Measured, with conditions

Foam layer thickness

4mm

of closed-cell foam between the belt and your shell

Measured on the panel centre of the finished cover with a dial thickness gauge at 1 N contact force, five points averaged per sample, three samples.

Corner impact test

1.0m

drop height used in our lower-corner impact test

Free fall from 1.0 m onto a rigid steel plate, case loaded to 15 kg, impact on the lower shell corner, five repeats per sample, three samples, conducted at 23 °C.

Rated working load

1,200N

rated working load on the 50 mm strap webbing

Straight pull on a 50 mm webbing sample at 23 °C on a bench tensile rig, three samples, the lowest value of the three reported. Rated working load, not breaking load.

Where cases fail

Four zones

Four marked areas

Point at a marker to see what fails there, or select it to go straight to the item that covers it.

The part nobody sees

A checked case is handled six times before you see it again.

Between the desk and the carousel your case is dropped onto a belt, pushed down a chute, stacked under other cases, driven across an apron, and pulled off by hand. None of that is unusual and none of it is anybody's fault. It is simply what moving several thousand bags an hour looks like.

We do not sell you a way to stop that happening. We sell the layer that sits between your shell and all of it — and we describe that layer by what it is actually made of, not by what we would like you to assume it prevents.

Fit & Protect

Three questions, then a short answer.

Measure the case, say what it is made of, say what keeps going wrong. You get one item per problem you named, and nothing extra bolted on.

Start the matcher

  1. 01

    Measure it

    External height in centimetres or inches, or just pick 20, 24 or 28 from the list.

  2. 02

    Name the shell

    Polycarbonate, ABS, aluminium frame or fabric. An aluminium frame changes the answer.

  3. 03

    Say what fails

    Scuffs, wheels, handles, zips, breakage inside, or never finding it. Pick as many as apply.

How we describe things

A number without its conditions is not a specification.

We publish the conditions with the figure
Every measurement on this site — a foam thickness, a drop height, a rated load — is shown with the method, the load, the temperature and the sample count it came from. If we cannot state those, the figure does not appear.
We describe construction, not outcomes
A padded cover adds a 4 mm closed-cell layer between the belt and your shell. That is a fact about the product. What happens to your case on a given day is not, so we do not write it as though it were.
We do not quote industry damage statistics
Numbers about how often luggage gets damaged circulate widely and are almost never traceable to a method. We leave them out rather than repeat them.
Locks here are closures, not security
A lock stops a zipper drifting open and stops casual handling. Screeners in many countries can open checked baggage, including locked baggage. Valuables should not be checked at all.
Read the protection notice

Protective accessories reduce the chance of surface damage. They do not prevent all damage, and they do not affect any airline's liability. All prices are in US Dollars (USD).
