1
Warranty and Guarantee
Many people assume that a warranty and guarantee are the same things or just two different ways of describing similar aspects. That is not the case. When looking for the perfect luggage, it is important to keep both in mind as to how long the luggage will perform and whether or not it has been tested before. If the manufacturer does not give a guarantee, it is most likely that a long-term warranty will be provided with some even going to the extent of providing a lifetime warranty. -

The Fabric
Fabric strength is very important when it comes to buying the perfect luggage because it is something you need to depend on when your personal items are being transported and quite often, thrown around. Nylon is by far the most widely used fabric in luggage and is usually durable but some brands may use other materials to make their product look better but do not compromise on durability in the end. -

Friends and Family
There are always some people in our list of friends and family members that are constant travelers. Getting their advice on which brand and type of luggage is the a good way to find exactly the what you are looking for.

Wheels
Most people do not test out the luggage when buying it but when it comes to wheels, trying them out is of great value as it will save you money in the end. Check whether the luggage is maneuverable, especially when packed to the maximum and whether or not the wheels are able to take the load. Also, take some time to check all the other features like zippers and handles before buying.
