1. Will I need to bring more luggage when traveling in autumn and winter? Seasonal points

Title

Traveling in autumn and winter tends to involve carrying more luggage than in other seasons.
This is not just your imagination, but is influenced by seasonal clothing, weather, and travel styles .

Here, let's take a closer look at why luggage increases in autumn and winter.

Bulky due to coats, boots, and thick clothing

The biggest factor when traveling in autumn and winter is the increased volume of clothing .
Down jackets, coats, knitwear, scarves, etc. are all thick, so
You will need about 1.5 to 2 times more storage space than in summer.

In addition, shoes such as boots and sneakers are also large in size,
It takes up a surprising amount of space in your luggage.
Therefore, even if a small size (around 40L) would normally suffice for the trip,
In autumn and winter, it is safe to choose one size larger, M (60-65L).

💡 Quick Tip:
Rather than using compression bags, it is better to use a suitcase with expandable features (e.g. New Trip 0201 ).
This helps prevent clothes from wrinkling while still preserving storage space.

Title

Souvenirs increase when traveling with family or returning home

As the end of the year approaches, the number of opportunities for family trips and homecomings increases.
It is common to have more luggage on the way back than on the way there , including souvenirs, gifts, and winter specialties.

Also, when traveling with children, there are many cold weather clothes, spare clothes, and other items.
Sometimes one suitcase just isn't enough.
In such cases, it is safer to choose an expandable M to L size model .

With the " New Trip FINO 0502 " series,
Simply open the zipper to increase capacity by approximately 20% (M: 65L → 78L / L: 100L → 120L).
This lightweight, versatile model is perfect for trips home or family trips.

2. Quick guide to recommended suitcase sizes by number of days traveled

1. Lightweight and quiet casters reduce the stress of moving

Autumn and winter are seasons when it's difficult to move around easily due to coats and boots.
