- Durable, water-resistant exterior: Constructed from stain-resistant polyester enhanced with DuraGuard coating, the case resists moisture, spills, and everyday wear. This ensures your belongings stay protected in various environments, from rainy airports to dusty terminals.
- Smooth 360° mobility: Four multi-directional spinner wheels allow effortless rolling in any direction, minimizing fatigue during long walks through terminals or crowded streets. The bottom tray design adds stability and enhances wheel longevity.
- Expandable packing capacity: A high-tensile-strength zipper lets you add up to two extra inches of depth when needed, increasing volume from 39 liters to 41 liters without compromising structural integrity or maneuverability.
- Intelligent interior organization: Includes a full-length lid pocket for documents or accessories, a dedicated side accessory pocket for quick access items like passports or chargers, and adjustable hold-down straps to secure clothes and prevent shifting during transit. Multiple exterior pockets further streamline item retrieval.
- Ergonomic handle system: The PowerScope Lite handle locks securely at two heights—38″ and 42.5″—and features a Contour Grip for comfortable, confident pulling. Top, side, and bottom handles provide added convenience when lifting, loading, or transferring the bag.
