Creating Our Luggage

To make the perfect luggage we knew we needed more than state-of-the-art feature sets. We’d also need best-in-class factory partners and a seamless production process.

Polycarbonate pellets — 70% recycled road barricade material, 30%
first-use polycarbonate — are broken down, melted and laminated
into sheets.

The polycarbonate sheets are cut, heated and vacuum-formed into durable EcoSystem™ Hardshell.

Performance Testing

You need luggage tough enough for the way you actually travel. That’s why we performance-tested every piece to the highest standard.

Drop Test

Made to take on even the toughest trips. We drop our luggage from 1.28ft / 1m in multiple weighted tests to guarantee its impact strength.

Tumble Test

We pack our luggage with 15kg–25kg’s of weight and place it in a rotating barrel to simulate impacts during transportation, so you know it can survive rough handling.

Wheel Mileage Test

We roll our Hinomoto wheels on a treadmill with bumps for 12.43 miles / 20km to simulate difficult terrain, so you know your luggage can keep up with you.

Trolley Handle Jerk Test

You need a handle that can survive whatever you throw at it. We suspend our luggage and subject it to sudden lifts and drops to test the strength of the trolley handle.

Trolley Handle Cycle Test

We test repeat-use performance on our trolley handle using a machine that extends and closes the trolley handle 3000 times, so you can pull it or lift it everywhere you go.

Freeze and Impact Test

Designed for all temperatures. We put our luggage through a series of impact tests after holding it in an industrial freezer set at -18°C.
