important consideration. You’ll want to look for durable materials, like polyester, nylon and vinyl. You’ll also want to consider a suitcase’s handle, which can make a difference in how easy it is to maneuver the luggage around town and on a plane or train. Finally, you’ll want to think about the bag’s overall appearance and whether it is the right size for your next trip.

A popular pick, this Tumi carry-on looks and feels indestructible. It’s a good choice for those who appreciate how crush-resistant hardside suitcases protect their belongings, as well as for those who like the sleek and modern look of this brand. It’s also a great option for those who prefer to pack light because the soft-sided design allows you to see everything easily.

This redesigned Away bag has a spacious and smartly designed interior, earning it high marks in our storage tests. It’s also a very affordable choice. However, the zippers can stick a bit and it has a tendency to rotate outward on a vertical axis when hauling uphill (not ideal). Still, our test team found this luggage to be an excellent value.
