to save everyone some time in searching regarding material differences. Here are comparison of different materials:
Aluminum is the most durable material for hardside luggage, but it's much heavier than other options and can be pretty expensive.
Polycarbonate is the most popular material for hard luggage. It is both lightweight and durable, but it can scratch easily.
ABS is a plastic material that is more affordable and even more lightweight than polycarbonate, but it is a bit less durable.
Polypropylene is another type of plastic that is even lighter than and slightly stronger than ABS plastic. It's fairly durable and affordable, as well.
On average, an empty softside carry-on weighs 6.55 lbs (2.97 kg)
On average, an empty hardside carry-on weighs 7.11 lbs (3.23 kg)
The lightest carry-ons weigh between 3.75-5 lbs (1.7-2.3 kg)
The lightest luggage materials are polyester, nylon, and polypropylene
Spinner suitcases weigh 1-3 lbs (0.45-1.36 kg) more than rolling ones
Hardside suitcases weigh 0.5-2.5 lbs (0.22-1.13 kg) more than softside ones
The lightest luggage brands are Lipault, It Luggage, Eagle Creek, and Osprey
The heaviest luggage brands are Tumi, Away, Rimowa, and Briggs & Riley
That shows up with a $70 shipping charge for me. So it ends up being $120+
