If you’re a frequent traveler, keeping your luggage, and its contents, lightweight and s treamlined should be an absolute priority, and the last thing you need to be concerned with is breaking baggage allowance rules and paying those exorbitant fees that you get stuck with when your luggage is too heavy. Luckily, the bag brands are on your side when it comes to keeping things light, and there are plenty of great options that combine ruggedness with lightweight materials to keep everything streamlined and efficient when you’re making your way through terminals across the globe.
Aluminum may be beautiful, but you’re going to want to go the polycarbonate route if you want to keep your luggage as light as possible. Metal cases also tend to dent easily and if you’re forced to check your bag, you can kiss that immaculate surface goodbye. Polycarbonate is not only light, but it’s also incredibly durable and it’s the best option if you want to keep the overall weight low while also al lowing for maximum packing space.
