When it comes to Samsonite's luggage line, there are 3 models that are the most common: traditional wheeled suitcases (also known as carry-ons), backpacks and briefcases. We tell you a little bit about each of them.
Suitcase with wheels. Wheeled suitcases are suitable for carrying almost anyone, as you'll only need to drag it (unless you have to climb static stairs). For this reason, you can carry it to its maximum capacity without being affected. This is because the weight is not directly on you, so you only need to change hands if you feel any discomfort. Because of the use of durable materials, your luggage remains protected.
Backpack. A backpack is a great option for a Samsonite carry-on or for cases where you need to carry light to medium luggage. This will also help your back and shoulders not to suffer too much while holding it, as it will remain supported by it during your journey on foot.
On the plus side, your shoulders will receive equal weight distribution, which will prevent localised pain in one area due to excess weight. Depending on the material you choose, your belongings will remain protected.
Briefcase. The briefcase is ideal for carrying a light load, but that needs to be separated from the rest for immediate access or for greater protection, as in the case of personal documents or laptops, for example. You will need to hold it with your hands and shoulders, so it is not recommended for long journeys, unless it is a lightweight piece of luggage. Depending on the material used, it will be a good safeguard for your personal belongings, especially when it is internally padded.
