CARRY-ONS:
TOUGH TRAVELER LUGGAGE IS MADE TO LAST. WE USE MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION METHODS THAT ARE CHOSEN FOR DURABILITY. THIS LUGGAGE IS LIGHT ENOUGH TO ALLOW YOU TO TRAVEL IN COMFORT.

Carry-on Size: Typically, airlines define carry-on size as a total of 45", length, width, and height. All of our suitcases described as "Carry-On" fit this size standard.

Tri-Zip Suitcase Back

Shown above with padded backpack straps - which can be simply tucked into the back pocket when you don't need them!
"[Tough Traveler's Trizip is a] great bag as carry on for long trips. 3 times this past year my luggage did not arrive on trips to remote places. The Tri-Zip carried enough so that I could function for the days til the next flight arrived."
Bob Nakamura, Westerlo, NY
" I have used [the Tri-Zip] on both European and Asian Travels, mainly by air but also by rail. The dimensions and the internal organization have endeared the bag so with me that I have recommended it to colleagues and frineds who face similar travel arrangements."
Kevin Larkin, Bassum, Germany

TRI-ZIP
•SIZE: 20" X 13" X 9"
Weight: 3.5 lbs.

As Recommended in Ski Magazine, Kiplinger's Magazine, & OneBag.com
Our most popular suitcase is ideal for anyone who likes to pack light and compactly - and especially great for Business Travelers! With a layout that has been recommended in major publications such as Kiplinger's Magazine, quality workmanship & materials, and an amazingly comfortable & versatile carrying system, this may be the best carry-on on the market!

Features:

• The largest size you can take as a carry-on on most airlines (and it only weighs 3.5 lbs)!
• Full width & length front bellows pocket for personal items such as tickets & passport, etc.
• First pocket features padded section for laptop computer, files, important items, etc. This will also fit a completely removable laptop case - use your own, or visit our laptop inserts.
• Roomy middle section, with firm, removable padding on both sides.
• Large rear section features cinch straps to hold your clothes down and keep them from shifting during travel.
• Detachable, adjustable shoulder strap with removable, no-slide, comfort pad, and carry-handles with leather handgrip.
• Converts to a backpack! The thick padded backpack straps tuck away in a zippered pocket when not needed.
• Back features aluminum stays, which help the suitcase hold its shape, while providing back support when the bag is carried as a backpack. Stays are removable, to further reduce the weight of the bag. Plus there is a removable web-strap waistbelt for added comfort.
• Made of the highest quality domestic materials: heavy-duty, easy-to-clean 1000 d. Cordura®, heavy-duty #10 & #8 YKK® zippers, and USA #69 bonded nylon thread.
• Hand-crafted in the USA with superb workmanship, including reinforced & double-stitched stress-points. All interior seams are bound with high-quality nylon tape.

Heavy-duty suitcase

TRI-ZIP EXTREME
•SIZE: 20" X 13" X 9"
Weight: 4.1 lbs.

A super-heavy-duty version of our popular Tri-Zip, with a 'leather-look.'

• The Tri-Zip Extreme uses a unique, high-tech vinyl material. Firm yet flexible, the suitcase will not wrinkle, crumple, or stain. If it becomes dirty, it can be wiped-down and dried, and dirt will not embed in the fibers. The extreme durability of the material allows it to go through intense usage and abuse without tearing, fraying, or wearing. The weight of the material allows the bag to stand up and hold its shape like a solid case, even when empty, yet it is far lighter than any solid-sided suitcase.
• Full width & length front pocket for personal items such as tickets & passport, etc.
• Roomy middle section, with firm foam padding on both sides and bottom.
• See other features at Tri-Zip, above.
Price: $325.00
Color: Black, Honey

"I just returned from my first trip using the Cygnet. It performed beyond my expectations. These features are particularly appreciated:
1) It is 6.5 pounds lighter than my previous rolling suitcase, 2) it conforms to the shape of the aircraft overhead bin so that I can place it crosswise (wheels facing out) in the bin instead of lengthwise, allowing more bags in the bin 3) the longer handle makes it easier to wheel and 4) numerous pockets.....
I think the Cygnet has appeal for the sophisticated traveler...."
Richard Cheu, Jersey City, NJ - August. 2006
