Criteria for choosing the best suitcase

Material. The main materials from which make good suitcases, are cloth and plastic of various kinds. If you prefer fabric models, it is better to choose a suitcase with a rigid internal basis. It is good if the fabric is impregnated with substances that protect against moisture and ultraviolet (so that the fabric does not fade). From plastic models should give preference to suitcases made of polypropylene and polycarbonate. They respond well to shocks and heavy weight, which is confirmed by numerous crash tests.

Pens. A good suitcase should be equipped with three handles - retractable and two sewn for carrying a travel bag. The retractable handle should be well secured inside the suitcase, it is better if it is without a button, in this case the probability of its failure is less. Some suitcases are equipped with an additional handle-stand for a handbag.

The wheels. It is believed that the model with four wheels is more convenient and more maneuverable. This suitcase is better suited for airports, where the floor is flat. If you often have to walk with a suitcase on the roads of poor quality or on the pavement, you should give preference to two-wheeled models. Wheels should be rubber and half recessed.

Which suitcase is better to buy: plastic or cloth?

When deciding what material it is better to buy a suitcase for, first of all, it is worth determining how you will most often mix up - by train or by plane? For the train it is better to pick up light cloth suitcases With a comfortable and durable handle. There is no need for excessive protection from shock and damage.

With the development of the popularity of air travel, suitcases have become more durable and wear-resistant. Now all travel bags are subjected to crash tests, which should reveal the most reliable material. For air travel is better to buy a suitcase made of polycarbonate or polypropylene. This is a plastic that can withstand heavy loads and road tests.
