We provide answers to questions we are frequently asked about luggage protectors
No matter who you are, the rigors of air travel and baggage handlers can eventually take their toll. A luggage cover provides an extra layer to your bag. While plastic wrapping your bag is an option offered by most airports, the use of a bag protector is a far more environmentally friendly option.
Protective luggage covers prevent scuffing and damage from hard handling, tough travel conditions, and long-term wear and tear. It's also a good idea to protect the materials of your bag from the inside. Zip-lock anything that could potentially leak and stain the material of your canvas and leather luggage from the inside - and be conscious of sharp objects (especially in very full bags).
Luggage covers are allowed by airlines and the TSA on condition that they can be easily removed by officers. They may even cut them in the performance of their duties. The protective luggage covers from The Safari Store wrap around the bag with easy-on, easy-off press studs so you can start your trip with minimal stress.
Our canvas luggage covers provide an extra layer to mitigate the chance of scuffing, rips, and tears. It also reduces the chance of zips or hardware snagging badly and ripping while in transit. If you are looking to extend the life of your bag and give it a barrier to dust and dirt, a luggage cover is a great option. That said, there is always an exception to the general rule in the case of extremely tough conditions and gross mishandling.
