A 40 x 55 x 20 cm cabin suitcase is a popular choice for luggage. Most airlines, including low-cost carriers, allow this size in the cabin. As weight restrictions for carry-on luggage have tightened, brands are actively developing lighter models. However, weight is not the only factor to consider.
Important Criteria for Choosing a Suitcase
The first consideration is the balance between weight and durability. Many ultra-light models sacrifice reliability. A difference of 150-200 grams may seem minor, but insufficient material strength can affect the suitcase's longevity.
It's better to choose trusted brands like Samsonite, American Tourister, Roncato, March, and Snowball, which guarantee quality and reliability. For example, the PP MATRIX series from Roncato offers both lightness and durability, while Curv suitcases from Samsonite represent the premium segment, which may not suit everyone’s budget.
Materials: What to Choose?
The best options are usually suitcases made of polypropylene, polycarbonate, or fabric materials like polyester and nylon. Polycarbonate and polypropylene suitcases can withstand heavy loads but tend to be slightly heavier than fabric models. Ultra-light rip-stop polyester suitcases deserve special attention. Although they appear thin, when manufactured properly, they can endure significant stress. This material is reinforced with super-strong lavsan threads, making it resistant to damage and tearing.
Design Features
Another way to reduce the weight of a suitcase is by using innovative design solutions:
- Telescopic Handles: Typically made from aerospace duralumin, which is nearly three times lighter than steel but equally strong.
- Wheels: Perforated wheels help reduce the suitcase's overall weight while maintaining reliability and maneuverability.
- Frame: Lightweight or honeycomb frames are used in lighter models to cut weight, or the frame may be omitted entirely.
These elements make it possible to create standard-size suitcases weighing less than 2 kg.
Two or Four Wheels?
For larger suitcases, a four-wheel system is more convenient, but for cabin luggage, the difference is minimal. Two-wheel suitcases offer a key advantage: greater internal capacity. The difference can be 1.5-2 liters for the same dimensions.
