Heys XCASE-XL
The xcase-XL is the worlds lightest luggage set.
Wow! We bought the Heys Cruzer2 and LOVED it!! Now we have an xcase-XL and it is even better!
With the divider, it took having to pack, unpack and repack to get used to dividing everything. The first time it was topsy turvy, but once I got the knack of it, now it is a cinch!
In orange, YES, orange, can you imagine how easy it was to spot the luggage to reclaim in to go through US Customs when we departed Aruba? You can spot it a mile away on any baggage carousel for that matter. Dh researched this purchase pretty thoroughly and for the money this was about the best luggage he could find in this weight and price range.

Lightweight Luggage
The xcase-XL is the worlds lightest luggage set.
- 30" Upright (30" x 20" x 12"; 9.8 lbs)
- 26" Upright (26" x 17" x 11"; 7.2 lbs)
- 20" Upright (20" x 14" x 10"; 5.2 lbs)
- A blend of Polycarbonate and ABS mixed into the shell makes the xcase-XL extremely durable
- The Polycarbonate allows the shell to absorb impact by 'flexing' when under heavy stress
- The ABS is then added to give the shell greater rigidity so that it will not permanently deform when under pressure but instead 'pop' back up into its original shape
- The xcase-XL is the lightest set meaning now with the airlines becoming more and more restrictive on allowable weight, this lightweight luggage set is definitely your best choice of luggage as it allows you to pack more
