Navigate Busy Airports And Crowded Streets With Confidence Using Our Maneuverable Suitcases Built With High Performance Wheels For Optimal Control
Travel should be an adventure, not a hassle. But most of us know what it feels like to flow through a crowded airport or a busy street. Ducking and dodging fellow travelers, racing to make a connecting flight, lugging a clunky, uncooperative suitcase—all of it can sap the joy from travel and trying. This common pain point is exactly why we designed our revolutionarily maneuverable line of suitcases. The ideal companion for the modern traveler, they empower you to move confidently and effortlessly across nature’s mazes. With high-performance wheels at their core, they tranform airport mosh pits and urban gauntlets into smooth glides, so that you’re focused on the excitement of your destination, not the frustration of getting there.
The Design of the High-Performance Wheel System
The secret weapon of our suitcases’ incredible simplicity of control is its wheel system. Rather than use the weak single-wheel casters that come on most luggage, we outfit our suitcases with a custom, dual-wheel system featuring a precision-mounted axle and topquality, sealed bearings that allow for free and easy, independent spinning, with the very least friction and resistance.
These wheels are constructed from a proprietary blend of polyurethane, chosen after extensive tests for the right combination of durability and a smooth, silent roll.Unlike loud clattering hard plastic wheels on tile floors, or soft rubber ones that degrade and flatten, our polyurethane wheels are highly durable, designed to stand up to the rigors of the toughest airports, miles of cobblestones, and years of use without faltering. Ours are a little wider than average, providing a bigger “footprint,” or larger contact patch with the ground, for greater stability—so the suitcase won’t wobble or tip over, even fully packed.
Mastering the Control of 360 Degrees
Exceptional wheels are nice, but how they’re configured is what really gives you next-level control. Ours are a full, omnidirectional 360-degree spinner system, so all four wheels go all the way around, and the suitcase can be pushed, pulled, or led from any angle. It’s huge in super-tight spots where two-wheeled “rollaboards” need to be tilted and dragged.
Imagine snakelike gliding through a busy terminal room full of fellow travelers. Instead of dragging the back of a suitcase along awkwardly, where it bangs against your heels, you just push our suitcase along beside you, and each of its four wheels glides perfectly with you in lockstep. And in narrow airplane aisles, you can easily lead it in front of you, pivoting it just by twisting the suitcase handle a couple of degrees.This 360 degrees of motion gives you the type of responsiveness that makes a dense crowd feel more like a spacious plaza.
Optimal Control Through Ergonomic and Telescoping Handle Design
Control isn’t just about the wheels on the ground. It’s about the connection between you and luggage. Badly constructed handles make even the best wheel system pointless. Our telescopic handles are designed to be completely rigid when extended, making them easy and pleasant to use. Constructed from reinforced aluminum alloy, they push out with a satisfying click and snap back into place with equal reassurance, locking into a number of height positions to cater for every size of traveller.
The grip is moulded for your hand, so it feels natural in your hand without straining your wrist or forearm too much when it’s held for any length of time. Most importantly, our snug fitting of the handle to the suitcase means all your blows with the handle extend directly into the wheels. If you want to whip the suitcase around a corner, all you have to do is the tiniest lift of the top. This one-to-one reaction makes you feel totally in control: movement is flowing inside yourself, and the case becomes an extension of your body.
Durability for the Real World: From Baggage Belts to Cobblestones
There’s no use for a suitcase that works on the first day and falls to pieces after a few trips.Our rolling wheels are designed to last through the entire journey, not just the walk through the terminal. This is why we use a sealed bearing, which protects the internal mechanism from dust, dirt, moisture, or other debris out there on your travels—so no grit from the tarmac, no sand from the beach path, gets in there to grind them down and seize up your wheels. The resilient polyurethane compound resists abrasions and chipping, so other suitcases wheels can be shredded on the rough, pitted surfaces of baggage claim carousels, but ours undergo a few impacts with no problem. Our wheels stay smooth-rolling no matter how you’re directing them, whether gently guiding through a museum or letting airport baggage handlers do the driving and keeping rolling. When you finally get home, unlike the luggage you so easily discarded, you want that confidence to stick. You want a suitcase designed for life.
The cumulative effect of our bags’ design means that you spend less time worrying about wrenching your forlorn carry-on through security, and no longer spend extra time on your travels to be able to fight through the crowds with them—no more “run for your flight” workouts to fit in when every trip is a workout.
Being constantly more comfortable moves forward into this confidence to zero in the present moment. You think less about struggling with a suitcase, and more about finding your gate or what to eat in that Asian airport food court. Finding the right connection between the fish and the rice—the moving suitcase becomes your travel companion, from Tokyo to Dubai. Not just a suitcase (or a bag), but one that restores the hope of discovery back to your life.
