Best Case Scenario?

(1/2) > >>

Sellsy:
1 week to go, we are one suitcase short! loaned one out and never got it back!
Our hard shell indestructible case is cracked ! So guys and gals whats the best make and model out there? Has anyone tried the supposed worlds lightest cases? Are they up to the job? New shell cases any good? It seems real quality cases take up 1/3 rd of your weight allowance!

Denise:
My brother has just bought two of the world's lightest ones.
They haven't actually used them and seen if they survive the baggage handlers yet, but
they have got 10 yr guarantees with them.
They are extremely light though, as my arm shot up in the air when I picked one up expecting it to be heavier.
I think they got theirs from Matalan.

Sellsy:
Thanks Denise, had a quick look at these, super light is an understatement ! Not 100% convinced they will be up to the task and, as the decent size ones are around £70 - £ 80 I may just  stick to a more traditional case, thing is they all weigh quite a lot. The shell ones are lighter but our last one cracked...perhaps its the fact that I hate spending money that's holding me back! Now next dilemma 4 wheels or 2!

strogs:
We bought Tripp extra light cases a few years ago.  They certainly were lighter than our old cases and they have certainly stood up the the grief they get from baggage handlers.
You can either get them on line or Debenhams sell them.  Hope this helps.

Rover:
I have used a large "holdall" style Antler bag for some years. These bags are less prone to damage, but care is needed when packing to protect breakables. The bag also has wheels, and a useful waterproof section which will prevent spills/leaks into main part of bag. The weight is not bad, and I am generally pleased with it, but packing is not as easy as with a "rigid" case.
When you see how your bags are treated "behind the scenes" in the handling process at airports, expensive kit may not be such a good idea?
