Payton Pritchard Partners With Legacy Brand Samsonite For Synergistic Slam Dunk

BOSTON, MA - DECEMBER 7: Payton Pritchard #11 of the Boston Celtics after making a three point ... More basket against the Memphis Grizzlies during the second half at TD Garden on December 7, 2024 in Boston, Massachusetts. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloading and/or using this Photograph, user is consenting to the terms and conditions of the Getty Images License Agreement. (Photo By) Samsonite has set the standard in travel for over a century. A company doesn't reach that pinnacle without going above and beyond what it means to be a luggage brand. This industry titan is an iconic symbol of trust and innovation. For a brand rooted in legacy, innovation, and trust, generations of travelers worldwide can attest that durability is as much of a Samsonite hallmark as style is. As the company continues to evolve, working to stay ahead so that it maintains its place at the forefront of its industry, Samsonite has launched a marketing initiative that captures the belief that what you carry and how you carry it says everything. "It's Not Just a Bag, It's a Samsonite" is a campaign highlighting a legacy of innovation, timeless design, and durable gear built to last. Who better to partner with on such a campaign than a champion who can speak first-hand about the style, ease, and durability of Samsonite luggage? Enter Payton Pritchard. The NBA's reigning Sixth Man of the Year helped the Boston Celtics lift the Larry O'Brien Trophy in 2023-24. Raising Banner 18 to the TD Garden rafters broke a tie with the Los Angeles Lakers for the franchise with the most titles in league history. Samsonite selected Pritchard as the face of the campaign because he shares one of the company's core values: excellence. As for what made this partnership so appealing to him, Pritchard told Forbes, "Samsonite has been in the travel game for over a hundred years, and I respect how they're always pushing for quality and innovation. It's more than just luggage—it's about packing what matters and doing it with style and durability, which is kind of how I approach basketball and life." Synergy is a common theme defining this pairing. That extends to Samsonite being a Massachusetts-based brand. That both call Boston home is a part of their connection that made this collaboration feel right to Pritchard. "Absolutely!" he emphasized. "I feel a strong connection to Samsonite, not just because of the quality of their products, but also because they're a well-known brand. Boston has a culture of excellence and performance, and I think those same values are reflected in the way Samsonite approaches travel. It just felt like a natural fit. Samsonite has built a legacy as a trusted name in travel—an iconic symbol of trust and innovation." When thinking about how the energy of the city he stars in aligns with Samsonite's brand, the five-year veteran, who has spent his entire NBA career in Boston, pointed to the following. "Boston is a city fueled by passion, determination, and pride—qualities that mirror Samsonite's legacy. Like the Celtics, Samsonite is known for its enduring performance and commitment to excellence. The fans here are loyal and discerning, and Samsonite continues to meet that high standard, making it a natural fit for the energy and spirit of this city." Durability is another foundational block that these two have built their reputations on. Samsonite high-performance gear's engineered to last. Pritchard has proven to be an ironman on the court. He played in all 82 games in the 2023-24 campaign. Last season, he suited up for 80. "Samsonite has built its reputation on making products that last, that stand up to the toughest conditions," noted Pritchard. "In the same way, I've worked hard to build a reputation on being durable and consistent, whether it's on the court or in how I handle my career. We both understand the importance of preparation, legacy, and putting in the work to perform at a high level, day in and day out." As for what the former first-round pick fills his Samsonite luggage with to help ease a life of travel, Pritchard pointed to a few essentials. "When I'm packing for a road trip, I've got a few go-to's," he shared. "First, it's my gear -- whether it's my workout clothes, shoes, or the essentials I need for practice and games. I always bring a couple of books or my headphones to help me unwind. But most importantly, I make sure [that] I'm organized so I can stay on top of everything during a busy schedule. That's where my Samsonite's organization features really come in handy." In particular, Pritchard has found that the Proxis Spinner perfectly suits his lifestyle. "The Proxis Spinner is my go-to, no question. I'm constantly on the road during the season, and that piece has just made life easier," said Pritchard. "It's lightweight but super durable -- I can toss it in and out of buses, planes, whatever, and it still looks brand new. The spinner wheels are smooth, which sounds like a small thing, but when you're running through airports or trying to get to shoot around, it matters. Plus, it fits everything I need without being oversized. It's just a reliable, well-built piece of gear." The mutual admiration shared between these two Boston-based stars built on durability and evolution, with distinctive styles that are an essential part of who they are, is what makes Pritchard the perfect choice to partner with on the "It's Not Just a Bag, It's a Samsonite campaign."

