TRANSIT'R 4 L + BLACK

The aluminum handle feels much sturdier than my old plastic one, and the TSA lock gave me peace of mind on my trip. It rolled smoothly through the airport even when fully packed, and I appreciated the protective skids on the bottom.

The aluminum tubes make this case feel solid without being overly heavy, and the diamond embossing on the handle gives it a nice grip. I packed both compartments full for a week-long trip, and the wheels rolled smoothly over every surface.

The TSA lock came in handy when I had to recheck my bag at a layover and didn't have to fumble for a key. The aluminum tubes really do make a difference — it survived being tossed around on two flights with barely a scratch.
