Size
As with many other things in life, size matters. It is very common for people to either purchase luggage that is far too big (with a “just in case” mentality), or go too small because they are trying to save money. As a rule of thumb it’s better to opt for a little extra space rather than struggle trying to cram all your stuff into a bag that is too small. The best thing to do is take a minute to consider what you will be using the bag for and how much space you actually need. If you head to the slopes each and every year on a ski or snowboard trip you might want to invest in a big bag that you can fit all your winter gear into. If you just go on weekend breaks to the beach however, you might just need space for your sun cream, swimming costume and reef flip flops.

Features
There are so many optional features you can get with luggage these days than it’s enough to make your head spin. Automatic breaks that turn on if the luggage is a certain distance away from you, built-in thermostats and self-inflating floatation devises are just some of the things you can get in luggage now. Again the best advice is really just to think carefully about what you actually need, not what sounds impressive. Wheels are a very important feature to pay attention to though as a good pair can not only save you lots of energy, but as cheap wheels often break, good wheels can save you lots of money as well.

Quality
Quality varies considerably between brands and whilst some luggage might last 10 years, others won’t even survive one trip. Although quality items such as roxy backpacks and roxy luggage might seem more expensive than lower quality items initially, after a good few years of loyal service it will become clear that you actually save money by investing in decent gear.
