DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a treatment applied to the fabric of your bag that makes it water-resistant. This means that when it rains or if you accidentally spill something, water will bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in. This helps keep your belongings dry and protected, making it ideal for travel or outdoor activities.

Denier is a measurement of the thickness of the fibers in a fabric. A higher denier number indicates a thicker and more durable fabric. For example, a bag made from 1200D polyester will be more robust and resistant to wear and tear compared to one made from 600D. If you want a bag that can withstand heavy use, look for a higher denier rating.

An expandable bag has the ability to increase its storage capacity. For instance, if a roller bag can expand by an additional 15 liters, it allows you to pack more items when needed, such as extra clothing or souvenirs from your travels. This feature is particularly useful for trips where you might need extra space.

Urethane wheels are made from a durable type of plastic that provides a smooth rolling experience, making it easier to maneuver your bag. They are designed to withstand wear and tear, ensuring longevity. Additionally, if the wheels do get damaged, they are replaceable, allowing you to maintain your bag without needing to buy a new one.

To determine if a bag is suitable for your travel needs, consider factors such as size, weight, material durability (denier), water resistance (DWR coating), and additional features like expandability. Also, check for certifications like bluesign® APPROVED to ensure you're making an environmentally friendly choice. Assessing these features will help you find a bag that meets your specific requirements for comfort and functionality during your travels.
