Large Suitcase: Buying Guide

Large Suitcase: Buying Guide

While carry-on luggage is the undisputed star of travel gear—synonymous with speed and convenience for all short trips—it isn’t the best choice when facing a long trip lasting more than 7 days.

In these cases, the best solution is a large suitcase that perfectly balances functionality and style.

All suitcase models on the market come in various standard sizes, ranging from S to XL.

For long-term trips, where you often end up packing clothes for several family members, it’s advisable to purchase an L or XL model to avoid the frustrating lack of space when packing.

The choice is certainly a difficult one, which is why we’ve decided to create a buying guide for the perfect large suitcase.

Here are the features to consider when choosing a large suitcase, based on our experience.

Large Luggage Dimensions

One of the factors to consider is definitely the size of the suitcase: for size L models, the longest side is around 70 cm, while for XL models it can reach up to 81 cm.

If you can’t afford to exceed the size limits at airport security, it’s best to choose a large hard-shell suitcase to avoid any unpleasant issues before departure.

Large hard-shell suitcases are the right choice for anyone who prefers to travel with the assurance that their luggage is extremely secure. In fact, while hard-shell luggage may offer some limitations on how items are arranged inside, the material it’s made of protects the contents from external impacts, safeguarding electronic devices and delicate items.

One of the most popular models among fans of hard-shell luggage is the “American Tourister” large hard-shell trolley with expandable capacity: ultra-modern and super durable, it’s a reliable companion for your next trip.

If, on the other hand, you prefer extra capacity, we recommend a suitcase made of soft materials—more flexible and spacious. The technical fabrics used to make these models adapt perfectly to the contents inside, allowing you to gain precious centimeters when packing your travel wardrobe.

4-Wheel Suitcases

The larger the suitcase, the more important it is to distribute its weight evenly across the base. That’s why you shouldn’t underestimate the importance of choosing the right wheels and the various spinning features offered by different models.

For large suitcases, the four-wheel multidirectional system is a decidedly more convenient choice than the classic two inline wheels, which are stiffer and slower.

Samsonite’s Proxis XL trolley, for example, ensures stable maneuvering even when carrying heavy loads, thanks to its double-tube pull handle. Additionally, the dual-wheel system makes it easy to roll the suitcase over any surface.

Choosing a Stylish Suitcase

When it comes to luggage, as we all know, appearance matters; so you can’t help but give aesthetics the attention they deserve. A suitcase is, in every sense, an accessory to match your travel outfit, which is why it should be chosen with care.

Lovers of modern style will appreciate suitcases with sleek, dynamic lines, such as the large “Roncato” Trolley from the “We are Glam” line, featuring rounded corners and elegant, tapered shapes.

This XL Trolley model is made from 100% recyclable material and extremely lightweight polypropylene. The interior features two zippered compartments, perfect for keeping your belongings super organized. Anyone who loves adding a playful touch to their look can’t miss the Large Trolley “Crash Baggage” from the Icon line, available in all its vibrant colors! The iconic dents on the surface give the design a sophisticated and eye-catching look—perfect for never going unnoticed!
