Choosing a new suitcase can be a challenge. Your luggage should not only reliably protect its contents but also meet airline baggage allowances and be easy to transport. A hardshell suitcase is the preferred choice for many travellers, as it offers stability and protection for what's inside.
This article serves as a guide. It introduces various models and explains the key features to consider, helping you make an informed decision for your next trip.
The right suitcase depends on your individual travel needs. Three key aspects help narrow down the options: material, size, and functional features.
Most hardshell suitcases are made from plastics like polycarbonate, polypropylene, or ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). ABS is a widely used material known for its high strength and impact resistance, all while being lightweight. A lightweight suitcase made of ABS provides solid protection for its contents without quickly exceeding the maximum weight allowance. The rigid outer shell protects fragile items more effectively than soft-sided luggage.
The right suitcase size depends on the length of your trip and the airline's regulations.
Modern suitcases offer features that enhance travel comfort and security.
Based on the criteria mentioned, we have compiled a selection of models that cater to different travel needs.
This three-piece luggage set offers a flexible solution for various trip lengths. The L and XL sizes feature an expandable gusset for extra volume, while the carry-on piece (size M) is equipped with a practical, fold-out cup holder. Reinforced protective corners enhance durability.
This set is ideal for families or travellers who need a suitable luggage solution for various occasions—from a weekend trip to a multi-week journey.
This carry-on set combines a compact hardshell trolley with an additional bag whose dimensions (40 x 20 x 25 cm) meet Ryanair's requirements for under-seat baggage. The bag can be easily attached to the suitcase's telescopic handle thanks to a rear trolley sleeve.
Perfect for business travellers and weekenders who frequently fly with budget airlines and want to maximise their carry-on allowance.

Compared to soft-sided luggage, a hardshell suitcase offers better protection for fragile items. The rigid outer shell is also water-resistant and easy to clean.
A TSA lock is a special lock that can be opened by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) with a master key. This allows for security checks without the lock having to be broken, which is particularly advantageous when travelling to the USA.
A suitcase with 4 wheels (spinner) can be pushed upright alongside you and rotated 360 degrees, making it highly manoeuvrable in tight spaces. A 2-wheeled suitcase (upright) must be tilted and pulled, which can be more stable on uneven surfaces like cobblestones. The choice depends on personal preference and typical travel environments.
