For frequent travellers
"Unbreakable" luggage typically features durable, flexible materials like 100% polypropylene, polycarbonate, or high-grade aluminum. These materials resist cracking by flexing under pressure, making them ideal for frequent travel. Key options include the Gabbiano Unbreakable Hardshell and various 100% Polycarbonate Hardside options.
Top "Unbreakable" Materials & Brands
- Polypropylene (PP): Known for being lightweight and highly flexible; it resists, or is virtually impossible to, break or crack. Examples include Gabbiano and Case Valker Nova.
- Polycarbonate (PC): Extremely tough and rigid, often used for premium durability. It is flexible enough to avoid cracking but offers more rigid protection than polypropylene. Examples include Nomatic Method and Samsonite Freeform.
- Aluminum: Extremely sturdy and rigid, though it may dent, it is very difficult to break through.
- Ballistic Nylon: The industry standard for durable soft-shell luggage.
Key Features to Look For
- 100% Virgin Material: Ensure it is not a mix with ABS (which cracks easily).
- Reinforced Corners: Extra protection at high-impact points.
- YKK Zippers: Durable zippers that prevent breakage or theft.
- TSA-Approved Locks: Essential for international travel.

- Nomatic Method Check-In: Features a polycarbonate shell with tested durability.
- Traveler’s Choice Pagosa: Known for being an "indestructible" hardshell.
