Why Hard Shell Cabin Luggage Outlasts Everything Else
A hard shell cabin case earns its place by doing the one thing a soft bag can’t: holding its shape no matter what gets stacked on top of it in the overhead bin. Lugg’s polycarbonate cabin luggage flexes slightly under pressure rather than cracking, which means it absorbs knocks from the inside of the locker rather than showing them. The Solo Explorer option with aluminium gives it an extra elegance that can’t be imitated. Finally, ABS models are the more affordable hard cabin luggage option, slightly stiffer but just as capable of protecting what’s inside across repeated trips.
Every hard shell carry on suitcase in this range comes fitted with a TSA-approved combination lock, four smooth 360° spinner wheels and a telescopic handle that locks at multiple heights. The small hard shell suitcase options sit at 45 x 33 x 20cm, cleared for easyJet, Emirates and priority boarding on Ryanair and Wizz Air. Step up to the full cabin size hard shell suitcase and you’re cleared for British Airways, Jet2, TUI and the larger overhead allowances across most major carriers.
Hard case carry on luggage at Lugg starts from under £25, which makes it one of the most affordable ways to travel without checking bags in. Browse our full cabin luggage range or check the sizing details in the FAQs below before you fly.
