Compare medium and large luggage covers from Antler, learn how to measure your suitcase, and get clear answers to common sizing questions before you buy.
Quick answer
Choose the medium luggage cover for standard carry-on and medium checked suitcases, and the large cover for larger checked cases. If your suitcase falls between sizes, size up for easier stretch and removal.
Why the medium and large covers are not interchangeable
The two covers are built for different suitcase footprints. A medium cover on a large case will stretch too thin and may not stay put; a large cover on a medium case will bunch and look loose. Matching the cover to your case keeps the fabric taut and the cover secure.
The medium cover is available in Antler Green, while the large cover comes in Heather Purple. Color is a practical identifier on the carousel, so pick the one that makes your case easiest to spot.
When to ignore size labels and measure instead
Suitcase labels vary between brands and collections, so a case sold as 'medium' by one maker may match another maker's 'large.' Always measure your own suitcase before ordering a cover. If the measurement sits right at the top of the medium range, the large cover is the safer choice.
Luggage cover sizing FAQ
- How do I measure my suitcase for a cover?
- Measure the height, width, and depth of your closed suitcase, including wheels and handles. Compare those measurements to the cover's intended size range. If your case is close to the upper limit of the medium range, choose the large cover. Write down your measurements before you shop; do not rely on the suitcase's marketing size alone.
- Can I use a medium cover on a large suitcase?
- No. A medium cover will be overstretched on a large case, which can make it difficult to fit and may cause it to slip or tear. Use the large cover for large suitcases.
- Can I use a large cover on a medium suitcase?
- It will fit over the case, but the extra fabric may bunch and look untidy. For a snug fit and clean look, use the medium cover on medium cases.
- Which cover color should I choose?
- The medium cover comes in Antler Green and the large cover in Heather Purple. Pick the color that contrasts most with your other luggage so you can spot your case quickly on the carousel.
- Do the covers fit Antler's Icon Collection?
- Yes. Both the medium and large covers are sized to fit a variety of suitcases, including those in Antler's new Icon Collection. Check your specific Icon case measurements against the cover size before ordering.
