Know before you buy
At 20 x 8 x 14 inches, this carry-on is designed to meet the standard size requirements for most international airlines. However, always check your specific airline's carry-on policy before traveling, as size restrictions can vary.
The 2-inch tapered expansion is engineered to keep the center of gravity low when the bag is fully packed. This design helps prevent the suitcase from tipping over while standing upright, even when expanded to its full capacity.
The high-performance ball-bearing in-line wheels are built for durability and protected by crash-guard housings. While they are designed for longevity, they are standard in-line wheels that can be serviced or replaced if necessary.
Yes, the handle features two stop points at 38 inches and an extra-tall 42.5 inches. This allows you to adjust the height to a comfortable position, reducing strain on your arm while navigating through airports.
The water-repellent coating provides a strong layer of protection against light rain, spills, and moisture during transit. While it is highly effective for standard travel conditions, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
This model weighs 6.5 pounds. Its lightweight construction is achieved through a honeycomb framing system, which maintains structural integrity without adding unnecessary bulk.
