We bought our American Tourister Spinner 81cm Suitcase before we travelled to Nepal in 2020. We chose bright orange and it turned out to be an excellent choice - not only is the vibrant colour eye-catching, but it also makes the case stand out on the luggage carousel. This is a case for travelers who need ample packing space without compromising on style or durability.
The newer model of our case, Light Max 82cm, is impressively spacious, accommodating long trips or those who tend to pack on the heavier side. Despite its size, it’s surprisingly lightweight at only 4kg, which means you won’t have to worry about exceeding airline weight limits. The 360-degree spinner wheels ensure smooth maneuverability, making it a breeze to navigate through crowded airports or city streets.
Constructed from durable polypropylene, the suitcase can withstand the rigors of travel while keeping your belongings safe. I once packed our case with 6 stone carved light fixtures, a stone candle holder and various wooden ornaments along with all of our clothes and toiletries - it was ridiculously heavy- and it managed to stay in one piece AND protect everything inside, much to my surprise. Inside, it offers organized compartments, expandability and adjustable straps to keep everything in place. The handle is sturdy and ergonomic, providing comfort during extended use.
Overall, the American Tourister Spinner/Light Max Suitcase is a fantastic investment for travelers seeking reliability, style, and functionality. Its range of colours add a fun, bold touch to your travel gear, ensuring your luggage stands out wherever you go.
The Tag8 Passport Wallet and Travel Organizer has been an excellent choice for us. Previously, we lugged all our travel documents in an old document wallet from our kids school days - not the most practical or organised solution. With its sleek design, this wallet accommodates multiple passports, boarding passes, cards, and currency, ensuring all your essential travel documents are well-organized and easy to access. The RFID protection adds an extra layer of security, safeguarding your personal information from theft. Additionally, the durable material and compact size make it convenient for both short trips and longer adventures. Whether you're a solo traveler or traveling with family, this wallet will keep everything in one place, providing peace of mind and ease during your journey. It also has the option to register the wallet and your passports with Tag8, who offer a lifetime, global lost and found service at no extra cost. If your passport is registered with them and in the case at the time it's lost, and they can't help reunite you with it in the event it's lost - they will reimburse you the cost of a replacement.
