What is the Transporter Hardside 40?
The Transporter Hardside is an ultra-tough, weather-resistant piece of travel luggage that's been designed to fit in most airlines' overhead bins. With 40 litres of space, it's the perfect amount for a weekend away.
What is it made of?
The tough shell of the Transporter is made from 80% post-consumer recycled polycarbonate. This offers a high amount of durability and weather resistance in combination with a gasketed frame closure, but more about that below.
What are its features?
The key to the Transporter's weather resistance is down to its gasketed (sealed) closure. It works a little like a car door whereby you have a rubber seal that prevents water ingress, making the bag a brilliant travel companion no matter where you're going. A retractable handle and oversized wheels make it easy to pull around airports, train stations or busy city centres.
Storage-wise it's pretty simple, there's just one large opening with an internal mesh divider; handy for separating clean and dirty clothes. A set of internal compression straps keep everything fastened down if it's not fully packed. If you need extra space, there are a few daisy chain loops on the front that can be used to attach a bungee.
