Solving the problem of choosing a suitcase! Size guide for women for 3 nights and 4 days

Choosing the best suitcase for a 4-day/3-night trip can be surprisingly difficult.

If it is too large, it will be difficult to carry, and if it is too small, it will not fit all of your luggage...

In this article, we will introduce in detail for women the key points for selecting a suitcase for a comfortable trip, from size to functions and popular brands.

 

What is the optimal suitcase size for a 4-day/3-night trip?

The amount of luggage needed for a 4-day/3-night trip will vary depending on the season and purpose of the trip.

It is important to select a size that will efficiently store your luggage while also being easy to carry. Here, we will explain in detail the optimal capacity and size for women, as well as whether or not they can carry-on luggage.

Recommended capacity and size for women

For a 4-day/3-night trip, we recommend a 40-50 liter suitcase. This size will provide space for clothes and toiletries as well as souvenirs. Specifically, the following luggage can be accommodated with room to spare.

• Clothing: 2 dresses, 4 tops, 2 bottoms, 1 woven item, 4 sets of underwear
• Amenities: Makeup pouch, hair care products, and a set of skin care products
• Other: Pajamas, sandals, daily bag, space for souvenirs

The outside dimensions are approximately 55 cm (H) x 35 cm (W) x 25 cm (D), which is an easy size to handle. This size can be easily carried by a single woman and will not cause inconvenience to others when traveling in an elevator or on a train.

Merits and demerits of carry-on suitcases

Choosing a carry-on suitcase has the advantage of eliminating the hassle of check-in and allowing you to begin your activities as soon as you arrive. The general carry-on limit for domestic flights is 115 cm or less in total of three dimensions and 10 kg or less in weight.

Advantages of carry-on suitcases:

• Saves time and hassle with check-in procedures
• Reduced risk of lost or damaged luggage
• No waiting time upon arrival and smooth travel

On the other hand, the disadvantage is the limited storage capacity, and since it must be stored in the upper compartment in the cabin, it may be a bit burdensome for women. However, a trip of about 4 days and 3 nights can be adequately handled by compacting the bag.

Types of suitcases and points to consider when choosing a suitcase

When choosing a suitcase, it is important to first select a "hard type" or a "soft type.

Each has its own characteristics, and the best choice will depend on your purpose and preferences. Material and design are also important for women.

Merits and demerits of hard type and soft type

Let's take a closer look at the features of both types.

Advantages of the hard type:

• High durability and protection of contents from shocks
• Excellent water resistance
• Stylish design

Disadvantages of hard type:

• Tends to be slightly heavier in weight
• Difficult to store flexibly
• Easy to show scratches and stains

On the other hand, the soft type has the following characteristics

Advantages of soft type:

• Lightweight and easy to carry
• Has an outside pocket to store items you need to quickly retrieve
• Flexible storage capacity

Disadvantages of soft type:

• Durability is inferior to that of hard type
• Relatively low water resistance
• Easy to lose shape

Materials and designs of suitcases popular among women

In suitcases for women, the emphasis is on a pretty appearance and ease of carrying.

Lightweight and durable materials such as polycarbonate and ABS resin are popular. Polycarbonate is especially popular among women because of its good balance of light weight and durability, as well as its design.

In terms of design, pastel and metallic colors, as well as patterns such as floral and stripes, are popular. Matte textured ones are also recommended in that they do not show scratches easily and can be used for a long time. Specifically:

• Soft pastel pinks, mints, lavenders, etc.COLORcolors such as pastel pink, mint, and lavender
• metallic colors such as gold and silver
• Marble, floral patterns, and other design features

These colors and designs are also designed to look good in photos when traveling and can be posted on social networking sites.

Suitcase Features that Make Traveling More Comfortable

Various functions are important for comfortable travel, such as ease of movement, ease of organizing luggage, and security. Here, we will explain in detail the features that are particularly noteworthy.

Casters and handles for easy mobility

Casters and handles are important elements that determine the mobility of a suitcase. Women, in particular, are recommended to pay particular attention to this area in selecting a suitcase.

There are two types of casters: four-wheel and two-wheel, but four-wheel casters are recommended for a trip of about four days and three nights. The reasons for this are as follows:

• 360-degree rotation makes it easy to change direction in tight spaces
• Weight is distributed so that even a woman can pull it easily.
• Smooth transportation on trains and at airports

As for the handle, choose a handle with attention to the following points:

• Multistep adjustability
• The grip should be easy to grasp.
• Must fit neatly when stored.

The ability to adjust the handle height according to the height of the user is especially important to reduce fatigue during long trips.

Convenient storage function for organizing luggage

Efficient luggage storage is important for a 4-day/3-night trip. Modern suitcases are equipped with the following convenient storage features

• Dividers with mesh pockets
• Compression belts
• Pocket for small items
• Pouch for storage

Particularly useful is the divider function that allows you to separate your luggage on the right side and left side when you open the suitcase. For example, you can organize your clothes on one side and underwear and toiletry items on the other.

Security features for added peace of mind

Security features are another important selection point to ensure the safety of your luggage while traveling. Modern suitcases are equipped with the following features

• TSA locks (essential when traveling to the U.S.)
• Dial locks
• Zipper lock
• Fingerprint authentication system (on high-end models)

In particular, the TSA lock is an essential feature for international flights. In addition, dial-type locks provide security since the PIN can be set freely.

Points to keep in mind when selecting a suitcase

In selecting a suitcase, special attention should be paid to the following points

1. Check the warranty period and coverage Warranty periods usually range from 1 to 5 years, and warranty coverage varies greatly depending on the manufacturer. Make sure to check the warranty coverage for parts that are prone to failure, such as casters and handles.
2. Check the actual weight The actual weight may differ from the weight listed in the catalog. It is especially important to check the actual weight if you plan to carry the bag on board.
3. Degree of after-sales service The after-sales service, such as the availability of repair services and the lending of substitute products for repairs, is also an important factor in selecting the right product. Especially if you plan to use the equipment for a long period of time, choose a brand with a well-developed service system.
4. Balance between frequency of use and budget If you plan to use the watch several times a year, we recommend choosing a slightly more expensive model with high durability. On the other hand, if you plan to use it only once a year, a mid-priced model will suffice.
5. Check the actual size measurement When purchasing online, it is especially important to carefully check both external and internal dimensions. Keep the following points in mind

• External dimensions: Does it meet the airline's regulations?
• Internal dimensions: Can the required baggage actually fit in the baggage compartment?
• Space for storage: Will it fit in your storage space at home?
