Secure yours Baggage With a robust Protective cover And enjoy every trip without worries! Protect yours Luggage Each adventure is well prepared in front of external influences and starts.
Protective covers keep your suitcase safe from scratches, dirt and rain during travel – and often look great too. Particularly on long flights with multiple baggage transfers or during train and coach journeys, an elastic suitcase cover protects the hard shell from damage. Anti-theft protection and easy identification at the baggage carousel are practical additional benefits.
What types of protective covers are available?
Elastic stretch covers – made from Lycra or Spandex, stretchy, pull over the suitcase like a sock
Waterproof rain covers – made from PVC or coated nylon, protect against heavy rain
Transparent covers – PVC film for dirt protection without hiding the suitcase
Designer covers – with patterns, slogans or camouflage designs, make your suitcase unmistakable
Why use a protective cover?
Scratch protection – hard shell suitcases made from polycarbonate or ABS easily get scratched at baggage carousels. An elastic cover absorbs the friction. Dirt protection – after rain, snow or dirty conveyor belts, the suitcase underneath stays clean. Rain protection – waterproof covers prevent contents from getting wet. Easy identification – you'll spot your suitcase at the baggage carousel in seconds, fewer mix-ups.
What to consider when buying?
Correct size – covers come in S, M, L for standard suitcase heights of 55, 65 and 75 cm
Material – Lycra/Spandex for scratch protection, PVC for rain protection, nylon for mixed use
Cut-outs for handles and wheels – so the suitcase can be used normally
Zip opening – for access to the lock without removing the cover
Machine washable – practical after longer trips or dirt contact
Protective cover for hard shell or soft luggage?
Hard shell suitcases benefit most – they show scratches prominently, and a cover preserves their premium appearance. Soft luggage is often already more dirt-resistant and needs protective covers less frequently; at most as a rain cover on outdoor trips. Aluminium suitcases have their own character: scratches are almost part of their look – some travellers deliberately avoid covers.
A protective cover protects your suitcase from scratches at baggage carousels, from dirt on wet airport floors and from rain. Additionally, it makes your suitcase easier to identify at the baggage carousel and deters opportunistic theft.
How do I find the right size?
Protective covers come in S (for 55 cm cabin luggage), M (for 65 cm) and L (for 75-80 cm). Measure your suitcase height including wheels and handle. Most stretch covers are elastic and cover a range of ±5 cm.
Are protective covers waterproof?
Stretch covers made from Lycra are water-resistant but not waterproof – spray water runs off, but heavy rain penetrates. For complete rain protection, there are covers made from PVC or coated nylon that are waterproof sealed.
Can I wash the protective cover?
Stretch covers made from Lycra/Spandex are usually machine washable at 30°C (gentle cycle). PVC covers are wiped clean with a damp cloth and soapy water. Check the manufacturer's care instructions before washing.
Can I operate the lock and zips?
Brand models have cut-outs or zip openings for the lock, TSA security and zips. Handles and wheels are also exposed. Look for these detailed solutions when purchasing.
Should I use a protective cover on aluminium suitcases too?
Protective covers are less common on aluminium suitcases because scratches and dents are often considered patina. Those who want to preserve the premium appearance for longer still opt for a transparent or plain coloured cover.
