Travel Bags With Wheels

Typical features and benefits

The biggest advantage of travel bags with wheels is their easy handling. With the help of an adjustable telescopic handle and smooth-running wheels, they can be pulled easily behind you. In front of barriers such as stairs or kerbstones, you can lift your bag with the additional (fabric) carrying handle. Besides the pull-out handle with fixing button and top carrying handle, larger models also have a handle on the side. A carrying handle on the front is typical for an outdoor travel bag. Many models trump with a handle on the bottom, which is placed between the wheels or in the middle. Some wheeled travel bags do not have a telescopic handle, they have a luggage strap. In most cases, this can be found on an outdoor travel bag. Fabric travel bags often use a completely retractable telescopic handle with a zipper cover.

Two wheels are common for the most travel bags: they are usually embedded in the bottom, which gives the bag more stability. There are also models with three or four wheels. A travel bag with four wheels offers a crucial advantage – it can not only be pulled, but also pushed aside and turned around faster. Travel bags are equipped with either hard plastic or soft rubber wheels. The latter are low-noise and run better on slippery surfaces. A travel bag with 4 wheels usually has rubber rolls: they guarantee excellent maneuverability. A travel bag on four wheels also does not tip over so easily because the weight is equally distributed over the four support points. Another positive aspect of wheeled cabin luggage is its relatively low price. Wheeled travel bags usually cost less than comparable hardside luggage, but impress with lots of useful features.

Comfort and security features

In addition to established attributes such as an address tag, laundry compartment, packing straps, outside pockets and compression straps, many travel bags with wheels offer additional features for even more comfort. A travel bag with wheels for outdoor use usually comes with reflective inserts and stowable backpack straps. The retractable backpack straps are not only typical for a wheeled duffle, but also larger travel bags. A travel bag with wheels and backpack function is not only suitable for outdoor trips, but also for trips with multiple changes or with several transport methods. An alternative is a travel bag with wheels and a removable daypack. This can be easily attached and detached via a circumferential zipper and press-studs. A wheeled duffle with daisy chains or elastic lacing on the front is also practical – you can attach clothes and equipment to it. Textile travel bags with an integrated stretch pleat are a classic option for situational volume expansion. Outdoor versions often close with a two-way zipper. If it has extra eyelets, it can be secured with a separate padlock. Travel bags with a TSA lock make things even easier: they can be opened and closed again by the airport security staff – with a master key and without damage! Whether an outdoor travel bag or a classic leather model, many versions have a scan-proof RFID pocket and an integrated ID code for digital luggage tracking.

Particularly robust travel bags with wheels trump with a corner, back and bottom reinforcements made of stable plastic. The bottom of most models has built-in feet. Some travel bags with wheels have plastic feet on the back so that you can put them down if you want to take something out on the go. A foldable travel bag with wheels usually has no feet. Its benefit: this model does not need much storage space, because it can be rolled up and kept compact. This is advantageous not only at home but also in a hotel room. To prevent a foldable travel bag with wheels from rolling apart, it is secured by carrying straps.
