The best trolley I've ever had, if you're looking for a Christmas gift here's my recommendation
Durable travel trolley that can be checked in without hassle, or carried in the cabin with low-cost
The Web is full of experts on everything, people reviewing an electric machine today and an immersion blender tomorrow. I wouldn't want to be counted in the category of web allologists And that is why, excluding cards and points, I talk little about products and never about products I don't use, simply to make a living from a few commissions.
In this article:
After having tried at least a dozen different products, of more or less well-known brands, for almost a year now my faithful traveling companion has been the aluminum trolley from Level8. You can see it in the videos and reviews, so. I really speak from personal experience and after at least 80 flights and as many hotels, not after 10 minutes on the sidewalk in front of the house.
Aesthetically clean and pleasing, solid, not too heavy, and above all versatile enough to serve as a side table, work stand, and even to carry clothing when needed. The characteristics that a trolley case must have for me are mainly 4.
#1 must fly low-cost.
I flew with this trolley as carry-on luggage, it is well within the size allowed by low-cost airlines around the world, of course aluminum weighs more than solutions made of lighter materials, but I am also and above all interested in substance.
Did you get your flight cancelled, miss your connection, land late?
You could get up to 600€ compensation per person
Thanks to the new, ultra-capable overhead compartments on the latest aircraft the Gibraltar Alluminium carry on suitcase can safely be placed upright, thus allowing more luggage to be stowed above the passengers' heads without creating any discomfort.
#2 It must be able to be embarked without any "fuss"
It can always happen that we have to board the trolley, and once Freed from any prohibited items in checked baggage, must be handed in at the chek-in desk or to gate attendants.
The suitcase is perfectly fine to travel as checked baggage, TSA-approved double lock, i.e., up to standard for airport inspections without having to be broken into. However, it must be durable to protect the contents and not arrive at its destination in a thousand pieces, which of course can always happen if baggage handlers use them like at an anger management class.
#3 must flow smoothly in all directions
I travel miles with the trolley and for me therefore the smoothness of the suitcase is crucial, especially when in addition to the contents it has to hold the weight of the backpack.
Therefore, I need to be able to dock my backpack and carry it around without fear of it becoming unbalanced or falling off, putting all the electronics I carry with me on every trip at risk. PS if it looks strange to you how the backpack is positioned in this photo it is because of the "fault" of the backpack not the trolley.
#4 must be pleasing to the eye and not cost a fortune
Aesthetics, in this case, is of secondary importance. Sure it comes in two finishes so you can choose the one you like best, but it is a "means of transportation" that sooner or later will be full of marks, so it cannot be an investment in the long run, because sooner or later I get tired of it and want to change. This then also affects the price that I am willing to pay for this type of object.
Level8's Gibraltar perfectly meets these two needs, according to my standards it is aesthetically pleasing and costs the right amount for the product category. Considering that included in the price comes with the internal organizer, protective pouch and a nice luggage tag, non-essential items but have been using them with great satisfaction since I have them.
If you want to see it live in this video I show it in detail, including some optional extras as well.
I give you the discount, you help me grow
Those who would like to buy this suitcase as well as other Level8 products can do it from this link and browse the entire catalog using the discount code TFC10 you are also entitled to a savings of 10% on all orders placed.
PS on the other hand, if you are looking for a suitcase to pack, or a set of suitcases I love the yellow/black trunk, but there is also in other combinations and it has, if you want, the matching trolley.
