Aluminum Frame Suitcases

Prized for their premium look and rugged build, aluminum-frame suitcases resist warping far better than zippered cases and offer solid, secure locking. If you want a case that lasts for years—or one that looks the part on a business trip—this is where to start.

When choosing an aluminum frame, look at frame thickness and reinforced corners, wheel smoothness and quietness, and weight (frame construction tends to be heavier, so check for a lightweight design). Ashard balances strength with everyday ease of use.

Silent double wheels and a TSA lock come standard. Choose from understated business-ready designs to front-open compatible models.
