19 Degree Aluminium Large Cabin
Tumi · £1,050
It’s good, but we think this is better: Carl Friedrik The Carry-on, £527
An aluminium 56cm cabin case with the fluted shell Tumi are known for, and it is the most distinctive thing in this category. Aluminium is also the part that ages worst: a reviewer who ran a polycarbonate case for a year found its shell in better shape than an aluminium roller would be, because aluminium takes dings and keeps them. Buy it because you want aluminium, and know that is what you are buying.
