Know before you buy
Tegris is a high-performance thermoplastic composite originally developed for lifesaving armor and race cars. It offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making the suitcase incredibly impact-resistant while remaining significantly lighter than traditional polycarbonate shells.
Yes, with dimensions of 22 x 14 x 9 inches, this bag is designed to meet the standard carry-on requirements for most major domestic airlines. However, if you utilize the 5 cm expansion feature, you should check your airline's specific size limits, as the bag may exceed them when fully expanded.
The suitcase features an integrated USB port and an internal cable that connects to your own power bank, which is stored inside a dedicated mesh pocket. This allows you to charge your devices conveniently while moving through the airport without needing to dig through your bag.
The interior includes a dedicated zip garment compartment specifically designed to hold one suit. It also comes with a hanger bracket to keep your clothing secure and minimize wrinkling during transit.
The four-wheel spinner system is engineered for smooth, multi-directional movement on flat surfaces like airport terminals. While it performs well on standard flooring, keep in mind that like most spinner luggage, it may require tilting onto two wheels when navigating cobblestones or rough outdoor terrain.
TUMI’s 5-year limited warranty covers functional defects in materials and workmanship. This includes issues with handles, wheels, and zippers, ensuring your investment is protected against manufacturing faults during the first few years of travel.
