(NewsUSA) - Americans are on the go.

According to a 2007 report by the Department of Transportation, U.S. airlines carried more than 744 million domestic and international passengers in 2006.

With so much traveling to be done, many people know just how important a quality piece of luggage can be. When a suitcase rolls down that conveyor belt on its way to be stowed in a plane, the ride can sometimes be a bumpy one. So a high-quality piece of luggage often proves to be an excellent investment.

But whether it's for yourself or as a gift for an on-the-go loved one, what should you look for when shopping for higher quality luggage?

For one thing, the quality of a suitcase's fabric is vital. High-density, premium ballistic nylon is among the best fabric options, especially if it comes with a coating that repels water and dirt.

Luggage manufacturers such as Boyt (http://www.boyt.com) offer a wide range of suitcases made from this premium material. For instance, every suitcase in Boyt's Mach 4 line is made with ballistic nylon, so whether you're shopping for a duffel bag or a large suitcase, you can usually find the type of bag you need with a tough-as-nails exterior.

Make sure the manufacturer of your luggage stands behind it, in case of any problems. Boyt warrants all its products for life against any manufacturing defects. Additionally, their flagship Mach 4 collection even covers all repairs resulting from airline damage.

Finally, shoppers looking for a fashionable piece of luggage should never compromise quality in the process. Look for a suitcase that's as durable as it is chic.

Boyt's new Edge Designer collection has fashion-forward designs with wear-resistant suede-like fabric and leather trim, along with practical features such as lightweight construction, quiet-ride wheels and expandable main compartments.

Whatever the purpose of your trip, choose carefully when it comes to luggage and your suitcase will make the best travel companion you could ever hope for.
