What to look for when buying lightweight suitcases – How to find the ideal travel companion

A lightweight suitcase can make all the difference between stress-free travel and the hassle of lugging around heavy luggage. But what really matters? Material, weight, wheels or security – choosing the right suitcase depends on many factors.

Weight – The lighter, the better

The main feature of a lightweight suitcase is, of course, its low weight. Make sure the weight is under 3 kg for hand luggage and under 4.5 kg for large suitcases to stay well within the baggage limits.

Material – Sturdiness with minimal weight

Choosing the right material plays a crucial role in determining the weight of a suitcase. Lightweight suitcases are made from innovative materials that are both robust and feather-light:

Polycarbonate – very light, durable and scratch-resistant

ABS plastic – Slightly heavier, but very durable

Curv® material – super-lightweight and extremely sturdy

Polyester/nylon (soft-sided luggage) – Flexible, lightweight and often with additional external pockets

Size & Capacity – Suitable for the duration of your trip

The size should suit your travel plans:

Hand luggage up to 55 cm, approx. 30–40 litres Perfect for weekend trips

Medium-sized suitcase approx. 65 cm, approx. 60–80 litres Ideal for a week’s trip

Large suitcase from 75 cm, approx. 90–120 litres For longer journeys

Tip: An expandable model gives you more flexibility should you need extra space whilst travelling.

Wheels – 2 or 4?

2 wheels: More stable on uneven surfaces, but less manoeuvrable

4 double wheels (spinner suitcases): Easier to manoeuvre, perfect for airports and railway stations

High-quality 360° double-wheel systems are recommended, as they are more durable and run more smoothly.

Locks & Security – TSA lock recommended

A TSA combination lock protects your luggage from theft and makes security checks easier when travelling to the USA.

Interior & Features – Practical Organisation

A good, lightweight suitcase should have a well-thought-out layout:

Dividers & packing straps for better organisation
Separate compartments for shoes, cosmetics and electronics
Water-repellent lining for added protection

Design & Colour – Functional & Stylish

As well as functionality, design is also important. Bright colours or patterns help you spot your suitcase more quickly on the baggage carousel.

The perfect lightweight suitcase combines comfort and functionality: consider weight, material, size, wheels and security to find the ideal lightweight suitcase for your needs. travelite offers a wide selection of ultra-lightweight suitcases that combine comfort and quality.
