A great suitcase is a travel must-have, but even ones from the best luggage brands aren't immune to one of the most dreaded travel mishaps: a lost bag or missing contents. Luggage straps can add an extra level of security, keeping your checked luggage or carry-on bag securely closed, away from prying hands and even making them easier to spot at baggage claim. Some also allow you to tether multiple bags together, so you can more easily navigate public transportation and airport terminals.
While we haven't formally tested luggage straps, pros in the Good Housekeeping Institute’s Textiles Lab recently tested over 80 luggage brands. We know what materials and features make suitcases — and their accessories — reliable and durable. Our top pick is made by Samsonite, a well-respected brand that has continuously proven to manufacture highly durable and easy-to-use travel gear — and snagged the best overall distinction in our luggage tests. These picks have been selected by independent editor research and based on noteworthy reviews.
