Aluminium suitcases from, for example, Tumi, Samsonite, and American Tourister are distinguished not only by their appearance. Tumi relies on a solid construction, American Tourister focuses on affordable prices for their broad customer base. Samsonite launched their first aluminium model some time ago and were able to draw on a lot of know-how from the ultra-light polycarbonate models. If you are not satisfied with a model after purchase, you can conveniently return it to us within 30 days - free of charge!

For frequent travellers with long stays a large suitcase is generally recommended. Depending on the climate zone, you should choose snap locks with rubber inner bands (rainforest, tropics) or a model with a zip. If you are travelling by train, weight plays a minor role.

Fly to your holiday destination or need to move the suitcases through rough terrain, not only weight but also the number of wheels determines the smooth running of your trip. Short trips can be perfectly managed with cabin luggage suitcases. These suitcases are suitable for a travel duration of 3 - 5 days cabin luggage suitcases made of aluminium are usually always allowed on board (varies by airline).

If you travel by trainairport factors play a minor role. Here, travel duration, weather, and destination also matter, but due to the spacious storage areas in long-distance trains and the short distances from car to train, you have more freedom in choosing your aluminium suitcase.

4. All aluminium suitcase brands at a glance

Tumi offers its customers an interesting selection of suitcases with special patterns, such as the striking wave pattern. Tumi products also impress with a solid construction, which makes the models a bit heavier. However, this hardly matters for business travellers and train travellers, as the suitcases are equipped with excellent wheels. Originally developed for the American market and its travellers, weight was not as important as in the European and Asian regions. In the USA, there is a theoretical weight limit of about 8 kilograms. In practice, however, this is not enforced. This is quite clearly evident from the "cabin luggage suitcases" at American airports. 

Samsonite launched the first aluminium models on the market a few months ago. The company took its time developing the cases and created a product designed to meet all demands. The result is a case that carries the typical Samsonite signature and incorporates many innovations in the field of aluminium cases. The interior of the case has been freed from classic packing boards and is equipped with two ziped compartments and straps. The cases are currently available in silver and black. 

Hartmann was founded in 1877 in the USA by a German luggage maker from Bavaria. Since then, Hartmann has achieved several major successes in luggage manufacturing. To this day, Hartmann relies on tradition and a lot of craftsmanship. The current flagship, the 7R Master, is made in over 250 work steps. Hartmann cases are especially characterized by interesting colours and leather accessories on their cases. 

American Tourister has long been known as a manufacturer of reliable and affordable cases. A-T remains true to this line with its aluminium cases as well. The aluminium cases are the most affordable models in the Kofferworld range. Nevertheless, the cases do not have to hide. Here too, the manufacturer has benefited from extensive experience in the field of Hard-shell Suitcases and has launched aluminium cases in silver and rose that are well thought out in terms of functionality and design. The interior, for example, does without packing boards or straps. Instead, pure ziped compartments have been used, which in turn provide small compartments for additional storage space.
