Know before you buy
The expansion feature allows you to increase the depth of the case, providing additional packing capacity for souvenirs or extra layers when you need it most.
The two-wheel system is designed for durability and stability, especially when navigating uneven surfaces or curbs. While it requires you to tilt the bag to pull it, the recessed wheels are less prone to damage during rough baggage handling.
This case is specifically designed for short trips, typically ranging from three to five days. If you are a light packer, you may be able to stretch it to a week, especially by utilizing the expandable feature.
Multiple handles make it significantly easier to lift the case into overhead bins, car trunks, or onto luggage racks. Having grab points on the top, side, and bottom provides better leverage and control when maneuvering the bag in tight spaces.
The Alpha 2 collection is built with TUMI's signature ballistic nylon, which is highly resistant to abrasions, tears, and punctures. It is engineered to withstand the heavy wear and tear of frequent travel while maintaining its structural integrity.
