CHOICE Expert Rating View more details.

The CHOICE Expert Rating, our overall score, is made up of test results for performance (60%) and ease of use (40%). Weightings are in brackets.

Performance score View more details.

We conduct technical tests to assess each suitcase's performance. The performance score for carry-on suitcases is weighted differently to check-in suitcases. For check-in suitcases, the score is made up of the lift-and-drop test (60%), stability test (20%), rain test (10%) and puncture test (10%). For carry-on suitcases, the weightings are 30% for both rain and lift-and-drop tests, 20% for stability and 20% for puncture.

Ease of use score View more details.

Ease of use is assessed by three triallists (including our expert tester). They score each suitcase on aspects like balance and manoeuvrability. They also wheel the cases (with a 5kg load for carry-on and 15kg load for check-in) over a range of surfaces including grass, carpet, stairs, asphalt and footpaths.

Stability test score View more details.

Our testers pack carry-on cases with 4kg of clothing and check-in cases with 15kg clothing and place them on a tilting platform. The higher the score, the more stable the suitcase.

Puncture test score View more details.

A heavy pointed cylinder is dropped onto the suitcase surface. The higher the score, the less visible damage.

Rain test score View more details.

We see how much water gets into the suitcases. The higher the score, the less likely rain will get into your case.

Lift-and-drop test score View more details.

Carry-on suitcases are loaded with 4kg of clothing and check-in suitcases are packed with 15kg of clothing. We then subject our suitcases to 300 rounds of our lift-and-drop test, then grade the damage. Suitcases with no damage receive 100%. Those with substantial damage are heavily penalised (for example, a missing wheel and major cracks decreases the score by 50 percentage points).
