Luggage

There are lots of things that are fun to buy. Shoes are fun to buy, accessories like watches or jewelry are fun to buy, and food of course is a pleasure, which makes it fun to buy as well. If I said luggage is fun to buy, you’d likely tune out. But luggage has come a long way since the days of our parents and grandparents. No longer is it a boring, demanding buy that one needs to set aside money for. Luggage in 2019 is fashionable, unique, extremely handy and the selection is as wide as it gets.

We’re going to jump in here with the best luggage purchases per distinct category. Let’s get packing!

International Travel Choice

International travel is its own animal. Packing needs to be strategic, considering a host of “what ifs” and being prepared with all the necessities should any of those nasty scenarios come to fruition. In this arena, there are lots of choices, but Samsonite rises to the top. For one, they’re lightweight, which means you can pack more and not have to worry as much about airline weight restrictions. Second, they roll well, really well. Four wheels that you can maneuver any which way comes in super handy running and sweating your way through an airport. And third, Samsonite is as durable as it gets. Pay a bit more and you can get them water resistant too.

Bang for your Buck Choice

Delsey has been rising through the ranks and at prices low enough to have you scratching your head and wondering, “how are they making a profit here?” Delsey luggage is fantastically priced and very good quality as well. These stylish pieces (check out the Chatelet) are also available in more durable options such as the hard-side Helium Aero. On the soft-side the Cruise Lite is a popular model and techies in general love this brand as little features like a double-padded neoprene sleeve and a power bank pocket plus cable port is great value added.

Go-to Brand for Sets Choice

Confusing title, right? A tad, what we’re trying to communicate here is when folks travel for long periods of time, multiple suitcases are sometimes necessary. But it’s not enough to just take more than one suitcase. The reason why is luggage companies these days have made suitcases in what’s known as sets, which means not only are they color coordinated, they can be attached to one another easily and are extremely adaptable. The winner in this category is Victorinox. More specific, the Victorinox Werks Traveler line is sturdy, comes in multiple sizes and hooks together seamlessly to enable quick and efficient travel through busy airports. Warning, these suitcases are not cheap, but then again, odds are you will hang on to them for years, so the investment is worth it.

Luggage shopping doesn’t need to be a drag. Check out any on this list and who knows, it might be more pleasurable than eating.
