Available in James Bond and Moneypenny (via Amazon.com)

Made from 100 per cent polycarbonate in ‘titanium’ or ‘dark pink’, you’ll notice the dual wheels that make your movements ultra-smooth instead of bulky and awkward.

As for the aforementioned security, look for the built-in (TSA-accepted) combination lock, as well as the ultra-durable zipper, that claims to be 41 times more resistant than a standard zipper.

Even at it’s size this carry-on can withstand loads upwards of 1,500 lbs. Unfortunately that’s about 68 times the usual limit.

You might turn some heads with this one, with the expectation that something very important is inside, even if it’s only your Homer Simpson slippers.

Once you’re finished buying your new carry-on, be sure to double check the weight restrictions from whichever airline you’re travelling with, and don’t forget the consult the dreaded TSA checklist as well.

That means no liquids, no over-weight luggage, and no fireworks! They really ruin all the fun.
