About a decade ago, I purchased my first \u201creal\u201d luggage for weekend trips and school breaks. I did approximately zero research before impulsively picking out a cheap, hardside checked bag and matching carry-on suitcase<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t wait to use them. Finally, I could shed my ratty backpack and walk confidently through the airport, roller wheels gliding behind me.<\/p>\n

Then, tragedy struck.<\/p>\n

The very next trip I went on after picking out my luggage, one of the wheels broke off the checked bag when I tried to yank it over the curb outside of the terminal. I was devastated.<\/p>\n

Since that day, I\u2019ve used, tested, broken and otherwise beat the heck out of a veritable collection of trendy, timeless, and terrible luggage.<\/p>\n

Some have been winners, and some have been disasters, but all of them contributed to teaching me exactly what to look out for when parsing out the best baggage from the worst. I ran the gamut so that you didn\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m passing on what I\u2019ve learned to help you avoid dragging a lopsided piece of luggage through the airport as I did ten years ago.<\/p>\n

From simple to sophisticated, here are my top picks for the best checked luggage.<\/p>\n
