Best Lightweight Luggage in the UK

The company behind IT Luggage advertises their product as the world's lightest four-wheel spinner suitcase. And that may not be entirely true given that it weighs around 2.4 kilograms, which isn't really that different compared to the majority of lightweight hand luggage. Nevertheless, what we have here is still an outstanding travel assistant.

One of the best parts about this product is its frame made of ultra-strong two-tone fabric. Simply put, it offers protection and longevity properties similar to PVC without burdening you with a hard outer shell. With just about 74 x 44 x 25 centimetres in overall dimensions, the model features precisely 71 litres of volume. That means that the relatively compact product offers a surprisingly large amount of space. We would also like to mention the model's smooth and silent wheels that will allow you to carry the suitcase around with effortless ease and without the usual scratching accompaniment.

Other than that, this small suitcase with wheels doesn't offer anything out of the ordinary that you wouldn't expect out of quality luggage. Two packing straps are there to help you keep your stuff in place. There are also a couple of mesh pockets inside and 2 large zipped pockets on the outside. Naturally, the top and side carry handles and a telescopic trolley handle are there as well.

To sum it up, we would recommend the model in question to the kind of customers who prefer a softer frame and an outer shell that can still carry its own weight and offer years of faithful service. You'll also be able to choose from any of the 6 available colours.

Eastpak Tranverz is the sleekest, most attractive suitcase we've looked at lately.

Before anything else though, the 'case is compact and lightweight, measuring 51 x 32.5 x 23 centimetres and 2.5 kilograms. Of course, with these compact dimensions, the relatively 42-litre volume is understandable.

Nevertheless, the main compartment is spacious enough, leaving ample space and letting you easily stow enough belongings inside. The compression straps will aid volume control and allow you to pack tight.

Meanwhile, the telescopic handle and the suitcase's smooth wheeling system will make sure the 'case glides across all surfaces. That being said, the wheels do not necessarily rotate, so you'll have to rotate the 'case when changing directions, making navigation easy enough but not ideal.

On the upside, the suitcase comes fitted with this nice little laptop sleeve that will be able to accommodate <13.3-inch laptops.

Apart from that, you'll have access to 2 zip pockets and one zip mesh pocket, so you'll have some wiggle room to separate and divide the items. Add to that the 2 protective studs on the base and 2 protective studs on the back and you have yourself a surprisingly sturdy and especially convenient lightweight suitcase.

The people behind this Aerolite suitcase understand the hardships that entail travel and make sure that the company's product doesn't add to these hardships.

Incorporating four high-mileage wheels, the suitcase promotes seamless 360-degree movement, while the company's signature double-tube retractable trolley grip handle that you can easily activate via the push button enables easy and effortless transportation, also letting you easily stabilise objects that you place on top.

The road can be downright gruesome sometimes. That's where the company's hard-wearing 600 Denier rip-resistant polyester comes forth, protecting the suitcase against cuts, scratches, and everything else.

Of course, generally speaking, these suitcases are only as good as the pockets/compartments allow them to be. Here, we have this large front pocket that lets you store sizable personal belongings/accessories, whilst the small top pocket will prove perfect for smaller items like passports and tickets, making them easily accessible.

Long story short, what we have here is an excellent lightweight suitcase. The two protective studs on the sides make sure you don't damage fragile items. The ID label on the back will let you easily identify the suitcase. The top and side handles allow you to comfortably carry the 'case when necessary.

Karabar Extra-Large Suitcase is massive but, at the same time, surprisingly lightweight.

Despite measuring 77 x 46 x 29 centimetres, the 'case weighs less than 2.6 kilograms. Volume-wise, this thing measures 100 litres, meaning you'll be able to bring anything and everything you want with you.

Though the fabric doesn't necessarily look the part, the suitcase's polyester construction is tough and durable, enough to survive the rough and tumble of the road. You won't have to worry about protecting the contents against various liquids during travel.

Sure, the shell is soft. Nevertheless, it is tough enough and as impact-resistant as they come.

Setting the fabric aside, the model's integrated three-digit TSA padlock will let you lock the trolley and the case together to add extra security. Meanwhile, the 360-degree wheels will ensure excellent manoeuvrability, making the 'case mobile yet stable and secure.

Inside, you'll find elastic packing belts on one side and one zip compartment on the other side. You can use these to hide ties, socks, underwear, socks, documents, even laptops and tablets.

Last but not least, the aforementioned telescopic handle will be able to accommodate all heights, so you won't have to slouch moving this 'case.

Slimbridge Extra Large Lightweight Luggage Bag is clean and relatively simple. Made from high-strength polyester, the suitcase is soft yet tough, tough enough to withstand the rigours that come with modern transportation solutions. Plus, the shell is tear- and impact-resistant, protecting the items inside from the elements and easy theft. The people behind this product haven't added any locks though, so we would not recommend leaving the suitcase unattended.

The four wheels that the 'case comes equipped will rotate 360 degrees, enabling excellent manoeuvrability and making sure that you're able to move the suitcase with ease.

From the organization standpoint, the product is not lacking at all. Inside, you'll find elastic packing belts and zip compartments where you can separate and secure items like ties, socks, and undergarments from laptops and such. On the outside, the suitcase features two pockets, one large enough to accommodate most tablets and some laptops and one fit to keep small items like documents and medications quickly and easily accessible.

In closing, setting aside the absent lock(s), Slimbridge Extra Large Lightweight Luggage Bag is good enough to compete with much more expensive lightweight suitcases despite the conservative price.
