Hard Shell Havens:
These bad boys are built for battle!

-
PC (Polycarbonate): Need a high-performance shell? Look no further than PC. This super-strong and lightweight material offers outstanding impact and abrasion resistance. No matter the climate, PC handles the heat (and the cold)! Plus, its smooth surface makes cleaning a breeze.
-
PP (Polypropylene): Combining lightness with flexibility and durability, PP is another champion for travelers. It boasts excellent impact and abrasion resistance, making it a reliable companion for any journey. Just like PC, PP handles extreme temperatures with ease.
-
RPET: Eco-conscious travelers, rejoice! RPET is an eco-friendly option made from recycled plastic bottles.This lightweight and flexible material offers good durability and scratch resistance, all while minimizing your environmental impact.
Soft Shell Sensations:
Soft shells offer a different kind of travel experience. They're all about:
- Nylon: This lightweight and strong synthetic fiber is a popular pick for high-quality soft shell suitcases. It's incredibly resistant to abrasion and tears, making it perfect for heavy packers and frequent flyers. Plus,nylon is naturally water-resistant and stain-resistant, and comes in a variety of stylish options.
