Hard tube, case or holdall: three different compromises
Choose a rigid tube for crush resistance, a holdall for versatility and a sleeve for surface protection with minimum weight.

Decide around the riskiest part of the journey
Base the decision on the riskiest part of the journey, not only the short walk from the car to the swim.
Chat on WhatsAppCompare protection, weight and access
Score each option for crush protection, carrying weight, speed of access and capacity. Choose around the riskiest stage of the journey rather than the easiest few metres from the car to the swim.

Frequently asked questions
Which option is best when other luggage will be stacked on top?
Choose a hard shell whenever crushing or stacked luggage is a credible risk.
Is a light sleeve enough for a journey by car?
It may be enough for controlled car travel with no load above and the rods secured.
How can I reduce weight without losing the protection I need?
Remove unnecessary volume first; do not remove the rigidity required by the riskiest stage.
