Cases sized in inches, not in adjectives

Every UKEIN case comes with the numbers that decide the purchase: the shell size in inches, the volume in litres, the weight, and what comes in the box. Pick the size first and the colour second.

The UKEIN lines with the most ratings behind them, sizes and colour counts first.

Everything

Start with the size

The number on the shell decides where the case travels: in the cabin, in the hold, or on your back.

About UKEIN

What the UKEIN range is, and how to choose from it

UKEIN makes travel cases and travel bags, and this is the catalogue laid out in full. The range is small on purpose: one hardside shell in three sizes, a softside carry-on, and a short line of backpacks and duffels that go with them. Nothing here is a season, and nothing gets replaced every spring.

The hard cases share one construction. The shell is polycarbonate, textured so that the first scrape does not read as damage. The wheels are dual spinners that turn through a full circle, the handle is a three-stage aluminium tube, the zips are alloy, and the lock is the TSA type with a resettable code. Inside there are zippered divider panels, compression straps on one side, and a wet pocket that keeps a swimsuit away from a shirt.

The sets are the part of the UKEIN lineup people buy most. A set is one case, one backpack and one toiletry bag in the same trim, and the backpack carries a sleeve at the back that slides over the case handle so the two travel as one piece. The carry-on set stops at twenty inches. The checked sets go to twenty-four and twenty-eight.

The soft side of the range answers a different question. The expandable carry-on is fabric rather than shell, which means it takes an awkward shape better and grows from forty-five to fifty-five litres when the way home is fuller than the way out. It carries a padded pocket for a laptop up to seventeen inches. The backpacks and duffels add a charging port at the strap, a vented compartment for shoes at the base, and a wet pocket of their own.

The UKEIN approach to colour is worth a sentence. One shape is made in up to fifteen colourways, from black and cream through pink, violet and a run of greens, and the trim is the same cognac on almost all of them. The name beside each price is the one on the label, so the colour you pick is the colour that arrives.

A trip turns on a few figures: the cabin dimensions, the litres, the weight in pounds, the laptop pocket range. You will find them beside each case, so you can hold them against your airline's limit before you choose a colour. Prices move with the season, and the figure at checkout is the one that counts.

The three most rated lines

See all

There are things this range does not do, and they are worth saying before you buy rather than after. None of these cases is waterproof. A hard shell keeps rain off the contents for a walk across a car park, and the seam at the zip is not a seal.

  1. 1. Spin each wheel before the next tripA spinner that drags on the carpet has something wound round the axle, and it is easier to cut out at home.
  2. 2. Wipe the shell while it is still dirtyTextured polycarbonate holds grit in the pattern, and the marks that stay are the ones left to dry.
  3. 3. Take the old tag offTwo barcodes on one handle is how a bag goes to the wrong city.
Three minutes on the way in that save an argument on the way out.

None of them carries a manufacturer weight allowance either, so the airline limit is the one that counts, and a twenty-eight inch case reaches it while there is still room inside. The spinner wheels are quiet on a terminal floor and loud on a cobbled street. A TSA lock is a deterrent that an inspector can open, not a safe.

Every piece is bought through our retail partner, and the buttons here open the exact colour you chose. Checkout, delivery and returns happen there. Before that step, the ten UKEIN lines sit side by side here with their sizes, so the decision takes a minute rather than an evening.

UKEIN Diaper Bags

Hard shell or soft side: what the choice actually changes

Polycarbonate against fabric, wheels against weight, and what an airline owes you when the case comes back broken.
