The new Tranzshell Multiwheel suitcase by Eastpak weighs just 4.1kg but more than robust enough to protect your belongings.

It doesn’t matter how well you prepare for a long-haul flight, if your belongings do not arrive at their destination safely – iPad screen intact, cologne still in its bottle, Oxford lace-ups pristine – your trip could turn sour before you’ve even had the obligatory argument with the airport taxi driver. Obviously, one cannot prepare for negligent airlines misplacing baggage, but you can ensure that you invest in luggage that will fully protect its precious cargo. This is something Eastpak – a company founded in 1952 as a purveyor of bags to the US Army, and whose core principles are quality and durability – understands all too well. And its latest suitcase, the Tranzshell Multiwheel, is physical proof of that fact. Two generous, zipped compartments will ensure you can fit all your personal affects in this suitcase, which measures 77cm high and 43 cm wide. And the durable foam/canvas exterior will keep everything safe and sound.

What’s more, it comes with a TSA-approved lock – giving you that extra piece of mind. The royal blue hue, while rather stylish, also has the practical benefit of making this suitcase extra hard to misplace. Even if you’ve had a few drinks too many at the business lounge bar. But what’s the point of a suitcase that looks good, takes care of its contents, but is impossible to move once you heave it from the carousel? Using lightweight materials in its construction, the Tranzshell weighs a measly 4.1kg. What’s more, it has four 360-degree wheels – meaning you can navigate even the busiest of airports with ease. All you have to do is make sure you catch your flight…
