Tough Traveler

TRAVEL LUGGAGE:Tough Traveler luggage is truly made to last. We start with the highest quality materials, then use excellent, unique designs and superior workmanship to produce suitcases, wheeled luggage, and carry-ons that will serve your needs for years - or even decades! Plus, every one of our bags is made in America!

This luggage is soft, but much of it has 'structure,' so it is lightweight yet holds a shape. Many of the pieces will collapse or fold down to fit narrow spaces, making Tough Traveler luggage easy to store when not in use.

Travelers have traveled near and far with Tough Traveler brand luggage for over 35 years!

"[Tough Traveler's Trizip is a] great bag as carry on for long trips. 3 times this past year my luggage did not arrive on trips to remote places. The Tri-Zip carried enough so that I could function for the days til the next flight arrived." Bob Nakamura, NY

" I have used [the Tri-Zip] on both European and Asian Travels, mainly by air but also by rail. The dimensions and the internal organization have endeared the bag so with me that I have recommended it to colleagues and friends who face similar travel arrangements." Kevin Larkin, Germany

"I just returned from my first trip using the Cygnet. It performed beyond my expectations. These features are particularly appreciated:
1) It is 6.5 pounds lighter than my previous rolling suitcase, 2) it conforms to the shape of the aircraft overhead bin so that I can place it crosswise (wheels facing out) in the bin instead of lengthwise, allowing more bags in the bin 3) the longer handle makes it easier to wheel and 4) numerous pockets.....
I think the Cygnet has appeal for the sophisticated traveler...."
