[Header] 5 myths about travel carry [Introduction] A little owl shared some common myths or misconceptions about our travel gear – and we’re here to bust them!

[Header] MYTH: Slings should have slash-proof straps [Header] REALITY: That costs more than it actually saves [Blurb] Cut-proof materials add bulk and cost to a bag’s construction, and rates of strap-cutting are very low. So we’ve only included it on our most rugged travel sling. CTA Shop the Venture Travel Crossbody

[Header] MYTH: Lockable wheels are the obvious choice [Header] REALITY: Depends how you value weight and repairability [Blurb] We designed our luggage for the long haul, and prioritized a replaceable wheel system over a lockable one. While also avoiding the extra weight a lockable wheel would add. CTA Shop the Transit Carry-On

[Header] MYTH: The Tech Kit’s just for work [Header] REALITY: It’s helpful in so many ways [Blurb] The Tech Kit is optimized for tech accessories, but we chose elastic loops and stretch-mesh pocketing – so it’s equally perfect for in-flight essentials or first-aid gear! CTA Shop the Tech Kit
