Hard- or soft-shell luggage?
Which is best for you?
The advantages of hardside luggage
It keeps your belongings safe and secure
A hard-shell suitcase is a great option if you want protection for fragile possessions and delicate electronics.
It protects your belongings from the elements
A tough exterior keeps moisture from rain, snow and puddles away from your valuables, helping everything get to your destination in the same condition you packed it.
It’s easy to clean
Don’t worry about dragging your suitcase through the mud. A wipe of a wet cloth usually does it – thanks to state-of-the-art, scratch-resistant technology.
The advantages of softside luggage
It’s strong and versatile
Soft-shell luggage is highly resistant to wear and tear. It’s strong but versatile – so you can pack those one or two – or three – extra things you wish to bring at the last minute.
It offers easy access
The soft material lets you easily slip a hand into a side pocket or the main case. Just unzip the bag and grab what you need.
It’s flexible
With its flexible edges, softside luggage stacks well in the car making it ideal for road trips and for other tight storage spaces.
Hardside Luggage
What is a hard suitcase? The clam shell aspect of a hard suitcase protects the contents from hard knocks and outside elements. Tailored systems keep everyone out except you and security personnel.
Is it scratch-resistant? Our hardside cases are made from top-quality polycarbonate. This provides exceptional impact resistance, and its signature rib design and chamfered edges minimise scratches.
Is it flexible? With some cases that are expandable from 20–40%, our hard cases let you decide how much to bring and take home.
Softside luggage
What is soft luggage? The outside of what is called a “soft” suitcase is made of robust textiles and usually has a side pocket for things you need as you travel.
Is soft luggage water-resistant? Today’s durable, long-lasting fabric makes soft cases more resistant to moisture.
Can soft luggage protect fragile belongings? The super-strong inner frames are highly resistant to weight and pressure, protecting your valuables inside.
Is soft luggage less stylish? Soft suitcases look very smart and tend to remain that way for a long time – thanks to their resistance to wear and tear.
