10 Best Luggage Straps of 2024

In our recent tests of luggage brands, Samsonite earned top honors not only for its wide assortment of styles, but also for its ease of use and durability. Though we haven't tested the brand's luggage straps, we are consistently impressed by its travel products and can vouch for the overall quality. Reviews of this luggage strap confirm users have similar experiences with the brand overall, as well as this product in particular.

The luggage strap, which comes in four colors including an easy-to-spot orange and purple, is made of a heavy-duty polypropylene that can fit bags up to 72 inches around. (Note: Some users say it's difficult to adjust the length.) The Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) buckle — a highly durable material that can withstand high temperatures and rough handling — looks equally wear-resistant, but still appears to open and close without unnecessary struggle.

If you're looking for a quick way to identify your bag, this bright green set of straps from Untethered will do the trick. But it's not all about the visibility aspect. Although these luggage straps offer great overall value, they look just as rugged as others.

Each strap is claimed to be made out of a durable synthetic material that can contain up to 400 pounds, although the exact material isn't listed, and some reviewers say it's on the thinner side. The straps also have stainless steel buckles. Because four come per set, you can also cross these straps on your luggage, providing even more security for the contents inside.

For those who don't mind paying up for a product that looks a little more elevated, Cincha offers a more decorative luggage strap that performs just as well as other more utilitarian options. Choose from 16 fun shades and patterns, plus six additional seasonal options, to suit your personal style or complement your luggage.

Each nylon strap has vegan leather accents to match, as well as a matte black buckle to keep everything secure. You can even add a monogram for added flair. Unfortunately, the belt is only adjustable up to 45 inches, so it's better suited for small suitcases or attaching personal items to your carry-on.

Worried about someone plucking your bag off of the baggage claim carousel by accident? This luggage strap will help bring peace of mind, since it can be personalized with your name, monogram or other identifying details up to 16 characters.

The woven strap is made of a durable polypropylene that adjusts from 35 to 64 inches (a bit smaller than other top picks) and has a plastic buckle to keep everything secure. It also has an important extra: A patented, heavy-duty plastic brake clip that helps prevent the strap from slipping off of your luggage en route.

Swiss Gear is another well-known brand that's been manufacturing luggage and travel gear for more than two decades. Like other high-quality luggage straps, this one is made from a heavy-duty polypropylene and boasts a stainless steel fastener that reviewers say stays firmly clasped. The strap only comes in two shades, but the red is very vibrant — a great option for anyone who prioritizes visibility. It also adjusts up to an impressive 72 inches.

The sister product to our top overall pick, this luggage strap from Samsonite has all of the same great features. It's constructed out of polypropylene and ABS that's supposed to be resistant to wear and tear, adjusts up to 72 inches and comes in four colors including more a neutral black and an easier-to-spot orange.

One downside: it can be just as tricky to adjust the length as its sister pick. But here's where this product differs: It has a TSA-approved combination lock to establish extra theft-protection. The triple-dial mechanism sets and resets, allowing you to choose from hundreds of possible combinations.

It can be difficult to manage multiple bags at once — especially if you're alone in a busy transportation hub. This uniquely designed luggage strap can help make the task more approachable. The double-looped T-shaped design allows you to seamlessly connect two suitcases to one another.

It even comes with an additional strap to secure a smaller third bag, like a personal item. The nylon strap can hold a whopping 400 pounds and boasts an alloy steel buckle that's just as well-equipped to handle those bigger loads. Unfortunately, this strap only comes in black, but it's really meant to be more of an aid rather than a visual cue.

Not only is this rainbow luggage strap playful and fun, but it's also very easy to spot in a crowd. Alternatively, choose from a range of 18 other colors and patterns. Of course, it's as functional as you'd hope.

The package of two can be used to secure your suitcase vertically, horizontally or with a crossed design for added security. It's also made of a high-density jacquard polyester and adjusts up to 76.5 inches. On the downside, some reviewers say the plastic buckle isn't as heavy-duty as they'd hope.

Though nylon, polyester and polypropylene tend to be more durable, they don't have much give — you're much more limited by the products dimensions. This elastic luggage strap is different, because the straps, which come in an X pattern, stretch around your suitcase for the perfect fit — no adjusting with finicky buckles.

Of course, there are limitations to the stretch, and you won't be able to get this one around a large suitcase vertically. You can, however, use it to secure luggage horizontally or even to attach a carry-on item to rolling baggage.

Another vibrant set of luggage straps that's easy to spot, but this time in an array of four neon colors. The color isn't the only claim to fame, though. These luggage straps adjust to more than 78 inches — the longest of any other belt on this list.

Theses straps are made of rugged polypropylene and have sturdy, quick-release plastic buckles that aren't quite as solid as others made of stainless steel, but still get the job done. There's another nice design feature worth mentioning: Each strap has a window where you can insert a card with personal details — a name, phone number or e-mail address — should your baggage get lost.
