Know before you buy

Yes, the Sympatico 2.0 features a specialized matte finish specifically engineered to resist scuffs and scratches. While no hardside luggage is completely immune to impact, this material is designed to maintain a clean, polished appearance even after frequent use.
Yes, the aircraft-grade aluminum handle features three distinct stop heights. This allows you to adjust the handle to a comfortable position based on your height or the specific way you are maneuvering the bag.
