Know before you buy
The CX system uses a simple pull-and-lock mechanism that allows you to expand the case to gain extra packing volume. Once you have finished packing, you push the case down to compress it back to its original dimensions, which helps keep your belongings secure and prevents shifting during transit.
Makrolon is a high-grade, virgin polycarbonate known for its exceptional impact resistance and flexibility. It is designed to flex under pressure rather than crack, making it one of the most durable materials available for hard-sided luggage.

The Portmantos device is included to provide an extra layer of security and peace of mind. It allows you to monitor the location of your luggage, helping you keep track of your bags throughout your journey.
