The first thing you have to do when shopping for luggage is to keep an open mind because the way people travel has changed dramatically in recent years. Think of luggage as something that should be able to comfortably hold your belongings and make your travel more enjoyable by taking the weight strain off of your back and shoulders.

You may not realize it but what you're really purchasing is a travel system with various features. Many brands offer inter-connective bags for different needs.

Consider the following features before you buy luggage:

Wheels - Recessed wheels are preferred because they are less susceptible to damage. I favor larger, rubberized wheels with ball bearings for smooth handling and longevity. Wheel the case on both carpeted and un-carpeted surfaces to check the glide as well as the case's compatibility with your hand and height. Turn corners to check it's balance.

Outer shell - Hard sided luggage cases protect contents but are heavy and clunky. Soft sided cases are great carry-ons but don't check them if you're carrying fragile objects. Semisoft sided cases combine the benefits of hard and soft styles.

Material - For soft and semisoft cases nylon is the strongest followed by polyester (often combined) Material is measured in denier - the higher the denier, the thicker the fiber. Look for tight dense weave.

Hardware - Handles and shoulder straps should be attached with multiple rivets for strength. Handles and shoulder straps which are attached with rings should have solid metal rings- split rings can separate.
