How to choose a suitcase when traveling abroad?

When buying a suitcase, the first thing to consider is the material, because it determines the appearance and practicality of the suitcase. At present, the common suitcases on the market are mainly divided into three categories, namely hard suitcases, soft suitcases and suitcases.

Generally speaking, hard-shell boxes are waterproof, durable and easy to maintain, and most of them have the characteristics of high temperature resistance, wear resistance, impact resistance, waterproof and compression resistance, so hard-shell boxes are more suitable for long-distance travel.

The soft box is mainly made of nylon, Oxford cloth or non-woven fabric. Although these fabrics don't look as fashionable as hard shells, they are also very durable and are not easy to have problems when consigning.

Compared with hard luggage, soft luggage has the advantages of light weight, strong toughness, rich styles, scratch resistance, portability and more things. The diversification of the external design of the box (such as the external pocket that is convenient for placing some small items) is also one of its advantages. In addition, because the soft box has ductility, it has a larger capacity than the hard box.

But the fly in the ointment is that the waterproof effect of soft box is not as good as that of hard box, and it is not easy to put fragile items, and the compression and impact resistance are not as good as that of hard box. Therefore, the soft box is more suitable for short-distance travel and can also be used as a carry-on boarding box.

There are many sizes of suitcases, the common ones are 20 inches, 24 inches, 28 inches and 32 inches. When shopping, we should not only choose the size according to the number of days of travel, but also consider the size requirements of airlines for boarding boxes and consignment boxes.

The common size of a 20-inch suitcase is 52cm× 36cm× 24cm. This suitcase is small and exquisite, economical and applicable, and it is the only suitcase with four sizes that can be brought into the cabin.

A moderately sized 24-inch suitcase is most suitable for the public to put in the suitcase. You can choose this size suitcase for the 7-day long holiday during the Spring Festival.

The 28-inch suitcase is suitable for people who travel all the year round. The large capacity can put down a lot of daily necessities and work supplies for them, which is very suitable for the needs of business people who travel all the year round.

32 inches is the largest size of luggage, which is most suitable for people who need long-distance travel or go on road trip. However, it should be noted that suitcases of this size are not allowed to be checked.

However, it should be noted that 20-inch suitcases can be brought into the aircraft cabin, 24-inch and 28-inch suitcases can be checked, and 32-inch suitcases are not allowed to be checked.

Buying box details is king.

In addition to the material and size, the small details of the suitcase can not be ignored.

Imagine, in your perfect holiday trip, if the luggage tie rod suddenly breaks and the wheels fall off, these situations will definitely greatly reduce your good mood.

In the choice of details, I suggest you choose the built-in rubber roller to reduce the noise caused by dragging. In addition, for the common four-wheeled luggage and multi-wheeled luggage in the market, the four-wheeled luggage is too flexible and easy to fall. Multi-wheeled luggage with different front and rear wheels can walk more smoothly and is not easy to get involved in sundries. "

In the detail selection of luggage pull rod, it is recommended that you choose the built-in pull rod. Although this kind of box occupies a large space in the box, the built-in pull rod is relatively stable. In particular, the all-aluminum pull rod is not only light in weight, but also strong in strength and not easy to deform. Of course, you can also choose the design that the pull rod and pulley shrink into the suitcase. During inspection, the wheels and pull rods are not easy to be damaged, and it is also convenient to store in the wardrobe. Don't put mothballs in the suitcase, because mothballs will damage the lining and clothes straps of the suitcase. "Xiao Ye said.

You should also be careful when loading luggage. Suitcases of the same size are stored by different people, but the capacity is completely different.

Leaving clothes lying around not only wastes space, but also makes you anxious when looking for things. At this time, don't complain that the suitcase is not big enough Those wasted spaces are what you ignore.

Small ways to save space:

Roll clothes and trousers tightly into a cylinder and pile them together for later use. Then put the heaviest items such as shoes and rolled pants at the bottom of the suitcase. Then put the rolled lighter clothes on the second floor. The lightest clothes are rolled on the third floor. Finally, put the cosmetics and handbag on the top floor, adjust the position a little, and you can close the box.

It is also worth noting that wallets and certificates should be packed in waterproof bags and carried with you to avoid loss. All power cables, USB cables and data cables should be stored together, and the electrical plugs should be put as far away as possible. The power supply of digital equipment must be turned off. Then put it in a thick shockproof protective cover.

Baggage storage skills

Tubular storage method

It is not only not easy to wrinkle, but also saves space by rolling the woven clothes into a tube for storage.

Put socks in your shoes.

It's best to roll socks into tubes and stuff them into shoes, which will not only save space, but also prevent shoes from being squeezed and deformed.

Skin care product and liquid isolation method

Skin care products and liquids must be isolated from other clothes. Try to choose small bottles and keep them in waterproof washing bags.

Light on the top and heavy on the bottom

Heavy items such as shoes and books should be placed under the suitcase as far as possible, and light and wrinkled clothes should be placed on it, and then fixed with bandages, so that when the suitcase is in an upright state, the items inside will not be pressed.

Belt fixing

After the luggage is packed, before closing the box cover, it must be fixed with a strap in the box to avoid the items in the suitcase from being scattered and squeezed during transportation.

Portable folding bag

If possible, try to put a folding bag made of nylon in your suitcase, which will not only solve your unexpected needs during your trip, but also take up too much space.
