Key Features
- PrecisionGlide Mobility System: Eight ultra-durable 360° MagnaTrac self-aligning spinner wheels ensure smooth, stable movement in any direction. These wheels automatically align to reduce drag and minimize strain on your arms and shoulders—ideal for long walks across airports. The patented PowerScope aluminum handle offers four ergonomic height settings (36″, 38″, 40″, and 42.5″) with a comfortable Contour Grip, allowing users of different heights to pull the suitcase with ease.
- Stable Expansion with TSA Lock: A tapered expansion zipper adds up to 2 inches of extra packing volume when needed, giving you flexibility for souvenirs or last-minute items. Despite the added capacity, the design maintains a low center of gravity to prevent tipping. The integrated TSA-approved combination lock (default code: 0-0-0) allows Transportation Security Administration personnel to inspect your luggage during screening while keeping your contents secure.
- Eco-Friendly, Water-Resistant Interior: The interior lining uses EcoFab fabric made entirely from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles—equivalent to 12.5 bottles per suitcase. This sustainable material is enhanced with H2O Guard technology, creating water-resistant storage compartments that help protect clothes, electronics, and accessories from moisture during transit. Multiple pockets and interior hold-down straps keep everything neatly arranged and easy to find.
- Durable Zippers & Wrinkle Protection: Premium YKK zippers deliver reliable performance through years of use, with an included repair kit for quick fixes if snags occur. The removable fold-out suiter protects hanging garments from creasing during travel, helping you arrive looking sharp whether you’re headed to a business meeting or a weekend destination.
- Trusted Coverage & Durability: Backed by the industry-leading Built For a Lifetime Limited Warranty, this suitcase is designed to endure countless journeys. An additional 3-year Trusted Companion Promise covers damage caused by airlines or other common carriers—just register online to activate coverage.

Benefits & Use Cases
This checked suitcase is purpose-built for the modern traveler who values efficiency, protection, and peace of mind. Its medium size makes it suitable for domestic flights, short international trips, or as a reliable second bag in your travel rotation. The expandable feature provides extra room when you need it—perfect for returning home with gifts or packing for a spontaneous extension to your itinerary. The water-resistant interior and well-organized pockets are especially valuable in humid climates or rainy destinations, where sudden downpours can threaten valuables and clothing.
The PrecisionGlide Mobility System ensures smooth rolling over various airport surfaces—from polished concrete to carpeted terminals—reducing fatigue and improving control. Whether you’re navigating crowded gates or rushing between connections, the eight self-aligning wheels glide quietly and steadily. The four-stop PowerScope handle accommodates users of varying heights, ensuring a comfortable grip for everyone in the family.
For business travelers, the removable suiter keeps suits, dresses, and blazers free of wrinkles, eliminating the need for ironing upon arrival. Combined with interior compression straps and accessory pockets, this suitcase supports efficient packing and unpacking—critical when time is limited. The TSA lock adds an extra layer of security without sacrificing convenience, letting you comply with airline regulations while protecting your belongings.
Important Notes
Airline size and weight restrictions vary by carrier and fare class; always confirm maximum checked baggage allowances before your trip. The TSA lock comes preset to 0-0-0 and should be changed immediately after purchase using the reset instructions provided. To qualify for the 3-year airline damage coverage, register your product online within the specified timeframe. While the suitcase is highly durable, proper handling during loading and unloading at baggage claim will extend the life of the wheels and zippers. The included repair kit allows minor zipper adjustments, but significant damage may require professional service under warranty.
