Congratulations to Rachel K. from Aurora, Illinois, a new subscriber to the Wanderlust and Lipstick Newsletter for winning this month’s contest!
*****
I’m the queen of carry-on luggage. I will go to great lengths to avoid checking a bag. I’ve just seen too many people have their luggage not make a connecting flight, leaving them without their clothes and essentials for sometimes days into a trip.
I also really like the freedom to get through the airport upon arrival and not have to wait for my bag(s) at the luggage carousel.
Therefore I like to stay on top of what’s new in terms of carry-on bags.
Presenting…the Timbuk2 Copilot Luggage Roller and your chance to win one of these!
I’ve been a Timbuk2 fan for awhile and was delighted to discover this clamshell roll aboard.
“Clamshell” meaning it opens up with each half sporting its own zippered compartment. This makes it easy to separate out items for more organized packing and unpacking (see photo below).
Best of all, it features the skateboard wheels for which Timbuk2 is famous. Seriously, you don’t know just how much nicer it is to roll through an airport with skateboard wheels until you try it yourself.
The Copilot has handles on the top and side as well as a stabilizing leg on the bottom which can be used as a handle. These all make it easier to pull out of the overhead bin. Two mesh pockets on the zippered interior compartment are great for documents or other flat items.
Other features I dig include:
- A large front zippered opening allows for easy access into the main compartment
- An additional exterior pocket is large enough to hold a pair of shoes or other items for which you’d like easy access.
