The Best Hard Shell Luggage, Tested and Reviewed

"Getting a carry-on-only traveler to change their ways can be difficult, but not impossible: “I tend to travel with carry-on sized luggage so that I don’t have to check my bag, so this was a bigger piece than I’m used to,” says global director of audience development Lara Kramer. “But for a road trip or big international trip, this bag is perfect. It’s as durable as some of my favorite pieces and definitely one of the prettiest to look at.” Inside, there are two large main compartments, with one that fully zips closed, as well as three other zipper compartments of varying sizes, which Kramer says are perfect for packing smaller or more delicate items. $275 at Calpak"
