Hardside vs. Softside Luggage: Which Style Suits You?

Today, you've got the luxury of choice. You get to pick a suitcase that perfectly matches your personality and travel style. The first big decision: softside or hardside?

If you love a modern, structured look, you should definitely check out our hardside suitcases. They're built with tough shells designed to protect your most valuable belongings.

But maybe you're someone who loves tons of packing options, or you often try to add one last souvenir before heading home? If that's you, then softside suitcases are definitely more your thing. They’re incredibly practical, with lots of packing features and handy exterior pockets—perfect for stashing a little something from the gift shop, or just keeping your passport and a book within easy reach. Plus, the forgiving fabric lets you squeeze in that one last item.

Pack for the Trip: Find Your Perfect Suitcase Size

Getting the size right is a travel hack in itself.

• Cabin/Small: Grabbing a flight for a weekend in Edinburgh? Our small suitcases are compact, cabin-ready, and perfect for short city breaks.
• Medium: Off for a week of sun? Our medium suitcases are the ultimate all-rounders, giving you plenty of space without the heavy lifting.
• Large: Packing for the whole family (or just your shoe collection)? Our large suitcases offer maximum capacity for those epic two-week holidays.
• Sets: Can't decide? Our matching luggage sets have you covered for every eventuality.

Lightweight Suitcases: Travel Lighter, Pack More

Dreading the weigh-in at check-in? We've all been there. Our lightweight suitcases are designed to be super light before you even start packing. This means you can pack more of what you love (or bring back more souvenirs) without tipping the scales. Built with durable materials and smooth wheels, these cases are easy to carry through Heathrow and beyond.

Travelling with little ones becomes easier when they have a case of their own. Our kids suitcases are designed with fun prints and easy handling, making travel exciting for young explorers. No more "are we there yet?"... just "look at my suitcase!" Pair them with your own suitcase and make trips a family adventure.

FAQ: Your Questions Answered

How do I know what size suitcase to get (Cabin vs. Check-in)?

The best size depends on your trip. Small suitcases work well for weekends or city breaks, medium is ideal for around a week away, and large is the go-to for longer holidays or family travel. If you travel often, consider investing in a set so you have the right case for every occasion.

Is hardside or softside better?

Both have their benefits. Hardside offers a sleek shell with structured protection, while softside is flexible and often includes exterior pockets for quick access. Your choice will depend on whether you prefer solid protection or adaptable storage. Many travellers choose one of each to cover different trips.

How do I keep my suitcase within airline limits?

Airline size and weight limits vary, so always check before you travel. If weight is your main concern, explore our lightweight suitcase range. To maximise space, look for expandable models that give you flexibility when you need a little extra room.

How are our American Tourister suitcases measured?

We measure the three main dimensions: height, width, and depth. The height is measured from the floor all the way up to the top of the handle—and yes, that includes the wheels. The width is measured side-to-side at its widest point. And the depth is simply how 'deep' the suitcase is, from front to back.
