LA MIRADA, Calif. - May 28, 2014 - PRLog -- Everything gets lighter in the summer, including the weight of luggage. Two of Ricardo Beverly Hills’ lightest and newest luggage collections are Sunset Boulevard and Roxbury 2.0; its lightest case is Sunset Boulevard’s 20” 4 Wheel Expandable Wheelaboard, weighing just 7.1 lbs. Pair this luggage with tips for packing light and tight to make summer travels as light as an ocean breeze. Purchase your luggage at  www.RicardoBeverlyHills.com and you’ll also get a lighter price tag, too, with savings of up to 50 percent – leaving you more money to spend on your vacation.

Lighter luggage

Lightweight and durable, Ricardo Beverly Hills’ three-piece Sunset Boulevard Collection in shock-absorbing polycarbonate has a dual spinner wheel system for 360-degree mobility. A split book-style opening offers two packing compartments for convenient access to all of your belongings, allowing you to separate clean clothes from soiled ones or bulky items from lightweight ones to reduce wrinkling.

Cases expand with the pull of a zipper, perfect for accommodating extra items acquired during summer travels. In either Pearl Blue or Wine Red, collection pieces include a 20”, 24” and 28” 4-Wheel Expandable Wheelaboard, each with a 10-year limited warranty. Buy them on sale for  $119.99/$149.99/$179.99 at www.RicardoBeverlyHills.com/Sunset-Blvd

Bold and beautiful in colors including in juicy Mulberry, sophisticated Black Cherry and sleek and classy Brushed Silver, Ricardo Beverly Hills’ Roxbury 2.0 collection features a full range of luggage sizes. The largest 29” spinner upright is perfect for long, leisurely trips while the two smallest 19” pieces are ideal for a weekend jaunt.

Cases are lightweight in high-impact Makrolon® polycarbonate that can withstand extreme temperatures – perfect for that swing from an Alaska cruise to a jungle safari. Oversized dual spinner wheels create a stable base and roll like a dream even when cases are packed to the gills. Retails range from $300-$400, but the cases can be bought at 50 percent off at www.RicardoBeverlyHills.com/Roxbury-2.0.

Smarter packing

Before packing your lightweight luggage, create a packing list so you won’t forget anything important. Roger Dillon, marketing manager at Ricardo Beverly Hills who travels at least one week each month, advises travelers to begin crafting their list weeks ahead of departure to provide time to buy any needed items.

Other tips: Roll clothes rather than fold – and wrap them in tissue paper to reduce and in some cases eliminate wrinkles. Pack according to your itinerary; bring only what you know you will use and, if you’re traveling for longer than a week, plan to do laundry on the road. Bring clothing pieces that can do double duty for day outings and evening functions.

“Your on-the-road wardrobe should feature plenty of layers, which will help you get through multiple climates in style and comfort,” said Dillon. “Likewise, pack in neat layers for easy screening. According to the TSA, this gives the security agent screening your bag a clear picture of what’s inside – and the faster the agent can screen your stuff, the faster you’ll get through the security line and be on your way to your vacation.”

Know your airline’s baggage fee policy to eliminate sticker shock. Most international carriers allow one checked bag for free, but the majority of U.S. carriers charge big bucks for bags checked on domestic flights. You may discover you can get away with a carry-on after all – and that money saved can be put into your vacation.
