Proven quality through rigorous testing.
Every journey comes with its challenges — the unexpected bump, the rough transfer, the changing climate. At Victorinox, we prepare for all of them. Every piece of travel gear is engineered, tested and refined to meet our uncompromising standards of quality. From the first prototype to full-scale production, each stage includes up to 20 individual tests that simulate real travel conditions. Products are fully packed and securely locked before testing, and selected procedures include temperature conditioning to reflect the extremes your luggage may face. No travel gear leaves our facility without passing our standards. Because your journey deserves equipment that performs effortlessly in every situation and anywhere in the world.
We test every case to make sure it performs wherever your travels take you. Each procedure mirrors years of use to confirm the strength, reliability, and endurance that define Victorinox.
Treadmill Test: Rolling over rough and smooth surfaces, in both four-wheel and two-wheel modes, proves that your luggage moves as smoothly as your journey should.
Tumble Test: Rotational testing simulates continuous movement and handling, ensuring your luggage remains resilient through every transfer and connection.
Drop Test: Each case is dropped from 90 cm to test its ability to absorb shocks so your belongings stay protected even when your trip doesn’t go to plan.
Corner Drop Test: We drop luggage on all eight corners to verify structural integrity. From crowded car boots to airport carousels, every angle of impact has been tested.
Carry Handle Jerk Test: A mechanical hook repeatedly lifts and releases the loaded case to verify handle strength. You can trust your luggage to stay secure in your hand, wherever you go.
Trolley Handle Extension Test: Handles are extended and retracted repeatedly to confirm smooth movement and precise functionality because every detail should perform flawlessly.
Environmental Test: Our products are exposed to alternating heat, cold, and humidity to ensure they perform in all climates. From icy runways to tropical heat, each suitcase is built to endure.
