SONGMICS’ 55cm hard shell cabin case sits in the brand’s budget travel range, competing with entry level ABS suitcases from the likes of Aerolite and IT Luggage. It’s built for short breaks and carry on use, with a rigid ABS exterior that helps protect clothes and tech from knocks in overhead lockers and on airport transfers. The black finish keeps it low key, and the layout focuses on simple, fuss free organisation rather than premium extras.

Who is this cabin suitcase for?

If you want something light enough to manoeuvre through stations and terminals, the four double spinner wheels matter. They roll 360 degrees, so you can push it alongside you in queues rather than constantly tilting and dragging. A TSA lock is useful for US travel and any trip where your bag might be inspected, since security can open it without forcing the zip.

  • 55cm cabin size for most airline hand luggage allowances (always check your carrier)
  • Hard shell ABS body for better scuff and impact resistance than soft bags
  • TSA lock for travel where inspections are more likely
