Because I've been such a rubbish blogger lately I thought I'd do an additional post and why not a Holiday Tips?
Ok so most airlines boast a 20kg sometimes 23kg weight limit which is great, but did you know most average suitcases weigh 3.5 - 5kg before you even put anything into it! I didn't until I was shopping in my local matalan and came across the 'Worlds Lightest Suitcase'.
Sub 0 G or Sub 0 G Generation 2 / IT 0 G or IT 0 G Generation 2 are a range of suitcases that claim to be the worlds lightest.
The first one I picked up was the large as I tend to have a bad habit of buying things on holiday and coming back with double what I went with.
I have the black one and it was £50.00 which isn't cheap but considering it comes with a 10 year guarantee isn't too bad. It's made of 'ultra strong' fibre glass despite having a soft body and so far has lasted me 5 years and is only just showing signs of wear and tear (but is still as strong as ever). It is very spacious and weights only 2.3 kg before packing clothes into it, considering my old suitcase was medium and far smaller that this one and weight 4.5kg I'm pretty impressed by the sub 0 G range.
The dimensions of the case are 84.5cm x 52cm x 29.5cm inc wheels and handles (External)
76cm x 50cm x 26.5cm (Internal) *
After being so impressed by the one I already had I then picked up the cabin sized case.
I grabbed this turquoise for my hand luggage as my boyfriend will most likely end up carrying it and I'm not sure hes a lover of pink. This one was £35.00 again a little pricey but if it lasts as long as the bigger one I will be very happy :).
Again this is made of fibre glass and is very spacious. Also with a 10 year guarantee.
This weighs just 1.52 kg before I put anything inside it.
The dimensions of the case are 56.5cm x 36cm x 21cm inc wheels and handles (External)
49cm x 34cm x 18cm (Internal)*
Anyone considering buying these cases?
I would seriously recommend them especially for 2 week holidays or long haul flights.
Much Love,
Daisy
