It didn’t take long. Three weeks after returning to the UK we were packing our bags and heading of to the airport again. No we weren’t heading back out into the unknown, but going on a ‘normal’ holiday, I think we earned it.
Going on a normal two week break means using normal luggage, assuming something doesn’t go terribly wrong we wouldn’t be needing to carry this bag across towns in search of a room or squeeze it on to an already jam packed mini-bus. For the first time in a long time we got to use suitcases.
We had a three pack of no fear suitcases delivered to us and my first thought on seeing them was just how much you get for your money. I remember being shocked years ago about the average price of a suitcase but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. Two good size suitcases that fit inside each with the smaller holding another case perfectly sized for hand luggage.
We opted to take the middle suitcase away with us and found it easily big enough for the two of us, even with half of it filled with scuba diving fins, mask etc. The four wheels make it very easy to wheel quickly around the smooth airport surfaces although it becomes a bit trickier on the not so smooth airport car parks. The case’s al have two handles and the option to pull on two wheels so we didn’t encounter any major problems getting it around.
With a few expensive items with us it was nice to feel safe knowing the case hard a hard shell preventing any damage to our luggage and the straps and zipped up divides inside kept everything in place. The cases come with a small padlock and rings on the zips to secure it but you might want to think about a slightly stronger looking padlock if you have more than a few t-shirts inside.
We found no problems with the suitcases during our holiday and Kirsty has since used the larger one of the three to pack for her time in London again with no complaints. They are by no means the best suitcase you could get hold of but the key thing about them is the value and when you’re only using them a few times a year at most what more do you want?
