Walkabout® Lite 2 28" Expandable Rollaboard® Suiter

Airlines are tightening their belts and the effect is apparent in nearly every aspect of travel, including baggage. Many national and international airlines have reduced both the quantity and weight of check-in luggage. This now means that you need to re-think about your check-in luggage and consider upgrading to lightweight luggage in order to avoid being charged additional fees.

Ever since Travelpro invented the very first Rollaboard®, they continue to lead the luggage industry with innovative and value. From Rollaboards® in every size to the most functional totes and duffels, Travelpro maintains steadfast in its mission to satisfy the ever changing needs of the traveling consumer. That’s why Travelpro’s “Pilot Designed, Flight Crew Tested” styles are chosen by over 425,000 airlines professional flight crew members worldwide.

We recommend selecting the largest, sturdiest and most lightweight luggage that you can find(within airline limits). Enter the Walkabout Lite 2 range from Travelpro, an innovative range of luggage that is perfectly designed for the new check-in baggage restrictions. Wasting precious weight on a heavy piece of luggage doesn’t make any sense.

We received the Walkabout® Lite 2 28″ Expandable Rollaboard® Suiter from Travelpro. This stylish, lightweight bag measures 28″ x 20.5″ x 12″ and weighs in at just 12.8lbs. With many airlines setting a weight restriction of 50 pounds per each check-in bag, travelers can maximize this amount by selecting to a lightweight bag such as Walkabout® Lite 2 28″ Expandable Rollaboard® Suiter which will allow you to pack about 37 pounds worth of essentials in your bag, while still keeping within weight limit and avoiding overweight charges.

Looking closely at this bag it is clearly evident that it has been designed by travel professionals with attention to every detail.

EXTERIOR:

The Walkabout® Lite 2 28″ Expandable Rollaboard® Suiter features a Light Weight FlexPro honeycomb frame construction and is made from durable, yet lightweight 1680D Dobby Nylon and is stain resistant to ensure that your luggage remains looking fresh and new. The single-hand center locking retractable handle system is smooth and easy to operate and has a TPR grip for comfort and security. On the outside of the bag, you will find two zippered compartments. One large compartment which can expand to accommodate an item such as a jacket. The second compartment can hold paperwork and other flat objects. The bag features 2 handles. One of the top and the second on the side which will allow you to remove the bag from the conveyor belt at the airport with great ease, without having to contort your body and risk injury trying to reach for the top handle! The wheels are well designed and move smoothly on a variety of terrains. The feet of the bag can rotate 90 degrees to provide extra stability against tipping and rotate back in place while during the flight. A luggage label holder ensures that your details can be accessed by airport personal in the event that the bag goes missing, and can be easily tucked away out of sight for privacy and security. A handy accessory is the “add a bag” strap (included with the bag) which clips to the connector post on the top of the bag. This allows you to attach a “tote” that will hang on the outside of the main bag. The padded zips throughout the bag are ease to grip and make fastening and unfastening the bag very easy.

INTERIOR:

Looking inside the bag from the top you will find a removable deluxe style garment sleeve which will hold shirts or a suit jacket. Once you reach your hotel room, simply remove it, unfold and its ready to go directly into the closet. In the main section of the bag you will find 4 large elasticized compartments which can any travel essentials that need to be accessed easily and quickly, saving you time and frustration. We packed a travel hairdryer, food items, clothing, even shoes into these compartment and were most impressed with how much they hold. On the right side of the main compartment you will find a removable toiletry kit which features 2 large compartments for storing your toiletries. The kit clips securely to the side of the suitcase which ensures that it stays in place during motion. We were able to fit skin care products, make-up as well as first aid essentials in the 2 compartments which have wet pockets in case of spills. The toiletry kit has a hook attached so when you
remove it you can simply hang it in the bathroom of your hotel room. The main compartment of this bag is very spacious and will fit all of your clothing and other essentials with ease. Two straps hold everything in place and unsnap with ease when you are ready to unpack. As the name of the bag suggests, the Rollaboard expands for added capacity which will allow to bring home souvenirs and other goodies. Also included with the bag is a solid brass TSA approved lock for national travel which is a nice bonus.
