Hardside luggage is my favorite kind of luggage. That’s because unlike its soft counterpart, it makes packing a sure thing. You can stuff and cram but with hardside, I’ve rarely gone over the weight limit, and better yet, I’m always sure my bag will fit in the overhead bin. Beyond protecting your belongings better, I just think hardside is the way to go. If you’re looking to upgrade your luggage, we’ve rounded up some of the best hardside pieces out there.
