What size suitcase is best for 23kg?
The best luggage size for this weight restriction is between 25-29 inches (longest size). That’s because 20 or 23 kg of checked luggage has to be under 62 linear inches (157 cm).
Is hard or soft luggage better?
Because softshell luggage has more give, a hard shell suitcase can be better at protecting fragile contents, assuming you cushion it well inside.
On the other hand, that rigid exterior makes hardshell bags unable to be compressed to squeeze into tight spaces like soft-sided bags are more apt to allow.
