BEFORE CROSSING THE FINISH LINE…

Environmental Cycle and UV Light Test Suitcases routinely go from 120 degree tarmac heat to icy cargo holds at 35,000 feet. We test in extreme temperatures, so from Siberia to the Gobi, your case won’t buckle, crack, shrink, expand, distort or otherwise underperform.
Zipper Tensile Test Fact Need to squeeze in one last pair of shoes? No problem. Your zipper has been extensively tested, and won’t tear.

Handle Jerk Test How many times have you hoisted a packed bag by its handle? We put the telescoping handle through a series of pull and jerk tests to make sure it won’t pull out of the case.
Tumble Test We pack the bags to capacity and put them in a large tumbler that tosses them around relentlessly. Cases have to sail through 125 cycles to meet our standards. The competition cracks between 15 and 60 cycles on average.
