The Lucas Outlander Hard Case collection has managed to strike up a great balance on the long lying trade-off between lightweight and durability. This lucas luggage carry on has been designed with this concept in mind, showcasing lightweight aluminum, designed to be ultra-shock absorbent. With the shell being made from ABS it is much superior to polycarbonate, being scratch-resistant and shockproof. Lucas has really set a benchmark that the competition needs to take on board and quickly follow. It is worth noting that with all carry-ons, it is only useful if it can fit in the overhead lockers and be allowed on as cabin luggage, having been extensively tested, you can be assured that the Lucas Outlander fits the bill and will not leave you with a shock when traveling. Get the complete review of the Lucas Outlander Luggage Carry-On Hard Case in detail from every aspect:
Design
The Lucas Outlander carry on has been designed with a balance between durability, weight, and comfort in mind. You will feel secure in the knowledge that this bag in there ready for your trip for the long run. The ABS shell and aircraft grade aluminum will ensure that the bag is strong yet lightweight. The corners and stress points are reinforced even further, giving you that extra peace of mind. Coming with four spinner wheels, it will provide you with a confident, stable, and silent carry-on bag when in use. These wheels are far superior to the inline wheels you find in cases such as the American Tourister Fieldbrook II line of suitcases. They will be great on flat surfaces such as in the airport, however, take them onto uneven or carpeted grounds and you will be in a bit of trouble and really have to work to get your suitcase to follow you. The handles on the top and side look to be strong, reinforced handles. Giving you the confidence that when you pick up your suitcase to store in the overhead lockers it will not fail on you!
Storage
Featuring a storage capacity of 29 L, this spacious carry-on will allow you to bring a lot of your items. Although not as spacious as the Travelpro Maxlite 4 21″ Expandable Spinner, which holds a massive 51 L, you do, however, get a hard case, with no chance of overfilling and it is sure to fit in the overhead bins. As it is a hard-sided suitcase, it does not have any exterior pockets. You will find that inside it showcases mesh zip lined pockets on one side, allowing you to pack loose items or important documents, ready to access easily. On the opposite side, the main compartment for your clothes. The x-strap will help keep your clothes in place, neat and tidy while you are going about your journey.
Features
The durable, lightweight Lucas Luggage Carry On does come with most of the features that you expect from your luggage today. The telescopic handle will lock in position, enabling you to push or pull the suitcase, so you are not in a tricky position. The four spinner wheels will make sure very little effort is needed to use navigate the airport terminals. The scratch-resistant, textured, hard-sided shell will ensure that all your valuables inside remain safe and secure, especially when knocked or bumped which is inevitable when trying to get through the hoards of people each carrying their suitcase which has a mind of its own.
Weight
The Lucas Outlander carry-on weighs in at 6.5 lbs, considering the construction and durability, I believe this to be a good compromise on weight and strength. It is not as light as the ultra-lightweight IT Luggage Los Angeles carry-on which weighs in at the nearly half at 3.6 lbs. The Lucas Outlander is a hard-sided suitcase, which inevitably means a higher weight, but more protection for the items inside.
Durability
This Lucas Outlander Luggage Carry-On has been built with durability in mind, it will be difficult to find a previous customer with a complaint on the durability or construction of this carry-on. With a shell made from ABS, it is strong, shockproof, and scratch-resistant. The telescopic handle has been made from aircraft grade aluminum, so you can be sure that there will be no issues with how well it will hold up to luggage life.
Style
Coming in four different colors, you can opt for the graphite color if you are looking at being less obvious at the airport. Available also in burgundy, blue, and purple, you will be sure to find a color that best matches your personality. Featuring vertical stripes, the suitcase looks the part. Stylish, sleek, and ready to be showcased around the world while you are on your travels.
Size
The Lucas Outlander hard case carry-on measures up at 21.8 X 13.5 X 9 inches, including the wheels. As it is hard-sided, you will not have to worry about over packing the suitcase and it being ineligible as cabin baggage. It has been extensively tested to fit in most airlines overhead lockers, although if tighter restrictions are put in place you will need to check with your airline carrier to ensure it still meets their requirements.
Warranty
This Lucas Luggage Carry On is covered by a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty. It seems that Lucas is confident on the construction and longevity of their suitcase and you should too. With very limited to no complaints from previous customers, a good 5 years worth of use will be very good value for money.
