How to choose a good quality luggage？
Step 1：Let's talk about the luggage material first.
The luggage material of the luggage can be roughly divided into two types, hard shell and soft shell.The material of the hard shell generally includes ABS , PC , ABS+PC , PP , aluminum-magnesium alloy.The material of the soft luggage is generally PVC, PU , cloth , leather .
A brief description of empirical selection:
ABS material is cheap and has average strength.
PC material is relatively light, impact resistant, but expensive and not scratch resistant.
ABS+PC material, affordable, good strength. Generally, the surface is PC material, and the bottom is ABS material.
PP material impact resistance, heat resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, good quality. However, PP material is not as beautiful as PC material, and it shows that it looks dull.
Aluminum alloy material, appearance bar, good quality. However, the price is expensive, it is easy to deform after violent pressure, and it is difficult to restore the original shape.
And look at the soft-shell luggage.
The advantage of the soft luggage is that it is relatively light, flexible, can hold more things, and you do not have to worry about the luggage will be damaged, throw it away.
However, the shortcomings of the soft luggage are also obvious, not waterproof and dust-proof, checked words can only be loaded with some relatively soft things, like similar digital products or can not afford to check. In addition, the safety of the soft luggage is also very poor, just a scratch to break.
Brief summary
Compare the advantages and disadvantages, and combine their main needs:
PC material is preferred, PC+ABS material is also available.
Strong preferred aluminum magnesium alloy.
Light and beautiful choice of PC material and PP material.
ABS is preferred for scratch resistance.
Fabric material is preferred for storage.
Step 2：Now look at the luggage size.
Common luggage sizes are 16 ", 18 ", 20 ", 22 ", 24 ", 26 ", 28 ", 32 ". But the most used is 20 ", 24 ", 26 "these three sizes.
Under 20 inches can be carried directly on the plane, more than 20 inches need to be checked.
Brief summary
Generally speaking, short distance travel 20 inches is more convenient, medium and long distance travel 24 inches is more convenient. Go abroad or family travel, direct 26 inch, 28 inch, or bring an extra luggage.Students generally choose 24 inches more, which can hold a lot of things, but not too heavy to carry the luggage.
Step 3: Zipper
Zippers are generally divided into single zipper and double zipper, double zipper is also called explosion-proof zipper. It can prevent the ball pen from splitting for a while, and it can protect it from being stretched out to a certain extent when the luggage is loaded slowly.
There is also a distinction between aluminum frame luggage and zipper luggage.Aluminum frame is strong, will not burst, safe. It's just heavy. Under normal circumstances, there is no special needs or choose zipper.
Step 4.：Wheels
The quality of the wheel largely determines the comfort of the trolley luggage. The common wheel forms of luggage are 2 wheels, 4 wheels, 8 wheels.
Two wheels, also known as directional wheels. The directional wheel is generally half embedded in the luggage, and the luggage claims to be one. Bumpy roads are fine. But the disadvantage is that it can only be pulled, not pushed.
Four wheels, generally called universal wheel, this wheel can be pulled, and can be pushed.
Eight wheels, in fact, is also called the universal wheel, only in order to distinguish from the four wheels and similar to the plane wheel, it is called the plane wheel. Four wheels is certainly not as good as eight wheels, after all, the structure of aircraft wheels is proved by many experts.
Brief summary
When buying luggage, prioritize aircraft wheels, especially large luggagees such as 26/28 inches. The disadvantages of this wheel are not enough because the wheel is outside the luggage, subjected to violence consignment may damage the wheel.
Step 5：luggage lock
Recommend the TSA lock , very suit for internation travel.
Step 6：Trolley
The tie rod is generally a T-type tie rod and double type tie rod. T-rod pull but easy to break, shake,double rod traditional but stable.
Brief summary
Generally The luggage quality will subject to the shell, lock, trolley and wheel, you can choose size according your travel demand.
