The exciting carry-on from new brand Arlo Skye mixes functionality with a fashion-forward design to bring stylish luggage into the hands of frequent travelers.
The outside of the carry-on is coated in an aluminum-magnesium alloy that both serves as an extra level of protection and also adds to the sleek design. The material is very scratch-resistant—more than two-times stronger than the commonly used polycarbonate plastic—and comes designed with 2-mm reinforced corners.
The Arlo Skye carry-on also has no zippers but instead features an I-touch open and close frame that comes equipped with TSA-approved locks. Once inside, the owner will find an antimicrobial high-density lining and straps made from vegetable-tanned Italian leather. Additionally, the wheels are made from a patented Japanese material that reduces noise by 15 percent.
But possibly the most impressive thing about the Arlo Skye carry-on is the built-in but removable portable charger that serves as a power outlet with two USB ports to avoid the need to scour the airport for an open outlet or seat at a charging station. The charger is ultra-fast and can charge devices 75-percent faster than conventional chargers.
The best new carry-on on the market comes in three colors (penguin black, sardine silver, and champagne) and is available for pre-order for $495.
