My favourite travel brand, TUMI has a brand new range and it has finally arrived in South Africa!
The TUMI Tegra-Lite MAX is everything you’re looking for in a travel companion and I’ll tell you why…
TUMI luggage is just amazing! It not only looks good and high quality that lasts, but I like to call it the “smart travel brand” because it’s made for travel.
Packing a TUMI is smart, maneuvering a TUMI is smart, the whole design and technology behind every TUMI is smart, and I promise you’ll look super cool at the airport too!
I own a TUMI Tegra-Lite carry-on (the range before the MAX), and I always use it. It’s super lightweight, easy to wheel around, but the only thing I would change about it, is to have a front pocket to store my iPad for when I travel.
I guess, TUMI must’ve read my mind when they launched the Tegra-Lite MAX by adding in a clever little front U-zip pocket.
Other exterior features of the Tegra-Lite MAX range include; a 2 inch expansion option (perfect for stuffing in more on your way back), 4-double spinner wheels as well as top, side and bottom handles. The first Tegra-Lite only came with a bottom grab handle.
These bags not only look good, but it’s the construciton of them that makes the Tegra-Lite MAX (and Tegra-Lite) worth every penny.
Tegra-Lite® is constructed from Tegris®, a revolutionary polypropylene thermoplastic composite material created by Milliken® for use in lifesaving armor, Nascar race cars and protective gear for NFL players.
You’ll find a lot of luggage brands bragging about how lightweight and “protective” their luggage is, but just so you know, TUMI has received the worldwide, exclusive rights to use the Tegris material within the travel industry.
So while the other brands may be good, they are not made with the same material that is trusted by NFL players and Nascar drivers, Tegris!
Tegris not only protects, but it is unbelievably lightweight!
With the introduction of Tegra-Lite MAX, TUMI have included new colour options. T-Graphite, Black Cherry and Charcoal were the only options in the Tegra-Lite range, with Tegra-LITE Max, new shades include Sunrise (orange), Herringbrown (brown of course) and Baltic (blue).
Inside the new Tegra-Lite MAX has a few updated features. The one I’m really jealous about is the hanger bracket (that’s a total game changer) which the original Tegra-Lite didn’t feature.
It also has Mesh tie-down straps, two Internal Zip pockets and a Suiter Section, that keeps your suits and longer garments crisper. I have this feature in my Tumi Arrivé, so I know how fantastic this option is.
Prices for the Tegra-Lite Max start at R11 999.00 for a carry on, up to R16 499.00 for the packing case.
Pop into a TUMI store (there’s one at OR Tambo, Sandton City and the V&A Waterfront) and check out the Tegra-Lite MAX range!
