Buying soft luggage trolleys: The advantages of soft-shell suitcases
Anyone who has to choose between soft luggage and hard-shell often has a clear priority: weight. Soft luggage trolleys are generally lighter than hard-shell suitcases – a decisive advantage when airlines impose strict weight limits. The saved dead weight of the suitcase means more space for what you really want to take with you.
Flexible packing volume and practical outer pockets
Another plus of soft-shell trolleys is their flexible packing volume. Thanks to the yielding outer shell, even oddly shaped items can be easily stowed. Many models also feature outer pockets, which offer quick access to passports, boarding passes, or charging cables – without having to open the suitcase.
Materials: Polyester, Nylon or Recycled Fabric
Modern soft luggage trolleys are made from durable materials. Polyester is particularly tear-resistant and easy to care for. Nylon scores with its particularly low weight. Increasingly, recycled materials are also being used – a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious travelers. All models in our collection impress with robust workmanship and durable zippers.
Sizes: From cabin to XXL
Soft luggage trolleys are available in various sizes – from compact cabin trolleys for hand luggage to large XL suitcases for long journeys. As a guide: cabin size up to 55 cm, medium size 65–70 cm, large format from 75 cm. You can find suitable cabin luggage models in our category of the same name.
Frequently asked questions about soft luggage trolleys
What is a soft luggage trolley?
A soft luggage trolley (also known as a soft-shell suitcase) is a travel suitcase with a flexible outer shell made of textile material such as polyester or nylon. Compared to hard-shell suitcases, they are lighter and offer more packing flexibility.
Is soft luggage robust enough for checking in?
Yes. High-quality soft luggage trolleys made of tear-resistant polyester or nylon are very durable. However, for delicate contents, a hard-shell suitcase is recommended, as it offers better protection against bumps and pressure.
Is soft luggage lighter than hard-shell?
Generally, yes. Soft luggage trolleys are typically 300–600 g lighter than comparable hard-shell suitcases. This makes a noticeable difference with strict airline weight limits.
Can soft luggage trolleys be washed?
Most soft luggage trolleys can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Machine washing is generally not recommended. Stubborn stains can be treated with mild soap and a soft brush.
Which soft luggage trolley is suitable as hand luggage?
Soft luggage trolleys up to a maximum of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (depending on the airline) are suitable as hand luggage. Our cabin luggage category shows all models that comply with common airline dimensions.
