TUMI 19 Degree Front Access Expandable Carry-On in Salt - 158991-2151
TUMI 158991-2151 19 Degree Front Access Expandable Carry-On in Salt
Cleverly crafted to accommodate even the tightest spaces, the TUMI 19 Degree Front Access Expandable Carry-On seamlessly blends the collection's iconic sculpted contours with the versatility of front-lid entry. This premium polycarbonate hardside case is designed for frequent leisure and business travelers who value organized packing, distinctive style and adaptable capacity. At 21.8 x 14.0 x 9.5 in, the 38 L case weighs 8.5 lb and is sized for carry-on travel1.
The front-lid zip entry provides a practical way into the main compartment when there is not enough room to open a conventional clamshell case. Inside, compression straps help secure and condense clothing, while two mesh zip pockets keep smaller essentials separated and visible. When a trip calls for additional packing room, the zip expansion increases the case depth from 9.5 to 11.5 in. This adaptable layout supports streamlined packing before departure and extra capacity for the return journey.
Travel-day handling is equally considered. A 3-stage telescoping handle adjusts the rolling height, while retractable top and side handles make it easier to lift the case from different orientations. Four dual outboard wheels support smooth, quiet movement in multiple directions, and an integrated TSA-approved combination lock adds built-in security for packed belongings. A monogram patch and luggage tag bring personal identification to the exterior, while TUMI Tracer offers a complimentary program intended to help reunite customers with a lost or stolen registered item. Behind the design is TUMI's focus on performance, with product testing created to simulate life on the move.
Key Features
Protect Your Precious Cargo
The TSA-approved combination lock is integrated into the luggage, helping secure valuable contents while allowing TSA agents to inspect the case without damaging the lock or belongings.
Wheels That Go the Distance
Each Dual Outboard Wheel component uses metal ball bearings to reduce friction during rotation. A protective shaft positioned outside each wheel disc helps limit dust and dirt buildup for smoother, quieter travel.
Zip Expansion
The expansion system provides flexible room for spontaneous souvenirs or extra packing. Zip it open when plans require more capacity, then close it when the added space is no longer needed.
Built To Last-Tested To Perform
TUMI subjects every product to up to 70 unique tests designed to simulate life on the move. Published callouts for this carry-on include 2,000 zipper cycles, 2,500 handle drops and yanks, 750 stair-step cycles, and up to four hours of mileage testing at 3 to 8 miles per hour. Additional evaluations address steady rain pressure, seam strength and tearing strength.
