Lightweight Suitcases

Choosing the Right Lightweight Suitcases

Lightweight suitcases are ideal if you travel frequently or don't like lifting heavy luggage. There are a number of lightweight bags on eBay to choose from that have convenient wheels and handles to help you transport the bag from one place to another. Check out eBay’s marketplace for a large number of new and pre-owned suitcases that fit your budget.

If you're looking for lightweight luggage, then the material is very important because this controls how heavy the suitcase is in general. Some of the most common materials are:

• Fabric: These suitcases are soft and weigh less than most other materials. Thicker fabric makes the suitcase sturdier, but this can also increase weight. The most common fabrics include nylon and polyester.
• Polycarbonate: This is highly durable and light. Polycarbonate is able to bend without breaking.
• Polypropylene: Polypropylene is the lightest material available for suitcases, but it's not as flexible as some other materials.
• PVC: This material is affordable while being light and providing some resistance against impact.

Size is important with suitcases for two reasons. The first and most obvious is that you need to store clothes, toiletries, and other travel items. In this case, you want to allow yourself enough room to comfortably fit all your items along with a little extra room. You never know when you'll be bringing something back from your travels.

The second reason is that bags that are too large cannot be checked on a flight without an additional fee. This sizing largely depends on the airline company, but in general, you can often check bags up to 56cm by 45cm by 25cm in size. Check the eBay item description to get the specific sizing of the suitcase.

There are a number of features to consider when picking a suitcase. Some of the most common ones include:

• Piggy back clip: This is a large clip on the top of the bag. You can use this to connect another bag to your main one, which makes it easier to transport them together.
• Wheels: Almost all lightweight suitcases have wheels, but you have the choice between two or four wheels. Models with two wheels tend to be lighter, but those with four wheels are more stable when being transported.
• Expandable: Some suitcases can be expanded. You just need to open up the sides and you'll have extra room.
• Locks: This allows you to lock the suitcase so that it cannot be accessed without a key.
