The suitcase on wheels - history in a nutshell
The history of suitcases dates back to ancient times. Already the Egyptian pharaohs used cases and boxes for valuables when travelling. The ancient Greeks and Romans also used travel bags and sacks. In subsequent eras, travel trunks - massive, usually wooden boxes - became more and more popular. When was the wheeled suitcase invented? It was made by Bernard D. Sadow, later president of the United States Luggage Corporation. During a family trip from Aruba, the American entrepreneur was so annoyed by hauling heavy suitcases that he decided to equip them with wheels. In 1972, Sadow was granted a patent for the so-called Rolling Luggage or luggage on wheels. Since then, the suitcases as we commonly know them have undergone a huge transformation. What makes them different today, we answer below.
What features does a comfortable travel suitcase have?
When choosing the ideal luggage, it is worth paying attention to a few key features that will make travelling even more enjoyable and comfortable.
The ideal travel suitcase should be:
- roomy - the best suitcases are those of optimum weight and size. A comfortable travel suitcase must therefore be spacious enough to accommodate all your essentials
- lightweight - a wheeled travel case should not be too heavy. A lightweight design will make your luggage easier to carry and minimise the risk of exceeding the weight limit at the airport. We have written more about how to weigh your suitcase on our blog
- secure - a lock with an anti-theft lock will ensure that your travel case is secure
- made of durable materials - some of the most durable materials for travel cases include polycarbonate and polycarbonate. We have also covered the question of which suitcases are the most durable in our advice blog
- fitted with ball-bearing wheels - good travel suitcases usually have two or four swivel castors with high durability and abrasion resistance. Which suitcase is better: on 2 or 4 wheels? A two-wheel model can only be dragged behind you. A suitcase on four wheels, on the other hand, can be pulled or conveniently guided, either in front of you or beside you.
- fitted with a handle and/or telescopic handle - the best suitcases have a side handle, allowing you to carry your luggage in your hand, and a two-stage telescopic handle, making it easy to adjust the height of your luggage to your height.
WINGS is a Polish manufacturer of wheeled suitcases. The wings24.pl range includes suitcases equipped with two or four swivel castors, making it easy to manoeuvre and carry your luggage. The range, available in many design and colour lines composed of materials resistant to shock, impact, soaking, discolouration and the passage of time, can travel thousands of kilometres. It is the key to luxury travel. Find out what makes it so special.
WINGS travel cases - which material to choose?
In order to ensure the comfort of travel and the personal taste of our customers, WINGS suitcases are made of both hard and soft materials. Among these, the touring suitcases with hard shells made of polycarbonate, polypropylene or ABS+ are extremely popular.
Suitcases made from top-quality hard materials
Polycarbonate, also known as polycarbonate, perfectly protects the interior of the suitcase, preventing it from cracking under particularly heavy pressure. As a result, WINGS cabin suitcases made of polycarbonate are resistant to high pressure. Hard shell models also include large, medium or cabin suitcases made from ABS plastic, a combination of Acrylonitrile, Butadiene and Styrene. Our customers value abs roller suitcases above all for their low weight, resistance to water and impact, and ease of cleaning. In addition, abs plastic suitcases are resistant to wear and tear caused by the effects of time.
The wings24.pl assortment also includes hard suitcases made of polypropylene. Like ABS+ or polycarbonate models, polypropylene suitcases are resistant to breakage, moisture and UV rays. Among the suitcases in this category, the wings sparrow medium suitcase - polypropylene 24 in particular has won the trust of travel enthusiasts. This model guarantees the reliability, safety and durability of the luggage carried.
WINGS suitcases - hard or soft?
WINGS suitcases made of soft materials are a separate product segment.These include single models as well as suitcase sets with cases made of Codura 1200 D, Polyester 250 D and nylon.The best soft suitcases in the wings24 shop are Suitcases in Codura 1200D - the most durable material for the production of travel ranges on the market.Suitcases made from Codura 1200D are trusted by travellers for their resistance to tears, rips and mechanical damage.They are in no danger of becoming damp or faded by intense sunlight.Codura suitcases provide good protection for the inside of the luggage.They are often equipped with side pockets to increase their capacity.
Lightweight cases made from nylon and 250D polyester
For those looking for a lightweight suitcase, we recommend suitcases made of nylon.Lighter than a travel bag made of leather or plastic, a nylon suitcase will be particularly suitable for restrictive luggage weight restrictions. An alternative to the nylon model may be a suitcase made from Polyester 250 D - a soft, durable and tear-resistant material. We address the question of which suitcase material to choose in detail on our blog.
WINGS suitcase sizes
Depending on the length and nature of your trip, different sized suitcases will work for you when travelling.This is why wings24.pl offers tailor-made suitcases for your individual needs. Among these, the sleek cabin suitcases are considered to be the smallest, in sizes that make it easy to get around the airport and transfer to your hotel or home.WINGS flight suitcases are 18- and 20-inch models with a capacity of 30-40 litres, which can easily fit in the hold of popular airlines' aircraft.
Mid-size suitcases for solo trips or trips with loved ones
A medium-sized suitcase is the optimum luggage for one person and is suitable both for travelling with the family and for solo trips.For business trips, we particularly recommend the medium-sized suitcase with trunk. The main luggage compartment provides safe and secure storage for clothing, while the trunk holds cosmetics or small electronic items.In addition, for those who prefer lightweight luggage, the medium sized suitcase with 4 wheels with 360° rotation is ideal.The medium suitcase usually measures no more than 24 inches and has a capacity of 50 to 80 litres.
The largest suitcases at wings24.pl
We also look after lovers of longer journeys. With them in mind, we offer large WINGS suitcases, ideal for holidays of several weeks or several months or family trips.What dimensions does a large suitcase have?The answer to this question depends, among other things, on the specific model.In the wings24.pl shop in the "Large suitcases" category, you will usually find 28' models.A 28' suitcase has plenty of advantages: it can fit up to 90l of luggage. A soft or hard suitcase in size L is the optimal choice for a longer holiday.
Which suitcase is right for the family?
For families, we recommend suitcase sets with two, three, four or even five pieces. A set of WINGS suitcases is always more reasonably priced than individual pieces. Suitcases in the same style line will also guarantee a consistent design for your travel assortment.They are easier to spot at the baggage claim desk at the airport.If required, the suitcases can be distributed among individual family members.A set of suitcases also has the advantage of saving space at home: simply put a medium suitcase in the large suitcase and a cabin suitcase in the medium suitcase.
Suitcases for the youngest
