With the vacation season slowly but surely approaching, you have probably started planning out your vacation. Of course, the first thing you should decide on is the duration and the location of your vacation. Maybe you plan a long vacation, maybe a short one. Maybe you plan to go to the seaside, or visit a mountain resort? Take your time, and you will come up with the best choice. But, what about the other things you should consider? Have you planned out the things you are going to carry with you, and how to carry them? For this purpose, you are going to need the right suitcase. Most importantly, you are going to need a bag that is both sturdy, as well as lightweight, such as Rimowa.
The comfort of your dream journey and vacation heavily depends on the type and quality of your suitcase. It is imperative to have a suitcase that will allow you to easily carry all your clothes, toiletries and other items you are going to need. The modern lightweight suitcases have become extremely popular with travelers all across the globe, thanks to their durability, sturdiness, convenience, functionality, and, of course, light weight.
Large and heavy or small and lightweight
However, the choice of your preferred suitcase should mainly depend on the type of your vacation, as well as the amount and the type of luggage you are going to carry with you.
If you plan on visiting the hills or mountain resorts, your best option would be to take a heavier suitcase, since you will probably be carrying woolen clothes, and more clothes, in general.
If you have decided to go to the seaside for vacation, your best choice would be to take a lightweight suitcase, since you will most certainly carry much lighter clothes.
Benefits of lightweight suitcases
1. Weight
Lightweight suitcases weigh no more than 10 pounds and are quite small in size, usually no more than 30 inches. Although very light, these suitcases are also very durable, thanks to their design and materials used in their manufacturing process. Their specific design makes them highly flexible for packing, while at the same time, making them nearly indestructible. Most of these suitcases, especially the Rimowa ones, combine both the flexible soft-side luggage and the stable and durable hard-side luggage.
2. Security
These suitcases also excel when it comes to the security, as well. Each type of suitcase has its own, interesting and sophisticated locking system. Modern lightweight models are equipped with TSA locks, which are embedded directly into the structure of the suitcases, which will prevent anyone from tampering with them. TSA locks are combination locks that ensure that the zippers are safely locked up.
3. Mobility and navigation
Last, but not least, another important feature of these lightweight suitcases is the ease of navigation they offer. Each suitcase has a set of four wheels at its bottom. All four of the wheels are ball bearing types, which allow a full 360-degree turn. They are almost completely similar to the wheels found on the majority of office chairs but offer an even smoother experience than trackball mice.
