Solo Explorer Aluminium Frame Suitcases

Solo Explorer is built around a detail most suitcases overlook: the zip. A zip-less aluminium frame closure means there’s no zipper to force, no pull tab to break and no single weak point for someone to exploit at the carousel. Combined with dual TSA-approved locks, it’s the most secure hard shell suitcase in the Lugg range by some distance.

The polycarbonate shell reinforced with an aluminium frame keeps the case rigid and structured across repeated trips, while a protective cover ships with every piece to guard against dust and scuffs in transit. Inside, dual compartments with zipped dividers and compression straps on both sides keep everything organised on the way there and intact on the way back. The 24 inch medium holds 66 litres, enough for a week away with room to spare. The 28 inch large opens up to 106 litres for longer trips.

Black and Gold run across all three sizes. Grey and Metallic Silver are available in select sizes, subject to availability. Space Grey is available in the 24 inch medium. The 20 inch Solo Explorer Black is a bestseller, as are the 24 inch in Black and Gold. Browse by size using the cabin luggage or suitcase collections to find the right fit.

Solo Explorer Range - Frequently Asked Questions

What is Solo Explorer?

Solo Explorer is Lugg’s premium aluminium frame suitcase range, available in 20 inch cabin, 24 inch medium and 28 inch large. It’s built around a zip-less closure with dual TSA-approved locks, a polycarbonate shell reinforced with an aluminium frame and a fully organised interior with dual compartments, zipped dividers and compression straps. Every piece comes with a protective cover and warranty protection as standard.

What makes Solo Explorer different from other Lugg ranges?

Three things set Solo Explorer apart. First, the zip-less aluminium frame closure, there’s no zipper to break or force, making it more secure than any zippered case. Second, dual TSA locks rather than a single lock. Third, the combined aluminium and polycarbonate construction, which is more rigid and refined than ABS or polycarbonate alone. It’s the most premium build in the Lugg range.

What colours does Solo Explorer come in?

Solo Explorer is available in Black, Gold, Grey, Space Grey and Metallic Silver. Black and Gold run across all three sizes. Space Grey is available in the 24 inch medium. Grey and Metallic Silver are available in select sizes, subject to availability. Check individual product pages for current stock.

What are the Solo Explorer dimensions and capacity?

The 20 inch cabin suitcase measures 55 x 38 x 22cm, suitable for easyJet Plus and standard cabin allowances on British Airways, Jet2 and most full-service carriers. The 24 inch medium measures 63 x 44 x 26cm with a 66 litre interior. The 28 inch large measures 75 x 52 x 31cm with a 106 litre interior. All three sizes go in the hold except the 20 inch, which is sized for cabin travel.

Is Solo Explorer worth choosing over Air Glide?

Different ranges for different priorities. Air Glide is polycarbonate only, lighter and with a detachable interior designed for easy unpacking. Solo Explorer is heavier but more secure, the zip-less closure and dual TSA locks make it the better choice for frequent international travel where security matters. If you prioritise organisation on arrival, Air Glide. If you prioritise security throughout the journey, Solo Explorer.
