Don't regret buying a cheap suitcase! 5 tips for choosing a suitcase under 10,000 yen and 3 carefully selected recommendations

Title

" I want a suitcase, but I want to keep the budget down ," or " I'm worried that if I buy a suitcase that's too cheap, it will break easily... " Do you have these kinds of worries?

I'm sure there are many people who have the same concerns.

In fact, thanks to advances in materials and the spread of direct sales from manufacturers, it is now possible to find a "surprisingly high-quality, long-lasting model" even with a budget of less than 10,000 yen.

This time, New Trip, which is always ranked highly on Amazon and other sites, will explain from a professional perspective the ``points to look out for'' that you should not compromise on even when buying a cheaper model.

In addition, we will introduce three carefully selected models that are particularly recommended and can be purchased for under 10,000 yen.

一、失敗しないためのチェックポイント

Even if your budget is under 10,000 yen, by checking a few points wisely, you can find a good suitcase that you can use for years to come.

Before giving up and thinking, "It's cheap, so it can't be helped," check to see if the following points are met.

1.素材：軽さと強さを両立する「PC＋ABS」

The material of the suitcase's surface (body) is directly related to its durability.

The most recommended material in the under 10,000 yen class is a blend of PC (polycarbonate) and ABS resin.

  • ABS resin: It is hard and has a strong shape, but has the weakness of being easily broken by strong impact.
  • Polycarbonate: Extremely flexible, it "flexes" when subjected to impact, dissipating the force and preventing cracking.

This blend of the two materials is both light enough to be carried with one finger and sturdy enough to withstand rough handling.

The reason we stick to this mixed material even in New Trip's lower-priced models is because we want you to use it for a long time.

2.キャスター：ダブルキャスター＆「厚めゴム」の安心感

The suspension is what most affects the comfort of the vehicle.

Even if it costs less than 10,000 yen, double casters (8 wheels in total) with two wheels on each of the four legs are a must.

Another thing to pay attention to is the material of the wheels. New Trip models such as the "0201" and "0701Plus" use "thick rubber casters."

Compared to ordinary plastic casters, these casters absorb much more of the impact from the ground, making the rolling noise quieter and reducing hand fatigue even on bumpy roads, which is a major advantage.

3.ファスナー： 壊れにくい「YKK」が使われているか

The most annoying thing when traveling is when your zipper won't close.

Models that use the globally trusted YKK zipper can be opened and closed smoothly even when packed to the brim, giving you a different sense of security.

4.キャリーハンドル：ぐらつきにくいかチェック

The wobbly handle makes it stressful to carry.

Many of the more expensive models have a tendency to wobble significantly when the handle is extended.

Choose one with a handle that extends and retracts smoothly and with minimal wobble.

A multi-level model that allows you to adjust the height to suit your height will make it more comfortable to carry.

5.メーカー：安心のブランドを選ぶ

It is wise to choose a manufacturer that has an official website and offers a solid product warranty , rather than a cheap, no-name brand. Brands with solid quality control and after-sales service will give you peace of mind in the event of an emergency. They will also respond smoothly in the event of a product defect, allowing you to use it for a long time with peace of mind.
