You've finally made it to your destination after a long international flight. As you stand at the baggage claim area, staring at a sea of black bags whizzing around, your eyes finally fall on a bag that stands out from the rest—not because it has different colors, but because of the way it was designed and manufactured and the ease with which the person pulling it off the front of the carousel was using it. This is what a certain type of Travel Companion provides: a large bag that is specifically made for long-term traveling and is designed to be very functional and user-friendly. For the adventurer who is going away for several weeks for business or study abroad or for those who are taking an extended vacation or trip (for example, a backpacking trip), selecting a Travel Companion is an important consideration; that decision will affect how comfortable you are, how organized your things will be and how stressed you will feel while traveling and after returning home. The 28-inch size strikes a balance between allowing you to pack as much as possible while staying within the linear inches requirements imposed by most major international and domestic airlines for checked baggage. However, simply having enough capacity does not tell the whole story about the quality of a suitcase; the true test of quality is seen in how a suitcase is designed and how it organizes your stuff, how it moves through your world, and how it will protect the items you place inside it. This article details the best features of this type of bag and why it is an essential item for the extended traveler.The dimensions of the suitcase concept are more than enough to accommodate wardrobe changes, specialized gear, souvenirs, and all the other items you would need for a trip that lasts weeks, months or even longer. A proper suitcase should be used to temporarily relocate items without the feeling of permanent shipping boxes.
However, a large suitcase with such a large interior has the potential to become chaotic in no time. One of the key benefits of having multiple compartment designs is the opportunity to keep your items organized and orderly. Many modernhigh-quality suitcase designs include the clamshell style opening with two very deep halves, each of which may include either compression straps or zippered panels to keep everything securely in place and avoid shifting; however, the true value of these suitcase styles is the number of dedicated compartments: many include at least one mesh pocket to put your travel documents or dirty clothes in, at least one zippered shoe or toiletries pouch, and at least one flat pocket for delicate items. This greater number of compartments allows you to pack items in a logical, organized manner rather than as a Tetris game and to be able to separate out and access each category of item without having to remove everything from the suitcase and to maintain organization along the route. If you take an extended trip, this organization is crucial to maintaining your sanity during that time.
Engineering Effortless Navigation: Wheel Systems and Telekinesis Handles
The ability to "effortlessly navigate through an airport" depends on the quality of the wheels and telescopic handle of the suitcase you are using. Long distances in an airport, such as from check-in to your gate, are a marathon, requiring you to make frequent stops along the long concourses to check for your flight information and to wait for crowds of people to pass through the terminal and to travel over a mixed bag of pavement, tile and carpeting before you arrive at your gate. A suitcase with inferior wheels can become an attempted anchor, and it can place undue stress on the arm and shoulder of its owner before they can even board the airplane.
The benchmark for modern-day luggage mobility is the multi-spinner wheel system.It is now standard practice to use double or even eight wheel designs in all premium luggage. These are made of superior quality high-grade durable polyurethane and will now roll smoothly on various surfaces; tile, carpet and roadways. The ability to roll a suitcase 360 degrees allows for easy navigation. For example, a traveler can now roll a suitcase sideways down an airplane aisle; easily pivot around corners; and now pull the suitcase beside themselves with a light pull instead of a heavy tilt and drag motion. This type of technology has changed how luggage is moved by reducing physical strain.

The second feature of the suitcase is the telescoping handle. The handle should be adjustable to fit multiple heights of travelers, lock securely, and not wobble when locked. The handle should also retract flat against the suitcase body. The handle is your primary connection and control point of the suitcase and with the proper ergonomic grip the suitcase will roll smoothly and easily and you will only need one hand to guide the suitcase while keeping the other hand free to hold a passport, coffee or phone.

Durability and Security is an Investment When Traveling
The travelling suitcase will be used as a centre for your travel, and must be able to weather the rigors of being stored globally. The suitcase will10 be loaded and unloaded repeatedly, thrown across conveyor belts, and stacked in cargo holds, so the construction materials that are used in the manufacturing of the suitcase are critically important. Many of the superior quality manufacturers utilize a hard side material for their manufacturing i.e. polycarbonate or alum/magnesium.Our product is made out of polycarbonate, which provides a perfect combination of strength, flexibility and light weight construction. This material absorbs impacts and returns to its original shape to resist cracking and denting.

The protection of the valuable contents in your suitcase is the most important feature of all. Having an integrated locking mechanism is essential in protecting your valuables within your suitcase, as well as having a combination lock approved by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). This allows security personnel to inspect your luggage without damaging the lock or zipper, providing you with confidence that your belongings are protected during check-in and while in a hotel room. The zippers themselves are another way of enhancing the durability of suitcases. Self-repairing coil zippers and large-tooth zippers manufactured from heavy-duty materials will not jam or break because of pressure or forces caused by overpacking.

Attention to detail such as the design of corners, seams and hardware define the expected longevity of the suitcase. Reinforced corners will protect against the most susceptible points of impact, while the use of quality stitching and bonded seams ensure that the exterior shell and liner will stay together. Smooth-rolling wheels mounted on recessed axles will prevent wheels from breaking when the suitcase is overloaded with excessive weight. Thus, when both durability and security are built into a suitcase, it is designed for more than a single trip. It is designed for years and years of worldwide travels.

In addition to the core features, there are many other user-friendly design elements that have been carefully incorporated into the overall travel experience. The interior lining of the suitcase should be made from durable and easy to clean materials, typically with anti-microbial treatment. If a good design utilizes an expansion zipper, it provides an additional inch or two to the capacity of the suitcase for any items that you may purchase on your trip back home.

In addition to good design features on the inside of the suitcase, there are also many practical features on the exterior of the suitcase that greatly enhance user convenience. An integrated USB charging port is built into the suitcase and connects to a removable power bank located inside the suitcase to provide a means for charging devices while you are traveling. Also included in the suitcase are laundry bags or shoe bags that assist in the organization of packing. The exterior of the suitcase may be constructed with a durable and scratch-resistant material with a unique pattern or color trim that makes identifying it on the baggage carousel easier than retrieving a plain black suitcase.

A high-quality 28 inch suitcase has been designed to meet all of the aspects mentioned above. However, it does not simply hold your belongings; rather, it provides a means of reducing travel anxiety, conserving physical energy, and providing an organized way to travel. For people who travel for extended periods of time, a suitcase is a mobile base camp for making travel easier and helping them to focus more on their travels and the experiences of visiting new cultures, conducting business, and enjoying the spectacular vistas, rather than worrying about all of the logistics associated with carrying luggage.
