Lightweight Luggage - A Buyers Guide

What is lightweight luggage?

These range from superlight, hyper-light, feather-light, tech-light, megalight and the list goes on. But what do they mean? And how do you know which is best? In short, nothing and you don't.

You see, marketers make up these to sell these products as being increasingly lightweight luggage items, but in reality the names have little relation to their actual weight.

As a rough guide, a truly lightweight case soft case should be below 3.5 kg (large case) to be deemed lightweight and under 4kg for a hard case.

Why pick lightweight?

In times of ever increasing charges and decreasing weight limits, lightweight luggage reigns supreme. Not only will you save money, you'll have case that's much more portable and with modern cases, you won't really have to sacrifice durability either.

Materials - what to look for Advances in technology mean that cases are constantly getting lighter, stronger and better looking!
