Take Duolite, the new hybrid collection from Antler Luggage. The 91 year old British company—the #1 brand in its homeland—has combined the best qualities of soft and hard luggage to create a feather-light bag that’s also tough as nails.

How feather-light? Try 4.6 lbs. for a 22″ carry-on. 5.5 lbs. for a 26″ upright. And 6.4 lbs. for a 28″ wheeled upright (less than half the weight of the average 14 lb. bag). That means you can pack far more stuff without paying excess baggage fees. That alone should endear these to fee-weary travelers.

Still, “it’s not enough simply to be lightweight,” notes Andrew Hamilton, Antler’s President of North American operations. “It’s meaningless if the bags can’t hold up to rough handling on the tarmac.”  

Hence Duolite’s futuristic design, carefully calibrated for maximum strength. The bag features a lightweight nylon front, hard, rugged ABS rear framing, and a foam-padded back for weightless stability. Subjected to rigorous testing, it boasts a fail-rate of 0.01%.

Weight vs. strength is a paradox that Antler engineers have been addressing for decades, part of their mission to redefine the meaning of lightweight luggage. It’s no coincidence that, in the UK, luggage weighs about one-third less than in US markets.  

In addition to sleek, hybrid construction, Duolite bags feature corner-mounted racing wheels, expanding gussets, time-saving TSA combination locks, and affordable price tags 

22″ Carry-on Upright (4.6 lbs.) – $159 retail

26″ Medium Upright (5.5 lbs.) – $ 179 retail

28″ Large Upright (6.5 lbs.) – $199 retail

Antler Luggage, long the market leader in England, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, entered the U.S. market last year and is quickly winning over American consumers with its quality, lightweight, affordable bags. Antler Luggage can be found in specialty stores nationwide and online at www.antlerusa.com.

Travelling Internationally on US Airlines or within the 50 United States.

The current Carry on Cabin sizes state the bag should be no larger than 45 linear inches to include all handles and the wheels. Normally luggage manufacturers translate the 45 Linear inches as   22” x 14” x 9” (a combined measurement of 45”), or 20” x 16” x 9” which is accepted by all major US airlines.  You may also carry an additional piece which could be a Purse, Lap Top bag or Briefcase.This differs from the European or Asian regulation sizes, .  This means that when travelling in Europe or Asia on a Non US carrier, you could be obliged to check your International sized carry-on into the hold.

Travelling in Europe or Asia on Non US Airlines

There are two standard carry on sizes for use in the rest of the world., which are smaller than the International/USA size:

 21.7” x 13.8” x 7.9” which is accepted by 70% of airlines

and

17.7” x 13.4” x 7.9” which is accepted by 90% of airlines

The carry-on allowance is often only one piece of luggage that can measure no more than the dimensions above, this would include personal items, such as a Purse, Lap Top Bag or Briefcase.  On the majority of airlines, unlike the USA airlines, there is often a weight limit for carry on luggage; sometimes this can be as low as 10Lb.

Airlines frequently changed allowances so  we would always recommend you contact the airlines in advance of your trip to ensure that you have the correct  dimensions and weights allowable for your carry on bags.
