Travel Bag

Travel bag

A broad term that can include any form of luggage that is used for travelling. The travel bag, or luggage bag shapes are many, but the most common ones are perhaps the suitcase and the duffle bag. Many brands produce a variety of bags that one can use for travelling.

Construction and designs

A travel bag can be made from different fabrics, aluminium and iterations of plastic such as graphite. Another material used by more expensive brands is carbon fibre. The softer materials help one in case they need to over-stuff their bag, but a hard case will win out in durability over time.

The designs vary from brand to brand, each has its own accentuation to make their luggage line stand out more. Some use printed designs while others emboss into the hard cases. The inside design is similar mostly, with a variation in compartments and pockets. At times there are velcro inserts that allow you to change up the spacing to your requirements. Hard cases usually have a combination-lock built into them, at times with key-locked latches too. The fabric ones have a zip which one can lock. A lot of times the locks that come with travel bags are of low quality, so it is better to purchase that separately.

Wheels are common on travel bags as that makes it a lot easier to move them around while one is at the airport, but not all bags have them.

Airport staff is quite prone to tossing ones luggage bag when loading and unloading, so a sturdy bag is a must. Even fabric bags have better qualities that will last longer.

Comments
