What material should you choose for a suitcase?

Choosing the right material is key to a durable and comfortable suitcase that will last for years. Our range includes suitcases made from various materials, but one stands out in particular for luggage protection and resistance to damage.

The best choice for frequent travelers

POLYCARBONATE

Polycarbonate is a lightweight, flexible material that is exceptionally resistant to impact. It does not crack under pressure, but instead absorbs shocks, effectively protecting the contents. It comes with a standard 5-year warranty, while selected models even include lifetime protection for the shell. We offer a standard 5-year warranty, and selected models, such as CRAKE and JACKDAW, come with a lifetime warranty on the shell.

Hard-shell or soft-shell suitcases - which should you choose?

HARD-SHELL SUITCASES

Made of polycarbonate, polypropylene, or ABS, they provide a higher level of luggage protection. They better protect the contents from impacts and moisture, which is why they are especially recommended for air travel and as checked baggage. They are a good choice if you transport delicate items or fly frequently.

SOFT SUITCASES

Made of polyester, they are lighter and more flexible. They often offer additional external pockets and an expansion feature, which makes organization easier and increases capacity. They are ideal for traveling by car or train, and anywhere quick access to the contents and greater packing flexibility are important.

The JACKDAW model is made of polycarbonate, with 50%
of the material coming from recycled sources. This solution helps reduce
the use of new raw materials while maintaining the high resistance and
flexibility characteristic of polycarbonate suitcases.

The suitcase is covered by a lifetime warranty on the body, which
confirms the durability of the construction and the product’s long service life.

Key features of travel suitcases

The right technical solutions contribute to the comfort and safety of every journey. It is worth paying attention to several key elements of a suitcase’s equipment.

COMBINATION LOCK

The classic combination lock effectively protects the suitcase's contents from access by third parties. This practical and simple solution increases luggage security during every journey.

TSA LOCK

The TSA lock system allows airport security personnel to open the suitcase with a special key without damaging the mechanism. This is particularly important when traveling internationally, where luggage may be subject to security checks.

Adjustable telescopic handle

  • Standard handle

    The adjustable handle allows the suitcase's handle height to be adapted to the user's height. It provides comfort and smooth maneuverability while traveling.

  • Wide handle

    The wide, double-mounted frame increases the stability of the structure and improves control over the suitcase. This solution is particularly valued when the luggage is heavily loaded.

SINGLE SWIVEL WHEELS

Lightweight, quiet, and maneuverable, they perform well in everyday use. They allow you to move your suitcase comfortably in different directions.

DOUBLE SWIVEL WHEELS

They provide greater stability and better weight distribution. They ensure smooth and quiet movement even on uneven surfaces.

Suitcase expansion feature

An additional zipper allows you to quickly increase the suitcase's capacity when you need more space. This solution is most commonly found in soft-sided suitcases, but is also available in selected hard-shell models, providing greater packing flexibility.

Suitcase design

The appearance of a suitcase is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also a way to express your personal style while traveling. Modern shapes, subdued or bold colors, and cohesive finishes make these models suitable for both business trips and personal travel.

Refined design goes hand in hand with functionality, creating luggage that looks great and performs just as well in everyday use.
