TUMI Alpha Garment Carry-On in Black - 161820-1041
TUMI 161820-1041 Alpha Garment Carry-On in Black
Built for travelers who demand more from every journey, the TUMI Alpha Garment Carry-On is an indispensable companion for the frequent flyer. Its slim, 34 L wheeled profile is well suited to maneuvering down narrow airplane or train aisles while carrying suits, garments and travel essentials. A zip opening provides direct access to the main garment compartment, where a zip garment curtain accommodates up to two suits. A Wally clip and compression straps help manage hanging apparel and other packed contents, bringing intentional order to business trips and formal travel.
Thoughtful storage continues throughout the black carry-on garment bag. Two open pockets, two mesh zip pockets and an additional zip pocket separate smaller necessities for easier packing and retrieval. Two removable zip pouches with webbing handles extend that organization beyond the case, and one is water-resistant for items that benefit from added separation. On the exterior, a front U-zip pocket, two front zip pockets and a straight zip pocket keep frequently needed travel gear close at hand. A retractable top carry handle, a side webbing grab handle with a leather accent and a hanging hook provide practical options for lifting, carrying and using the bag at your destination.
Engineered for performance and everyday versatility, the Alpha Collection blends streamlined design, enhanced organization, advanced travel technology and timeless sophistication. This case is crafted from premium, ultra-durable FXT Ballistic Nylon to stand up to life on the move. A 5-stage telescoping handle and four signature dual outboard wheels provide adjustable control and multidirectional mobility, while a built-in TSA combination lock helps secure the main compartment. The Add-a-Bag sleeve lets you stack the case with compatible luggage, and integrated AirTag Pocket and TUMI Tracer features support a more connected approach to keeping track of your bag. A monogram patch and luggage tag finish the design with options for personalization and traveler identification.
Key Features
Pack Like a Pro
Formalwear stays contained behind the zip garment curtain, with room for up to two suits. The Wally clip supports hanging pieces, while compression straps and dedicated pockets give travel essentials their own places inside the case.
Wheels That Go the Distance
Metal ball bearings minimize friction as each Dual Outboard Wheel rotates. A protective shaft outside every wheel disc is designed to prevent dust and dirt from collecting, supporting the effortless, soundless movement engineered into the wheel system.
Singular in Strength, Diverse in Function
TUMI first brought ballistic nylon to the consumer market more than 30 years ago and refined it as exclusive FXT ballistic fabric. Its specialized weave and coating make the material durable and virtually abrasion proof compared with standard ballistic nylon.
Built To Last-Tested To Perform
Every product undergoes up to 70 unique tests designed to simulate life on the move. Materials experience steady rain pressure for at least 16 hours at 72 degrees F, zippers complete 2,000 opening and closing cycles, and handles endure drops and yanks for 2,500 cycles.
Additional methods examine seam and tearing strength at 300 mm/min. Carry-ons complete 750 stair-step cycles, while weighted four-wheeled products are mileage-tested for up to four hours at speeds from 3 to 8 miles per hour.
