What kind of suitcase should I use when going abroad?

Introduction of luggage selection knowledge:

Common materials and characteristics:

Oxford cloth: similar to nylon. Its advantages are wear resistance and practicality. But its disadvantage is that the material and style are the same, it is difficult to distinguish luggage at the airport, and it is heavy. But don't worry about the damage of the box when you check it. It remains the same after several years of use. In contrast, the surface wear of ABS material will be more obvious after a period of use.

Pu leather: made of artificial leather pu. The advantages of this kind of suitcase are very similar to those of cowhide. It looks very high-grade, but it is not as afraid of water as luggage. The disadvantage is that it is not wear-resistant and not very strong, but the price is low.

Canvas: The biggest advantage of canvas is wear resistance, but the disadvantage is that the impact resistance is not as good as Oxford cloth, and the canvas material is evenly colored, but boxes made of this material are rare.

Pvc: The so-called hard box, which is resistant to falling, water, impact, wear and fashion, is much stronger than ABS. It is the strongest box, with smooth surface and beautiful appearance, so there is no need to worry about scratching due to rough handling. The biggest drawback is weight. The box alone is nearly 20 kilograms. Many airlines limit luggage to 20 kilograms, which means that the weight of the box accounts for half, which is very inconvenient.

Cowhide: Generally speaking, the luggage made of cowhide is the most expensive, and it is afraid of water, grinding, pressing and scraping.

ABS: This is a relatively new material. Its main features are lighter than other materials, flexible and hard surface and good impact resistance. Although it feels soft and weak, it is actually very elastic and easy to clean. The disadvantage is that it is easy to scratch, but a box cover will solve this problem well.

PC: PC is polycarbonate plastic, which is a common material for space cups and barreled water buckets. It is an engineering plastic with excellent performance, the strongest in the box, smooth and beautiful surface, and its biggest feature is "light". That is to say, the most commonly used and popular hard boxes on the market are resistant to falling, impact, water, wear and fashion.
