Arlo Skye Aluminum Carry-On Suitcase ($500)
When it comes to traveling light, you usually have to sacrifice either style or function. Not so with the Arlo Skye, a sleek, TSA-approved aluminum carry-on that comes packed with convenient features built for today’s modern-day business traveler.
Beyond its striking good looks, one of the first things you’ll notice about the Arlo Skye is what it lacks—zippers. That’s right, the Skye opens and closes with high-grade clasp closures typically reserved for professional gear cases, making opening and, more importantly, closing it a whole lot easier than more traditional zippered suitcases.
Next is another thing the Arlo Skye lacks—sound. The patented Silent Run Lisof wheels were engineered in Japan to be 15% quieter their polyurethane counterparts, and while that might not sound like much, it makes a rather noticeable difference when rolling through the airport. Or sneaking out of the house.
Another noticeable difference is not having to scramble for an outlet or fight for a charging station everytime your mobile device needs a little juice. The Skye comes with a built-in, TSA-approved battery pack capable of charging your gadgets up to 5 full charges, giving you more than enough power to get you to and from wherever it is you’re going.
And speaking of power, the Arlo Skye’s outer shell is built with a 7 micron anodized aluminum-magnesium shell that’s 2.3 times stronger than traditional polycarbonate shells, ensuring that not only does your luggage stay looking great, but also everything inside it.
There’s a reason why the Arlo Skye has already won multiple international design awards, and with materials and features typically reserved for suitcases twice its price, getting one is a no-brainer for any style-conscious traveler.
