How we uncover the best cabin bag
Every cabin bag we review first has to pass through our state-of-the-art, purpose-built luggage test lab. It's there that a team of qualified scientists spend weeks putting each piece of baggage through its paces. They don't go easy on them either - in fact we have to buy two of each model we test as we frequently end up pushing them to breaking point.
Out of the dozens of individual tests carried out, these are some of the highlights:
- Impact resistance: Each case is repeatedly pummeled with a weighted metal impactor to ensure it can withstand being punctured or crushed
- Zip strength: The main zip on every bag is open and closed 100 times to make sure it doesn't snag or break
