Hard Shell Luggage

Get Stylish Hard-Shell Luggage Built to Withstand Careless TSA Handlers and Constant Wear and Tear at Nobl Travel! Soft shell luggage might feel flexible - but that flexibility turns into liability when it’s tossed on conveyor belts or left out in the rain. Fabric bags rip, collapse under pressure, and offer little protection for what’s inside. You need hard-shell luggage to truly travel with peace of mind. It offers far better security, structure, and durability without sacrificing style. Not all hard-shell suitcases are created equal, though.

Perfect space for quick trip carry ons & SO STYLISH!!” - Darcy “I work out of other countries 90% of the time and live out of what I can pack. These fit the size requirement of airlines and provide plenty of room. I also use the aluminum carry-on luggage. One of the main features I like is how secure the aluminum style is - perfect for digital nomad lifestyle.” - Ben “What’s not to say about this suitcase! Extremely durable, smooth as glass, stylish, and eye catching. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Thank you Nobl for making such amazing products.” - Alex  Frequently Asked Questions Is Hard Shell Better for Luggage? Yes. Hard-shell luggage offers better protection against drops, pressure, and moisture so you can kick back and relax on your trip without wondering how your belongings are doing. What is the Disadvantage of a Hard-Shell Suitcase? Hard shells are typically less expandable than soft-sided bags and may show scratches over time. That said, it’s a small price to pay for the peace of mind and protection hard-shell luggage offers. Do Airlines Prefer Hard or Soft Luggage? Airlines don’t have an official preference, and who cares anyway? You’re the one paying them to handle your baggage! We imagine baggage handlers prefer hard-shell anyway as it’s easier to stack, less likely to snag or tear, and often fit more neatly into overhead or cargo compartments. What Color Hard Luggage is Best? Neutral tones like matte black, silver, navy, or beige tend to hide scuffs and look timeless. But only you can choose the best hard-shell luggage color for your unique preferences. From the basics like black and white to forest green, beige, baby blue, hot pink, red, lavender, and more, the possibilities are endless at Nobl Travel. Take a look and see what catches your eye.
