ラゲッジはハードシェル、それともソフトシェル? 快適なバッグ選びのヒント

ハードシェルのスーツケースとソフトシェルのスーツケースの違いは? 知っておくべき知識をすべてお伝えします。簡単に説明するとこうなります。ハードケースは持ち物を完全に保護し、整然と整理収納し、お手入れも簡単です。容量を拡張できるモデルもあります。ソフトケースは頑丈で、アクセスしやすいサイドポケットがあり、長持ちする素材でつくられています。また、出発直前にちょっとした荷物を追加でパッキングするのも簡単です。

詳細をご覧になり、次の点も考慮してください。キャリーオンにはソフトケースで受託手荷物にはハードケース、あるいはその逆など、必要に応じて組み合わせることも可能です。

ハードサイド ラゲッジの長所

持ち物を安全に保護
ハードシェルのスーツケースは、壊れやすいものやデリケートな電子機器を保護したい場合に優れたオプションです。

持ち物を悪天候から守る
外側が頑丈で、雨や雪、水たまりで大切な持ち物が濡れないように守り、パッキングした時と同じ状態で荷物を目的地まで運べます。

お手入れが簡単
スーツケースをぬかるみの中で引いても心配はいりません。最新の傷防止テクノロジーにより、通常の汚れは濡れた布で拭くだけできれいになります。

ソフトサイド ラゲッジの長所

丈夫でありながら柔軟
ソフトシェルラゲッジは、摩耗やダメージに高い耐性があります。素材は丈夫でありながら柔軟性があるので、出発直前にいくつかの持ち物を追加で収納することができます。

出し入れが簡単
ソフトな素材なので、サイドポケットへもメインケースへも簡単に手を出し入れできます。バッグのジッパーを開けるだけで、必要な物が取り出せます。

フレキシブル
エッジがフレキシブルなソフトサイド ラゲッジは車の中で積み重ねやすいので、ドライブ旅行や収納場所が狭い場合に向いています。

What to consider for business or vacation

Business

Practical luggage
Keep your things organized and easy to access. Compartments, side pockets and quick-zip openings save time. Some carry-on cases have USB ports, so you always have a place to charge things.

Peace of mind
Knowing your valuable electronics and gadgets are safely tucked in a robust bag helps you relax. Suits, shirts and dresses are protected from the elements and come out less wrinkled. Side compartments for laptops get you through security quicker.

Ergonomic and maneuverable
Four wheels get into small spaces and are easier to turn around in a crowd. A high-quality telescopic handle and lightweight bags are much kinder to your body

Vacation

Space and flexibility
Expandable hard cases give you room for extra sweaters or purchases. Outside pockets are great for things to grab along the way: small toys for your kids; everyone’s tickets and passports.

Extra strong and durable
A long stopover or trip isn’t just hard on you. A tough suitcase gets everything there and back in one piece.

​​​​​​​Easy to clean
Dirt and stains can build up after many long trips. Look for materials that are easy to care for. This will keep your luggage looking good for a long time.
