Know before you buy
The side carry handle features a built-in scale that activates when you lift the suitcase. If the bag exceeds 50 pounds, a visual indicator alerts you, helping you avoid unexpected airline fees at the check-in counter.
Yes, the interior lining is designed to be fully removable and machine washable. This makes it simple to keep the inside of your suitcase fresh and hygienic after long trips.
The patented SECURITECH® zipper is a dual-layer system designed to be three times more resistant to intrusion than a standard zipper. It provides significantly better protection against theft and accidental bursts while in transit.
Yes, the Shadow 5.0 is expandable, allowing you to increase your packing capacity for souvenirs or extra gear. Keep in mind that expanding the bag will increase its depth beyond the standard 13 inches.
With exterior dimensions of 29.75 x 19.75 x 13 inches, this bag fits within the standard linear dimension limits for most major airlines. However, it is always a good idea to check your specific airline's policy before flying.
Polycarbonate is a high-impact-resistant material that is both lightweight and flexible. It is designed to absorb impact by flexing under pressure rather than cracking, making it an excellent choice for checked luggage that undergoes rough handling.
