Suitcase without zippers and with charging for devices

Tell me, did you often lose your suitcase when traveling? But did you have to pay extra for excess weight at the check-in because you simply did not have time to weigh your baggage before departure? Are you familiar with the unpleasant situations with lightning, wheels and other telescopic handles?

It seems that all these problems with luggage at some point just got the guys from the New York startup project Trunkster , who decided to create a standard example of a modern suitcase - utilitarian, durable and stylish.




And what’s most important, it’s true not to say so unexpected - there weren’t as many people with similar problems as the amount of the fund they provided: more than 650 backers and more than $ 230,000 of investments (this is with the stated goal of $ 50,000 !).

But what did the former backpackers buy, who decided to exchange their ruined backpacks for holes for this miracle of design and engineering?

The project presents two types of suitcases - Carry-On and Cheked with a capacity of 43 and 86 liters, respectively. The supporting structure and side walls are made of durable and lightweight aircraft aluminum. But the access system inside the luggage is really revolutionary and is made according to the principle of sliding shutters made of hard and solid polycarbonate, matted in black.



By the way, to help all amateurs, or rather amateurs, to cram everything that is possible into the luggage, a special “ramming” mechanism is developed, combined with a closing panel.

The emphasis on travel enthusiasts with little luggage is no coincidence - the startup emphasizes the versatility of its suitcases. And the project’s marketing strategy - this is the same backpack, only more reliable, roomy, more functional and stylish - finds its bright embodiment in the key details of the product.

A rigid telescopic handle for the entire width of the suitcase - remember how often you yourself suffered with narrow handles and luggage trying to roll over.

Practical wheels with ceramic bearings and a working surface of the latest rubber compound - asphalt, cobblestones, paving slabs and even steps will not do them any harm.

Well, so that all these performance characteristics do not remain promotional, the founders of the startup - a full exclusive among all projects on Kickstarter, provide a 5-year warranty on both of their models. Still have questions?

Probably not. But there are additional chips in Trunkster suitcases that make them an absolute exclusive in the luggage market.

So, in order.

Firstly, the display built into the pen at the time of lifting the suitcase shows its weight - now you will not have problems registering, you can distribute things in advance:



Secondly, a battery is built into the suitcase, on one charge of which you can charge your phone to 9 times - now no throwing around the airport building and the streets of an unfamiliar city with outstretched wiring in hand:



Well, the most, maybe, the main thing - from a value point of view for sure - this is an additional GPS-sensor (+40 $), functioning on the principle of Apple's “Find My Mac”. That is, in extreme cases, at least you will find a suitcase.

Which, incidentally, is not bad in itself, given how much this miracle costs, or rather, it will cost after the funding is completed. Namely: Carry-On - $ 500, Cheked - $ 600. However, if you invest now with a delivery time in August 2015, then the prices will be $ 255 and $ 295, respectively.

The weight of the suitcase of the Carry-On version is approximately 3.5 kg, with the package it will pull about 4.2 kg. With LiteMF it can be sent to Moscow for $ 59.
