Travel Bags

The choice between hard and soft luggage depends on your needs:

• Hard-shell luggage is durable, protective, and water-resistant, ideal for fragile items and security. However, it can be less flexible and more prone to scratches.
• Soft-shell luggage offers flexibility, expandability, and lighter weight, making it easier to store and pack extra items. It's less protective but often cheaper.

• For Fragile Items: Hard-shell bags provide better protection.
• For Flexibility: Soft-shell bags allow for more packing flexibility and are often lighter.
• For Durability: Hard-shell bags are generally more durable but may scratch.

The ideal size depends on the trip length and airline restrictions:

• Carry-on: 20-22 inches (50-55 cm) for short trips.
• Checked Luggage: 24-28 inches (60-70 cm) for longer trips.

Consider the following:

• Material: Hard-shell for durability, soft-shell for flexibility.
• Size: Ensure it fits airline restrictions.
• Features: Look for TSA locks, multiple compartments, and durable wheels.
• Weight: Lighter bags are easier to manage.
• Budget: Balance quality with cost.
