Are you planning a trip over the borders this summer? Then you must consider the value of traveling with a lightweight luggage, especially that airports charge you extra if your baggage weighs more than 20 kilos. Another advantage is that you can pack the exact things you need without fear of carrying those heavy loads everywhere you go. A standard luggage can weigh up to five kilograms – that means 5 kilos less items that you could take, a number that may prove to be capital in some cases. So, to save money and effort we’ve compiled a list of the best lightweight suitcases. The first suitcases were made of wool or linen to keep them light and comfortable, and today the industry is focusing on exactly that aspect by using materials such as PVC or polycarbonate.
10. Delsey Luggage Helium Shadow
The 25 inch four-wheeler with hardside is made of polycarbonate, making the suitcase very light, yet very resistant to scratches. It features the one-button safety locking handle system, and an ergonomic handle. The inside is fully lined and has 2 separate spaces for packaging.
9. Antler Duolite
Our next product – the Antler Duolite, combines the utility of a high-end frame with the stylish design of a traveler’s luggage. The material used to make this product is polyester, making the suitcase weigh only 2.5 kilos. On the side you can find a handle for easy transportation.
