Vx Touring Collection
Pack Smart. Travel Light.

“We focus on helping our customers to travel smartly, easily and confidently. The Vx Touring Collection is a testimony to this,” states Carsten Kulcke, CEO of Victorinox Travel Gear. “Our design teams have come up with ultra-light materials which go way beyond standard durability testing, as well as highly practical strategic packing features. What’s more, the collection breaks a record in the history of Victorinox Travel Gear.”

Indeed, the Vx Touring Wheeled Global Carry-On is the lightest carry-on case across all Victorinox Travel Gear collections, weighing just 2.35kg / 5.18 lbs. And the Vx Touring Wheeled 2-in-1 Carry-On, which cleverly converts from a backpack to a wheeled duffel, weighs only a little more at 2.74kg / 6.04 lbs.

At Victorinox, lightness always rhymes with robustness. As a result, the ABS framing tubes, filled with strong fiberglass rods, provide structure without adding weight. And the abrasion-resistant VX4 and VXTek fabrics are not only light, but surpass Victorinox durability testing standards by more than twofold.

Of course, traveler convenience begins with packing. This is made simple thanks to unstructured design and some very special and specific features. The compression straps - made from ultra-strong hypalon - condense the bag’s contents, whilst strategically placed pockets on the back of the wheeled duffels ensure quick access to key belongings and provide ideal storage for shoes or wet items. The monopole handle - made of aircraft-grade aluminum - locks into three different positions and creates additional packing space.

These ultra-practical features are rounded off by a removable attach-a-bag strap, lockable zippers, an ergonomic comfort-grip handle, rear skid plates and zippered expansion.

Whatever the choice – duffel, backpack, cabin bag or checked suitcase - the Vx Touring Collection is set to surprise and appeal to the most active and demanding travelers around the world.
