You need to fully open the case to retrieve an item, which is especially difficult when space is limited, like on board a plane/train

The retractable handle can be a bit stiff to extend and retract, and it doesn’t come out as far as other suitcases we’ve tried in the past. Made from lightweight polypropylene, it will protect your belongings whether you’re travelling short or long haul without helping you to go over your weight allowance. I love the price point of Tripp suitcases. They provide the necessities in luggage; strong, ultra-lightweight bags for a great price.This isn’t necessarily a bad thing; a bit of give in the shell actually means the case is less likely to be damaged when it bumps into things or is thrown around by baggage handlers. TRIPP is one of the most popular luggage brands in the UK and they are known for their budget-friendly suitcases. Cabin: measures 55 x 40 x 20cm, has a 37L capacity, and weighs 2.7kg. This size is suitable as carry-on luggage for British Airways (and most international airlines), EasyJet Up Front and Ryanair Priority. The three-digit combination works by securing the zippers into place. The Tripp range comes with a handy guide to creating your bespoke code, ensuring peace of mind from any unauthorised access when your bag is out of sight.

The plastic, rather than fabric, exterior means it is splash resistant should you be caught in an unexpected rainstorm or need to wheel your bag through a puddle. It’s worth noting that water can penetrate through the reinforced single zip so the case is not entirely waterproof. What makes the design so distinctive is the instantly recognisable pattern on the front - squares with rounded corners, arranged in a four by six pattern - which is the same regardless of the size and colour of the case.We tested the style in a large, which is ideal for family holidays where you’re all sharing a case, or for long haul breaks where you need to bring a bit more along. It looks stylish too; and, unless everyone else buys a Tripp suitcase after reading this, they’re pretty easy to spot at an airport.
