The holidays are here, and while we are still experiencing summer-like weather, other destinations are going through beautiful autumn, with temperatures hinting at the delicious chill that comes with winter. Whether you’re a stylish jet setter packing away #ootd’s, a well connected explorer who needs a backpack full of gadgets, or a minimalist adventurer who likes to pack light, SM Travel’s got your luggage needs covered.
It’s in the bag

When it comes to travel, whether domestic or international, finding good luggage is key. Keep these tips in mind when you’re shopping at
The SM Store for your travel gear.

Wheels up
Look for “spinner wheels” when selecting your main suitcase. This means wheels turn 360º, allowing you to easily wheel your luggage even if it’s upright.
Urban
Hard or soft?
Suitcases generally fall in two categories: hard and soft. There is no superior choice between the two, choose between a hard or soft case based on your personal preference and traveling style.
Technopack
Backpacks rule
When looking for a bag to tote your tech, make it a backpack. Most traveling backpacks have provisions for gadgets that require extra padding. Travel-friendly backpacks also have padded straps that won’t cut into your shoulders when your load is heavy.

Look for all-weather material
Weather can be unpredictable while traveling. Look for a shoulder or crossbody bag to store your touring essentials. Make sure that it’s made of a lightweight material so you can carry what you need without feeling weighed down. A bag in a water-repellent material lets you go around without worrying a sudden downpour might ruin your stuff. Look for a bag with multiple pockets that will let you keep valuables in areas only you can access.
Compass
The best of both worlds: suitcase
Look for a suitcase that feels light when it’s empty. A well-made travel case is lightweight but sturdy. That way, you can be sure that you will remain within the airline’s baggage allowance weight even if your suitcase is bursting with your shopping spree haul.
Voyager
Travel securely
Travel easily and securely with luggage equipped with TSA locks. Pockets with two zippers aren’t just for ease of opening, this will allow you to secure each pocket using individual padlocks, giving you peace of mind that nothing goes into or out of your suitcases without you knowing.
