Awesome Tumi

TUMI offers a modern spin on classic aluminum luggage. Each of these 19 Degree bags has an aircraft-grade aluminum shell stamped with a dynamic pattern at a 19º angle. Models include continental, international, and compact carry-ons, an extended trip case, a backpack, a rolling trunk, and a briefcase. The bags come in silver, black, blue, green, and rose.

TUMI teamed up with McLaren to develop luggage, bags, and accessories that embody the aerodynamic, technical style of race cars. At the top of the line is this 4-wheel carry-on, made from durable Tegris with CX6 carbon fiber accents. It offers easy access via its front lid and center zipper, and expands from 9″ D to 11″ D.

Just about the only thing ugly about this bag is it’s steep price. But since it can also transform into a suitcase and a tote bag, think of it as getting three bags for the price of one three bags.

Tumi’s new Tegra-Lite hard-shell luggage made are from Tegris – a plastic composite used in armor as well as for NASCAR and NFL gear – making them lightweight without sacrificing durability.

Protect and carry your laptop in style with this deluxe leather backpack from Tumi. Its laptop compartment accommodates laptops up to 15″. It also has lots of exterior and interior pockets.

Versatility is the name of the game with Tumi’s new Alpha Bravo bags; like the original Alpha line it features waterproof FXT ballistic nylon, but adds unstructured day bags and duffels.

Tumi’s Alpha Limited Edition features lightweight luggage and bags made with FXT ballistic nylon, red accents, gray lining, and a Tumi LE plaque–yet is cheaper than the regular edition.

Tumi’s Vapor line of luggage is both lightweight and durable: each boasts a triple-layered polycarbonate case, protective bumpers, and a graphic exterior that reduces surface marks.

Part of Tumi’s all-black Townhouse collection, the Montague Duffel may be carry-on size but sports a secondary gadget compartment, ticket pocket, and extended luggage handles.

With inverted zippers and a helmet pocket, Tumi’s water and abrasion resistant Beijing Backpack is perfect for motorcyclists; other nifty features: a water bottle holster and top handle.

Ideal for the gym or as an overnighter, Tumi’s Sport Duffel comes in their limited Alpha Yellow colorway; made with ballistic nylon, its many pockets include a shoe/wet compartment.

Essentially a wallet with a vertical form factor, this Tumi Passport Case is ideal for frequent flyers with a special passport slot; ballistic nylon and leather trim ups the style ante.

Tumi’s latest line of high-end bags honors Ducati for its 2007 Grand Prix win. Our favorite is the Ducati Moto, designed for motorcycle riders with a flexible pocket to hold a helmet.
