Know before you buy
The 2-wheel design is specifically engineered for rough terrain, gravel, and stairs. Because the wheels are recessed and larger, they offer better stability and durability when navigating off-pavement paths where spinner wheels might struggle or break.
At 27 inches tall, this suitcase exceeds the standard carry-on size limits for most airlines. It is designed as a checked bag, so you will need to drop it off at the ticket counter.
The removable shelf allows you to create a tiered organization system inside the main compartment. You can use it to separate clean clothes from dirty gear or to keep heavier items at the bottom, and it can be removed entirely if you prefer one large, open packing space.
Yes, the bag is constructed from 100% recycled polyester and features Hypalon-reinforced corners and a kickplate. These reinforcements are placed in high-stress areas to protect against abrasion and impact during transit.
The expansion panel increases the internal capacity from 66 liters to 79 liters. This adds two inches of depth to the bag, which is helpful if you need extra room for souvenirs or gear on your return trip.
The bag is designed with a structured frame that helps it maintain its shape. While it is stable, keep in mind that as a 2-wheel bag, it relies on the kickplate and wheels to stand upright, so it is most stable when balanced correctly.
