What Is Considered a Lightweight Suitcase?
Medium-sized lightweight luggage weighs approximately seven pounds, while larger lightweight luggage weighs between 8.5 to 13 pounds.
How Many Pounds is a TravelPro® Maxlite® Suitcase?
A Travelpro® Maxlite® 5 medium-sized suitcase, such as the Travelpro Maxlite® 5 25" Medium Check-In Spinner weighs only 6.8 pounds. Carry-on luggage is even lighter: the Maxlite® 5 21" Carry-On Spinner weighs a mere 5.4 pounds. Even the Maxlite® hardshell luggage is incredibly lightweight: the Maxlite® Air Medium Check-In Hardside Spinner is only 8.5 pounds.
Which is Lighter: Hard or Soft Luggage?
Softside luggage is typically lighter than hardshell bags, but this depends on the materials used to make the luggage. A Maxlite® hardside suitcase, for instance, uses ultra-lightweight materials and can be lighter than comparably sized soft-shell luggage.
