Know before you buy
Tegris is a polypropylene thermoplastic composite known for its exceptional impact resistance and strength-to-weight ratio. It is the same material used in protective gear for professional athletes and race cars, ensuring your luggage can withstand heavy handling without cracking.
Yes, at 22 inches tall, this suitcase is designed to meet the carry-on size requirements for most major domestic and international airlines. However, it is always a good idea to check your specific airline's size policy before flying, especially if you plan to use the 2-inch expansion feature.
The suitcase can expand by 2 inches, which provides extra packing capacity for souvenirs or bulkier items. Keep in mind that when fully expanded, the depth of the bag increases, which may exceed the strict carry-on limits of some regional or budget airlines.
The integrated suiter section is designed to hold a standard suit jacket and trousers, helping to minimize wrinkles during transit. It is best suited for a single suit; if you are traveling with multiple formal outfits, you may need to supplement with a dedicated garment folder.
The four double spinner wheels are engineered for 360-degree mobility, allowing the bag to glide smoothly across smooth airport floors. While they are durable, they are primarily designed for indoor surfaces and may require a bit more effort when navigating cobblestones or thick carpet.
The lock is built directly into the frame of the suitcase, which provides a cleaner look and added security. Because it is TSA-approved, airport security agents can open the lock with a master key for inspections without damaging the mechanism or your luggage.
