X-TeND KABuTO sMART CARRy-ON XT 2X2

My first thought when I saw the Kabuto Smart was that I was going to need to wear something nicer than my tatty old sweatpants on my next flight, this bag is so handsome you are going to want to look your best whilst travelling so as not to embarrass it. This bag comes in six stunning designs Black Silver, Black Graphite, White Yellow, Graphite, Ink Blue (my personal favourite) and the Black Copper (the model we received). The Kabuto carry-on XT 2×2 is the first expandable smart carry-on, meaning you won’t have to choose between carry-on and checked-in luggage, because this bag gives you the best of both worlds. It comes with a rain proof luggage cover to protect your suitcase, a cloth storage bag, strap for additional bags, a removable 20,000mAh FAA approved battery pack, USB C socket, 2 USB A sockets and 1 micro USB as well as a fingerprint biometric sensor (TSA approved). The suitcase measures up at 55 x 35 x 23cm with a 40Litre capacity but can be extended to 75 x 35 x 23cm with a 60Litre capacity, making a great option for both short and mid length trips, the unique vertical expandability gives 50% extra volume in a matter of seconds and the bag weighs 7.5lbs when empty. The fingerprint scanner means you don’t have to fiddle about with a combination lock or try to find that tiny key, simply place your fingertip on the sensor to open the suitcase, this is a TSA approved lock system and security officers have a master key to open your luggage if necessary, up to 10 fingerprints can be saved and two keys are provided. The removeable battery can charge up to eight smartphones or one laptop (if compatible with USB-C power), there are two easy-access front and back computer pockets, a front pocket for a computer 15 ‘and a 12’ laptop back pocket with integrated USB connection. The handy shoe compartment (13.5cm x 21cm x 33cm) is easily accessible via the bottom of the bag or from the top zippered partition and lets you keep dirty shoes or laundry from touching the rest of your belongings. The two 5.3” wheels can handle all terrains, they are fitted on double ball bearings and rubber tires for a smooth and almost silent ride, it’s a pity it doesn’t have the four-wheel configuration that makes rolling bags through the terminal a breeze, but the ride is so smooth I will forgive it. The telescopic handle has four different heights options, 43”, 41”, 39” and 37" making it suitable for people of a range of heights and share amongst the family. The flat interior maximizes storage, the plastic compound has ABS lamination and is waterproof as well as impact resistant, the retracted dimensions are 55 x 35 x 23 cm and meets the IATA carry on recommendations. This premium suitcase is gorgeous, functional and versatile, it is made to an impeccably high standard as you would expect for its hefty price tag, with lots of features to organise your gear and make traveling more comfortable, you won’t regret the investment.
