It’s no secret that one of my favorite pastimes is scouting out cool luggage. As travelers, nice quality luggage should be a top priority whether we travel weekly, daily or monthly and it always makes for a great gift. Since the holidays are upon us, today we are teaming with Luggage Online who is offering our readers the chance to win an amazing piece of luggage: the High Sierra Elevate 22-inch ($110).
Before we tell you how to enter for your chance to win, we’d like to point out some of the features of this good-looking piece of luggage. To start, it’s constructed of High Sierra’s Grid-Weave Duralite, Mini-Weave Duralite and Duraweave. It has a recessed, telescoping lightweight aluminum handle system with locking mechanism, padded top and side carry handles and a must-have tow-strap for attaching an extra bag.
Inline skate-style wheels, are inset in protective corner-mounted housings which makes for easy airport maneuvering. We love pockets and luckily the High Sierra Elevate has plenty including a lower front pocket for holding magazines and other small items while the upper front pocket can easily contain airline tickets or travel necessities. The main compartment expands two inches and has a book-style opening, a large mesh pocket with an interior clothing hold-down straps. Keep in mind you always have the option of purchasing luggage sets for all of your travel needs.
To top it off, the reviews I found online are fantastic! In fact, our ColoradoGal reviewed this for Practical Traveler and gave it a glowing review especially for it’s light weight of only 6.8 lbs. She says, “I sure appreciate its light weight when hefting it into planes’ overhead bins or onto airport-security counters.” That’s something we can all relate to.
