Rating of the lightest suitcases on wheels for 2022

Modern lightweight suitcases have greatly simplified the process of flying and moving on business trips and travels. Unlike their predecessors, they have increased lightness, ergonomic design and ease of use. In the article, we will consider recommendations on how to choose the best suitcase for price and performance, which models are the most reliable, and what you should pay attention to before buying.

Description

All companies have rules for the carriage of luggage, which limit the size of the suitcase, the weight of things. By dimensions, suitcases can be divided into 4 types:

• hand luggage - up to 45 liters;
• a small suitcase for one, up to 90 liters;
• family suitcase - up to 128 liters;
• capacious suitcase - from 180 liters.

Types depending on the material of manufacture:

• textile;
• plastic.

Textiles are made of durable dense fabric, most often they use nylon and polyester. Polyester is the most budgetary, it is easy to clean, resistant to wear, and can be made in various colors and shades. Nylon in its pure form is used extremely rarely, in most cases it is mixed with synthetic fiber. It is durable, scratch and temperature resistant. Of the minuses, one can note a small color gamut and poor electrical insulation.

Plastic can be made from different materials, such as polycarbonate, ABC plastic, polypropylene. These are light enough, but at the same time durable materials that can withstand heavy loads.

Operation and care

For durability of use, it is not necessary to exceed the established weight that the product can withstand.For long-term storage, it is better to use a special cover, avoid direct sunlight, clean it from dirt and dust in a timely manner, without using aggressive cleaning agents. Do not dry near radiators, heaters and open flames. For care and use, follow the instructions included in the packaging upon purchase.

Criterias of choice

Tips on what to look for when buying:

1. Manufacturing materials. When choosing, you should pay attention to the material from which the model is made. Plastic ones are more durable and resistant to mechanical stress, textile ones are more practical to use. For long flights, it is recommended to opt for plastic, and for short trips, a model made of nylon or polyester is perfect.
2. Accessories. Accessories should be of high quality, with thoughtful details. It is better to choose swivel wheels, with the ability to turn 360 degrees, then it will be convenient and easy to move luggage. Velcro and zippers must be of high quality, work without creases. It is better if the zipper is rubberized, then water will not get inside. Try to choose a model with 3 handles, retractable for moving, on the side for horizontal wear, on top for carrying. Choose a model with a lock. Locks can be of 3 options: combination, padlock, TSA. Code codes are considered the most reliable (for them you need to select a combination of numbers), TSA are opened with a small key. Mounted options are extremely rare, they are inconvenient because it can be opened with any improvised items.
3. The best manufacturers. Goods of this type are recommended to be purchased from reliable, trusted companies that have proven themselves in the market.You can view reviews on official websites and marketplaces, although they will not give a 100% guarantee either. When buying, carefully inspect the suitcase, it should not have cracks, scratches, all seams should be neatly stitched. The hardware must be all working. Among the best manufacturers it is worth noting: Cossroll, Alezar, L`case, Union, FREEDOM, MIRONPAN, Impreza.
4. Where could I buy. You can buy in specialized departments, order through the marketplace or from China. When buying, consider the dimensions of the product, its weight and operating conditions. Carefully compare the delivered product with the one declared on the site if you place an order via the Internet.
