Soft Sided Luggage FAQs
Why choose soft-sided luggage for your upcoming trip? There are many reasons people prefer to travel with this style of bag. They include:
- Lightweight design: Because it doesn’t have a lot of plastic parts, soft-sided luggage tends to be a lightweight option. Even soft check-in bags tend to be light to carry. But that doesn't mean they're not durable. We use strong materials like nylon and polyester for suitcases that last.
- Flexibility: Soft-sided luggage doesn’t constrain you with plastic casing. Instead, it offers a lot of flexibility in terms of the type and size of items you can fit inside.
- Easy to store: Soft-sided luggage can be easily stored away in closets, basements, and wherever else you want. It easily folds into a compact shape for storage.
Another perk of soft carry-on bags and other soft-sided luggage is that they're easy to clean. You can spot-clean materials like nylon and polyester with warm water and mild soap.
We recommend referring to the care instructions for your specific bag to ensure proper maintenance.
Soft-sided luggage can be an excellent choice for carry-on bags, as they can easily squeeze into overhead compartments or under-seat storage. Before flying with your soft-sided carry-on bag, we recommend checking with the specific airline for their carry-on requirements. Information about carry-on sizing should be easy to find on their website.
Choosing between soft-sided luggage and hard-sided luggage is largely a matter of personal preference. Some prefer the flexibility of soft luggage bags, whereas others like the protection that hard-sided luggage has to offer.
If you’re trying to decide between soft-sided and hard-sided luggage, we recommend considering your intended use. If you’re planning on carrying delicate items for golf, hard-sided luggage or a golf travel bag may be a better choice. Soft-sided luggage may be the ideal option if you’re carrying clothes, shoes, and packing organizers.
