Welcome to Talking Points , a series that looks at what makes certain products worth talking about, brought to you by Gear Patrol Studios . When you think about taking a long trip, do you find yourself thinking about whether your luggage is up to the task? If so, it might be time for an upgrade. Look no further than the Transit’R 4 S from Eastpak. The durable carry-on is built to last — and built with convenience in mind. Whether you’re rolling up hills or across cobblestones; with it, travel becomes a breeze. The Backstory Eastpak: Built to Last Eastpak has been making high-quality bags since 1952. The brand originally got its start making gear for the U.S. military, so you know its products are rugged. Eastpak believes in its bags so deeply that it offers a 30-year warranty on all of its products. In 1976 Eastpak began making bags for college students. And while its end-user changed, its ethos — using robust materials and quality construction to create products that last, no matter what life throws at you — remained. The brand frequently partners with creative collaborators to inject new life into its legendary designs, meaning there’s always a fun and exciting style or colorway that will help you express yourself as you move throughout your day. The Gist Why Is the Transit’R 4 S Worth Talking About? The Transit’R 4 S has always been one of Eastpak’s go-to four-wheeled carry-on bags, but recent upgrades have made it better than ever. It has a new handle, diamond emboss at the top and lightweight aluminum poles. It also has canvas handles on the body of the bag to make it a breeze to load and unload in the overhead compartment, and an integrated TSA lock for added security. On the inside you’ll find double zippered compartments, which are designed to keep you organized while you’re on the road. New protective skids help keep your bag in tip-top shape for many years to come. If that's not enough, fans can also shop two slightly larger versions of the bag: The Transit’R 4 M and Transit’R 4 L . Plus, if you're a sucker for the classics, there's nothing wrong with sticking things out with the brand's classic Transit’R S bag — which also has its own medium and large versions as well. Our POV The Transit’R 4 S Is the Only Luggage You’ll Ever Need Travel can be stressful. The things you choose to bring with you should help make your day — and your life — a little easier.
