Summer is like any other time of the year, busy, and for our family we’ve been doing a lot of press trips and have more to come.  We need a travel companion, by way of luggage, that is going to be easy on the go, fit a majority of our belongings, and have the flexibility to move from car, to shuttle, to plane, and more!

This new collection offers the ideal combination of lightweight durability, functionality and affordability for the frequent business and leisure traveler.

Our Take:  We received the  24″ Expandable Rollaboard Suiter and love it so far!  Something we have had the problem with in the past with luggage is the zippers, the piece has aself-repairing zipper system that closes consistently and doesn’t bulge or skip.  The zipper pull are also strong to help keep the pressure even all around the case.  The telescoping handle stops at 38 and 43 inches and is great for the kids to pull along and the case itself is very lightweight, even packed.  So many extra compartments and pockets allow for keys, iPods, and more. The removable garment suiter is genius and helps with clean vs. dirty–we always grab the plastic bag from the closets in hotel rooms to do this, now we don’t have to, or can use it for something else!

The front pouches held my laptop, cord, maps and so much more on the last trip, I was amazing how much punch this Rollaboard case could hold!  I was looking forward to using it in my upcoming trips solo to Tempe and San Diego, but after filling it for a recent 4-day trip with clothes for FOUR of us, we’re also taking it to Hawaii with us in August!  It’s good for an individual and can store for a family!
