With the holiday season upon us, it’s time to start thinking about the travel bags that will accompany us to our Christmas destinations. If you favor high tech goodies, the new Trip bag from Travelteq will definitely do the trick.
This bag reminds me more of a Decepticons robot than a suitcase. A kangaroo compartment in the front opens to allow easy access to your laptop. The hard shell then converts into a chair, so you can sit down and surf the web while you’re waiting in the airport lounge. More technology comes in the form of a USB port, which can charge your cell phone and camera while you’re traveling. Choose the Trip Sound and your bag can even double as an iPod dock, with its integrated sound system with detachable speakers.
While the tech appeal will attract gadget loving girls, it’s good to note that the suitcase itself is also cleverly designed. The aluminum body is as tough as it is lightweight. The Trip tips the scales at just 14 pounds, but it can support more than 300 pounds of weight in seat mode. Its wheels run on skate bearings so it can turn this way and that as you’re navigating the airport.
At an introductory price of €595 for the standard model, or €650 for the Trip Sound, this travel bag will likely cost more than your vacation will. But if you’re a frequent flyer it might be worth splashing out. Both models are available from the Travelteq website.
