Extreme Luggage

By Rain Noe - December 18, 2008

For the road warrior, here's a piece of luggage that looks like it's from, well, Road Warrior. If Mad Max had to fight his way through Lord Humongous, the TSA and the baggage clerks at JFK, he would have definitely used a Zuca Pro.

Design features are thoughtful and include an aluminum-alloy frame with a built-in seat (with a 300-pound weight capacity, so feel free to go nuts with your holiday meals), removable packing pouches that stack like drawers, and our favorite feature: "The 4-inch polyurethane wheels absorb shocks and make for a seriously silent ride. And because each wheel is recessed, the bag slides into overheads without a shove or grunt."

The product video below does a decent job of showing you the Zuca Pro's features, and does a horrendous job of providing a soothing commercial. Query for Zuca marketing--whose idea was it to add accordion music?

French accordion is like IN... right? So I bought one and it came two weeks ago. I beat the crap out of it with a bus trip from LA to Dallas, to NY, to London, Paris, Berlin, NY, LA, Beijing, HK, and back to LA. Sometimes I checked it, sometimes I took it on board. It is covered with stickers and stuff but those boofs in baggage evidently found it impossible to trash. It looks like it's been there at least until I peal the stickers off, but nothing broke (thats a first), it works perfect and I am really sold on their packing cube bags, I just line them up on the dresser. How cool is that. I'm buying one for may dad for Christmas.

The functionality is awesome, but those speed holes have to go!

Nice looking luggage there. What worries me though is its weight for check in purposes. I am weary of luggages that are already heavy by itself.
