Instead of zippers, these suitcases open via latches.

These bags have room to spare thanks to an “80-20” split case design, where one half is deeper. That makes it easier to pack large items like boots and jackets.

Powell says a four-wheel design is “a must” for every kind of bag. Armitage can vouch for how easy spinner wheels make getting around the airport—especially in crowded areas or tight spaces.
