Important Notes
This is a checked luggage item and is not intended for carry-on use. While the recessed handle and wheels help optimize interior space, always confirm airline-specific size and weight restrictions before departure. The polycarbonate hardshell is designed to absorb impact and resist cracking, but may show scuffs or surface marks with heavy use—this is normal wear for a travel bag subjected to frequent handling. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools. Please note: the built-in USB port and interior power bank compartment referenced in the U.S. Traveler Boren Collection are exclusive to the 22” carry-on model and are not included or available on this 30” checked-size suitcase.
