Know before you buy
Yes, the dimensions of 22 x 16 x 9 inches are designed to meet standard carry-on requirements for both domestic and international flights. However, we always recommend checking your specific airline's size policy before departure.
The front-lid design allows you to open the main compartment from the front rather than splitting the bag down the middle. This is particularly useful in tight spaces or hotel rooms with limited luggage rack surface area.
The zipper-to-zipper expansion provides extra packing volume when you need it, but it does increase the depth of the bag. Keep in mind that when fully expanded, the suitcase may exceed the carry-on size limits of some stricter airlines.
The TUMI Tracer is a complimentary recovery program. You register your unique 20-digit Tracer number on the TUMI website after purchase, which helps the brand reunite you with your bag if it is ever lost and recovered.
Yes, TUMI has engineered this fabric to meet their rigorous durability standards. It is designed to withstand the wear and tear of frequent travel while offering a more sustainable alternative to virgin materials.
These features are designed to absorb impact and prevent abrasion on the most vulnerable areas of the suitcase. They protect the fabric from scuffs and structural damage when the bag is handled by airport staff or dragged over curbs.
