An important criterion for choosing a bag has always been its size.

Bags do not have a general classification by size. A casual bag can be medium or large in size for two different people, depending on its parameters.There is a table that determines the size of the bag, taking into account the height of the person and the size that he wears. The table determines the size of the bag, optimal for a particular person. Such a size can be considered medium, and all the others, before and after this, are respectively small and large.

As a rule, travel bags, on the basis of this size table, are classified as large. Therefore, it is advisable to use other standards that are suitable for choosing a travel bag. There is a classification of road luggage, coming from the dimensions.

It also did not do without determining the optimal size for different indicators of human growth. So, for women, whose growth is on average 162.56 cm, it is inappropriate to use a suitcase above 68.58 cm. It will be too bulky.

The classification corresponds to the rate of production. Accordingly, each suitcase has its own size, indicated on the label. All sizes of suitcases can be divided into large, medium, small and mini.

Large suitcases correspond to sizes 28 “-30“. A size of 30 "is considered very large. There is a risk that it will not be accepted into the luggage compartment of the aircraft. The size 28 "corresponds to the height of a suitcase 70 cm and is suitable for family travel, long trips. In letter form, this is size L.

Medium size - 24 "- 27". Such suitcases are designed for no more than two people. A great option for a girl traveling alone. And roomy, and not very heavy. The size 24 "has a height of 60 cm. By international standards it is size M.

Small suitcases - 20 “-22“. For size S, a height of 50 cm (20 “) is chosen. Such a suitcase fits into the norms of hand luggage. Suitable for children from 10 years.

There are also very small suitcases - 16 “-18“, whose height is 45-48 cm. The field of application corresponds to suitcases of S size, but with a smaller capacity.

High-quality models of bags and suitcases are less likely to be damaged during transportation in the luggage compartment of an aircraft or bus.

It is easiest to buy a reliable travel bag that can last more than one year at manufacturing companies that are recommended in the market. The quality of their product is difficult to doubt. These brands include Isanti, Dakine, Ouiksilver and Burton.

To buy a travel bag for a very low price is not difficult, In our country, 80% of the segment of the travel bags and suitcases market is occupied by low-cost models. The cost of goods, first of all, depends on the country of origin.

A large market share in our country is occupied by products from China. Domestic production of travel bags and suitcases is not developed at the proper level due to economic reasons, based primarily on the dominance of Chinese products.

The following factors contribute to the successful development of Chinese suppliers:

1. Local raw materials;
2. The proximity of factories with component goods from factories - manufacturers of final goods;
3. Cheap labor;
4. A large number of contractors;
5. Low cost of goods.

Products made in Chinese factories are often not of good quality. But most buyers do not delve into the details of the product, paying attention only to the appearance and price.

But there are factories producing high quality products. These products are supplied to well-known brands. Those place their brand on the product and sell it at a high price.

The most difficult to manufacture, among the entire road range, are the suitcases. Starting their production is a time consuming and costly process. In conditions of high competition, it pays off for a long time.

In Russia, road bags are made, but at the amateur level. According to experts, it is worth expanding the segment of travel bags that do not require large production investments.

Bags on wheels - the direction in which Russia occupies a leading position in the domestic market. In addition, the list of manufactured goods includes other types of bags. However, there are very few leather factories in the country, and the choice of goods is often poor.

Rate reviews when choosing often help reviews about it. Especially willingly, people leave reviews in large online stores, on specialized sites for reviews with posting photos or recording video - product reviews.

Especially popular are reviews on cheap products from China. For bags for small money usually there are no special requirements. The main thing is to have an acceptable appearance without marriage and bad seams and no smell from the products. Most people are satisfied with the purchase, although not in the vast majority of cases.

By purchasing Russian-made bags, buyers hope to receive, first of all, high-quality goods. This desire often does not depend on the price, which may not be higher than that of bags from China. The quality of Russian-made products in the vast majority of cases meets the expected requirements.

Turning to European manufacturers, buyers often want to buy branded bags. Such products are of high quality and receive appropriate support from buyers.

The size of the travel bag is often based on its size parameter. They can be small, medium and large.

Large travel bags, as a rule, suitcases, have a volume of 65 liters.They are designed for long trips, from two weeks or more. Hold business suits, outerwear, several pairs of shoes, casual clothes and hygiene products.

Bags of medium size with a volume of from 36 to 60 liters are designed for a weekly trip. They contain removable sets of clothes and shoes, personal hygiene products.

Small bags up to 36 liters are designed for a short trip for a couple of days and can only hold essentials, including a spare set of clothes.

The capacity of things in travel bags and suitcases largely depends on the ways of addition. Even in a small suitcase, you can fit a number of things comparable to the amount in an average suitcase. At the same time things will not be dented.

Adding things can be divided into several stages:

1. Begin to add things you need, first of all, with the main department. First fit the bulk things: shoes and books. Shoes are placed along the walls of the suitcase, pre-filling it with small things, such as socks and scarves. This will prevent it from crushing and save space.
2. All long accessories (belts and belts) are placed along the perimeter of the bag. The free space at the bottom of the bag between the shoes and books is filled with small things (T-shirts and tops), wrapped in a tube.
3. Next, make the basis of the design. The underwear is placed inside a non-creasing knitted blouse or towel. Wrap the blouse around the linen, forming a roller. For the roller, you can use several knitted blouses, each wrapping around the existing roller. Then knitted not creasing dresses are wrapped around him. The resulting roller can be put aside, it will come in handy later.
4. The largest pieces of clothing are put on the table (outerwear, jacket), overlapping layer by layer, guiding them in opposite directions. Buttons and zippers on clothes should be fastened to keep the shape. The adjoining parts are approximately 1/3 the length of the shirt.
5. The following layers - shirts with long sleeves are arranged in the same way as the first layers. The sleeves of products do not wrap, they lie on the sides. Shirts made from natural fabrics can be alternated with knitwear with long sleeves, or put a layer of silk, rice or tissue paper between natural fabrics.
6. Next, put the pants, jeans, folded in half as the overlap, but in the directions of the sleeves of shirts and outerwear. The pants are placed from the level where the bottom line of the sleeve begins.
7. The next layers are shirts and blouses without sleeves, the easiest things. They are put on top of pants in the same directions as long-sleeved shirts.
8. After all the basic things are folded, from the densest and most voluminous to the lightest, a previously prepared roll is placed in the center of the overlay layer.
9. Next, wrapping around the roller lying on opposite sides of the garment. Begin with legs, first the legs of one product, then the opposite, alternate. The edges are turned under the roller. After the legs go to shirts without sleeves and then layer by layer. First, wrap the sleeves of the product, then its lower part. Each part of the product fits tightly, in a well-straightened form.
10. The resulting bundle is placed in a bag or suitcase, securing straps, if any.
