Best Hard Shell Suitcases in the UK

The people at Samsonite make great luggage and the S'Cure model is not an exception. The company's usually able to add these nice little details that really separate their bags from just about every other product on the market right now.

Here, these details include, among other things, a three-point locking system that offers extra security. In addition to the locking system, the model incorporates the usual 3-digit TSA combination lock that we've seen many times before. There are also these nice little latches that do not necessarily offer much in terms of security but they do make sure the bag stays always closed.

There's an ID tag on the back that might help you recover the bag in case you lose it. The manufacturers have also included seals around the rim that limit moisture penetration as much as possible.

All that being said, the biggest selling point here is probably the company's very own polypropylene mix called Flowlite. The material lets Samsonite produce extremely thin polypropylene shells without compromising on strength.

The interior is good but nothing necessarily to write home about. You have the usual cross ribbons, a zipped divider pad, and a large side pocket.

In other words, Samsonite S'Cure is one of the most secure and practical suitcases on the market right now. You'll definitely be able to keep your valuable belongings safe with this bag. The price is a little steep but you can't really put a price on the peace of mind that the model gives you on the road.

Coolife Trolley Suitcase looks sleek and elegant, something that we cannot say about suitcases.

At the same time, its ABS construction is sturdy and tough enough to make sure the items inside are protected from the road.

Generally speaking, the product's hard shell is scratch-resistant but the finish is fairly susceptible to scratches anyway, so we would still recommend treading with caution.

The aluminium handle is not susceptible to anything though, pretty much immune to scratches, bending, rust, and corrosion.

Measuring 93 litres, the 'case is as roomy as they come. The main compartment has been fully lined to extend the fabrics' service life. There are down straps there and zippered dividers that let you secure the contents and enable easy organization.

Apart from that, there are spacious mesh pockets inside, providing further organization and making various items accessible.

Meanwhile, the 3-digit TSA combination lock will be securing the items' safety and providing the necessary peace of mind.

Last but not least, the wheels will enable 360-degree manoeuvrability, so you'll have no issues lugging this lightweight case around with you.

Bottom line, Coolife Trolley Suitcase will let you travel with confidence and style.

Pack light? Not a bad idea in general. But, sometimes, you want to bring as many of your precious and valuable belongings as possible. And, with this model from Aerolite, you might just be able to.

The biggest selling point of this product was easy to discern. With 79 x 31 x 58 centimetres in overall dimensions and 131 litres of volume, this large suitcase will offer you tons of space. So, you won't have to compromise and will be able to take as many clothes and different items with you as you want.

Other than that, this hard shell suitcase doesn't differ that much from any other similar product. It comes with a 3-digit combination barrel padlock, so you won't have to worry about your item's safety. The 360-degree spinner wheels provide great manoeuvrability. With them, you'll be able to effortlessly roll from the airport to your hotel and vice versa.

There's a convenient extra zipper compartment for some of the more important belongings. Made of hard plastic, the ABS shell will be able to protect this black suitcase from the usual rough and tumble of the road. A mesh pocket inside serves as an extra divider. And the packing straps will allow you to bring something like a laptop with you without worrying about its safety and security.

Again, Aerolite hard shell suitcase isn't something that you bring with you on a short business trip. This is a suitcase that you take when you're planning a long vacation, full of incredible opportunities and a number of potential events and activities that may require a lot of different things and items.

Luggage doesn't have to be stylish, we understand that. But it is always a plus. And stylish is exactly how we would describe this suitcase from Samsonite. It isn't much but the ribbed/corrugated design of the shell makes it look just a bit more elegant and fresh compared to most other suitcases, so you probably won't be able to mix it with any other bag.

But the model isn't just a looker. Featuring 94 litres of volume, it will allow you to fit a whole lot of different personal belongings and you might even be left with enough space for souvenirs.

Made of lightweight polycarbonate, the model is as robust as it is light, adding up to no more than 3.4 kilograms in weight. The material in question won't just protect the suitcase from physical damage but also from any environmental damage.

What we liked in particular is a double tube wheel handle. It provides a comfortable grip and it is easily adjustable. There's a zipper divider pad that separates the top and the bottom compartments, so you'll be able to organize your belongings any way you want. Plus, the bottom compartment has cross ribbons to secure the safety of some of those belongings. Finally, there's a convenient identification/address label, an always welcome addition to any bag.

All in all, the Samsonite Neopulse hard case luggage will prove to be the best pick for those individuals who aren't just looking for a convenient bag with a lot of space but also for a stylish addition to their personal belongings collection. Plus, it comes in a variety of different colours to match your style.

We all love travelling since we all like to visit new places, experience different cultures, and try new and exciting activities. But the physical act of travelling is seldom that pleasant. Now, there isn't much you can do to make it fun. But the American Tourister Bon Air hard shell suitcase should help you make it less stressful and tiresome.

The 100% polypropylene makes it as rugged as they come. So you won't need to be gentle with it as this medium-sized suitcase should be able to withstand anything you or the road might throw its way. It also comes with a lot of different pockets and compartments, so you'll be able to organize your baggage the way you see fit.

Among other things, the top compartment offers a zipped divider interior pad. There are a couple of very practical mesh pockets there, perfect for storing liquids and anything of the kind. There's also an address label that might just get you your hard shell suitcase and your belongings back if you or the airline manage to lose it.

Just like bags, people come in different shapes and sizes. Which is why an adjustable multi-stage push-button locking handle was a thoughtful addition to the model. Regardless of your height, overall frame, or carrying preferences, it should be able to fit you to a tee.

To rephrase our earlier point, American Tourister Bon Air is just the thing for you if you like visiting new places but you aren't necessarily ecstatic about some of the more annoying parts of travelling like packing your things or going on and off aeroplanes.
