•  Opens like a suitcase to make packing easy
•  2 inside zippered pockets (one on each end) made from Dry Finish Tin Cloth, each 7 1/2" x 16"
•  1 large zippered pocket on inside of main flap 10" x 16"
•  2 pouch pockets
•  Designed for shoes or small garments such as underwear or socks
•  Each pouch can fit one shoe or a pair, depending on the size of the shoes
•  Bottom of main compartment lined with Dry Finish Tin Cloth (Dark Tan) or Shelter Cloth (Otter Green)
•  Pair of elastic straps to secure your packed clothing
•  Storm flap secured by 2 bridle leather straps that buckle in front
•  Two-way brass zipper with leather pulls, brass padlock, and keys
•  Outside front zippered pocket (uses two-way brass zipper with brass padlock and keys)
•  We don't put leather pulls on this pocket's zipper because field-testing taught us that luggage is often placed face-down on the conveyor belts during airline handling to prevent the bag from rolling. The leather pulls on this zipper sometimes get caught in the conveyor belt.
•  Retractable plastic handle extends 19 1/2" but has only one fully extended position-no middle position
•  2 extra thick bridle leather handgrips (one on top and one on the side)
•  The handgrip on the top is for carrying the bag when the retractable handle is not in use, when riding an escalator, for example. The handgrip on the side is for maneuvering the bag in and out of overhead compartments.
•  2 ball-bearing roller-blade wheels on bottom corners, in solid molded plastic wheel housings
•  We chose ball-bearing roller-blade wheels because they are very durable, and the ball bearings make a smoother roll, with less friction on the internal parts, for longer wear.
•  2 solid molded plastic feet to stand this bag upright
•  Some customers may notice that the bag leans backwards slightly when stood upright. This compensates for an over-packed bag, which would fall forward if it stood straight up at 90 degrees.
•  2 rubber sled runners on the bottom
•  Sled runners and wheels are aligned to work together to prevent catching on curbs or stairs
•  Bridle leather kick plate reduces scuffing
•  Many people brace a foot against the base of the bag when they pull out the retractable handle, so this area sees a lot of wear.
•  Plastic honeycomb body gives the bag shape and supports it when upright
•  We chose hollow-core plastic honeycomb for the bottom plate to reduce weight, but we are
•  confident that it is strong enough to stand up to any load you can pack in this bag.
•  Rugged Twill panels hide the honeycomb plastic on the sides
•  Made in USA
