Néit Collapsible Luggage

While we’ve loved the evolution of hardcase spinners over the last half decade, our wardrobes and garages are suffering for it. Huge cases are struggling to find a place in our ever-decreasing abodes. The Néit wants to fix that, letting you collapse the case when not in use.

Osprey Shuttle

It’s huge. It’s surprisingly light. It can compress and expand. And it’s built with Osprey’s typical attention to detail. If you need to haul lots of sporting gear or work goods, there are few options that will let you do it as conveniently as Osprey’s Shuttle.

Lowe Alpine AT Wheelie

When you first use a wide telescoping handle on tipper wheeled luggage, you start wondering why everyone doesn’t do it this way. You can walk alongside your bag rather than only in front of it, and always find a hand position that feels natural.

Mystery Ranch Ravine

As Mystery Ranch expand into more recreational applications, their awesome design assets are bridging into new areas of use. The wide open access of their 3-Zip configuration is the draw card, but the design has been pushed much further, with innovative pocketing, an excellent adjustable frame, and carry comfort from the masters.

Kathmandu 70L Terrane Adapt

This pack hasn’t been released yet, but we’ve tested an early sample and it’s ready to tackle rural treks and city pavements alike thanks to a hybrid backpack/trolley bag design. The adaptive wheel-set design enables a smooth and quick transition between the different carry modes, while Kathmandu’s C3 Adapt harness provides carry comfort on the move and can be covered to keep things tidy for check-in.

Eagle Creek Cargo Hauler 90L

A well-featured duffel for around $100 that sneaks in just under 1kg. That’s a serious bit of value. Multiple grab handles and backpack straps provide flexible portability, backed by durable construction and a space-saving design that packs into itself for convenient storage.
