Know before you buy
FXT Ballistic Nylon is a military-grade material engineered with a unique weave and coating. It is specifically designed to be virtually abrasion-proof, ensuring the exterior resists tears and scuffs even after heavy travel.
The X-Brace 45 system is designed for structural stability. It prevents the handle from wobbling during transit, making it much easier to navigate through busy terminals or uneven surfaces.
While this case is designed for short trips, we recommend checking your specific airline's carry-on size restrictions before flying, as dimensions can vary significantly between carriers.
The dual-wheel configuration provides 360-degree mobility, allowing the case to glide smoothly alongside you. This design offers better balance and control compared to traditional two-wheel models, especially when navigating tight spaces.
The 5-year limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It provides peace of mind that TUMI stands behind the structural integrity of the case's components, such as the wheels and handle system.
