Finding the right suitcase can be difficult. If it\u2019s too small, you have to exclude your favorite sweater. If it\u2019s too large, it won\u2019t fit in an overhead bin. Finding the right one means balancing between size, material, durability and price. Luckily, we\u2019ve removed the guesswork. We tested several suitcases across styles and price points, from in-vogue brands like Away to the ever-reliable Samsonite.<\/p>

Best budget picks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not everyone needs top-of-the-line luggage. Whether you\u2019re an infrequent traveler or don\u2019t want to break the bank, there are still reliable, stylish options.<\/p>\n

\n

\"American<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n

American Tourister<\/strong> luggage is well-built, reliable and affordable. The Moonside Carry On was big enough for a bachelorette party, fitting everything from cowboy boots to multiple days of outfits. The wheels were impressive, gliding easily across all surfaces. Several colors and finishes are available, giving you a reliable piece of luggage that reflects your style at an ultra-reasonable price.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Amazon<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n

The Amazon Basics<\/strong> Hardside Carry-On is a no-frills, gimmick-free, scratch-resistant carry-on. There are half a dozen colors to choose from and multiple sizes if you need more room. If you\u2019re looking for the best value for a hardside carry-on suitcase, this is it.<\/p>\n

The fan favorites<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\n

\"Away\u00a0Bigger<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n

One of the top names in the luggage game right now is Away<\/strong> \u2014 and for good reason. Their \u201cBigger Carry-On\u201d is as well-built inside as it looks outside. With its built-in compression flap, solid handle and ultrasmooth 360-degree wheels, you can understand why Away is so popular.<\/p>

\n<\/div>\n

\n

\"B\u00e9is\u00a0Carry-On<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n

Another popular brand that\u2019s burst onto the scene is B\u00e9is<\/strong>. Its Carry-On Roller features a cushioned silicone handle, which was the most comfortable of all the suitcases we tested. There\u2019s also intention behind the design, with compression straps, a PVC pocket for liquids and a built-in weight indicator.<\/p>

Suitcases worth the splurge<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\n

\"Briggs<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n

Our favorite was from Briggs and Riley<\/strong>. The Sympatico Hardside suitcase is so reliable that it could be the last suitcase you need to buy. Considering it has more innovations than some tech products, from the expansion system to the large exterior phone pocket, the hefty price tag is a bit more understandable. One major thing to note: Briggs and Riley has a lifetime guarantee and will repair or replace any issue you have, no questions asked. If you\u2019re ready to buy the best suitcase you\u2019ll ever buy, the Sympatico is worth the splurge.<\/p>

\n<\/div>\n

The trusted name<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\n

\"Samsonite\u00a0Omni<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n

Samsonite<\/strong> is a trusted brand, and the Omni PC shows why. Fifteen clothing items, two jackets, multiple toiletry bags and a pair of shoes all fit with room to spare, and the bag can still fit in any overhead bin. The hard shell held up well and was hard to scratch, even when thrown around during travel. If you\u2019re looking for a name you know, a product that works extremely well and a price that makes you feel like you got a deal, the Samsonite Omni might be your move.<\/p>\n