Why Club Glove Overhauled Golf's Top Travel Bag After 30 Years

Club Glove has overhauled its top-selling golf travel bag for the first time in three decades. With a backdrop of record-setting levels of recreational golf travel in recent years, Club Glove has completely overhauled its top-selling golf travel bag – the Traveler – for the first time in 30 years. The launch is part of a re-engineered product line from Club Glove, with enhanced strength and protective elements (as well as more premium materials) across all its club travel bags as well as luggage, backpacks and duffle bags. The Traveler has been upgraded with a ballistic nylon that's three times stronger than the previous material, 25% more padding for increased protection of clubheads, a new upper lined with premium velour, and a built-in lock that's TSA approved. Also new is a shock absorbing wheelbase along with interior pockets for discreet storage, leather touchpoints and premium hardware. 'We are taking what every golfer loves and trusts about Club Glove - products that you can count on to protect your equipment and last for generations to come - and bringing that to the next level,' said Jay Duke, President of Golf Gear for Club Glove. A new built-in TSA approved lock is part of the overhaul of Club Glove's top selling golf bag. Each of the past three years has yielded more than 12 million U.S. golf travelers, according to the National Golf Foundation, the only times on record that milestone has been exceeded. With destination golf experiences to far-flung locations becoming increasingly popular – from the Oregon coast and the California's Monterey Peninsula to the Sand Hills of Nebraska and North Carolina – golfers have perhaps more incentive than ever to ensure their clubs also make the journey safely. And especially at a time when new drivers can top $500 or $600. The changes to Club Glove's Traveler bag were a part of an overhaul of the company's full golf ... More travel line. For Club Glove, professional golfers who face the regular rigors of travel make for the best field testers, with its entire new line crafted through direct feedback from PGA Tour and LPGA Tour players. Club Glove is currently recognized as the most-used travel bag on the PGA Tour, with a trickledown effect that reaches the millions of recreational golfers. 'Everything starts with the golfer,' said Mike Reffitt, who leads product creation for Club Glove. 'We engineer products with the most passionate golf travelers in mind. We then validate those designs with the most avid travelers to ensure we're delivering the absolute best travel gear in golf.' Now available online and at golf shops across the U.S., Club Glove also introduced three new travel backpacks and two new duffle bag options, with golfers having a choice across the product line between three unique collections – Tour, Pro and Club – that span all levels of detailing, premium features, and durable engineering. Club Glove enlisted help from professional golfers in making notable changes to its fuller golf ... More travel line.

I'm Preparing for My Next Road Trip: This Is My Travel Prep Checklist

I love to travel, whether it's hopping a flight to a far flung destination with friends, or hopping in the car for a long road trip. While I love planning my next trip, I still get anxious every time. All of the moving parts of travel start to add up, leaving me stressed and trying to figure out what I've forgotten. Even though I travel often, I still get flustered thinking about how I'm going to fit everything I want to take in my suitcase or carry-on, how best to navigate TSA security lines and even how I need to prepare my home to spend several days away. I'm currently planning a 10-hour road trip to Florida, and while I'm excited to see my loved ones and explore nature, I'm already feeling the pressure of undertaking such a big trip that requires two full days of driving one way. It's nothing I can't handle with a little preparation, though. I just need to take it step by step. To start this preparation journey, I compiled tips to make the whole travel process smoother, no matter if I'm booking a flight or gearing up for a road trip. Want more travel tips? Here are the best times to book plane tickets for cheap airfare and how to avoid having your flight canceled or delayed. Tips for easier flying Airports can be anxiety-inducing even during the best of times. From researching flight cancellations to packing strategically to maximize space in your suitcase, here are some necessary tips for easier, stress-free flying. Fold, roll and cube clothing You may have your own unique approach to packing clothes. Some people opt for the folding method, others prefer rolling garments into tight logs and some choose to flatten their clothes into packing cubes. My suggestion is to combine these three methods. You can maximize space by folding your structured and bulkier clothes like jeans, trousers, formal dresses, jackets and coats. Then, roll up the rest of your clothes and fill the remaining spaces in your suitcase. To further compress your items, place some of the rolled clothes into packing cubes for added organization. It's also helpful to pack loose items like socks and underwear into these compressed packing cubes. Prepare for TSA If you're flying, consider getting TSA PreCheck or Global Entry to skip the long lines and for easier security screening. Whether you're a frequent flier with these perks or showing up for the standard TSA lines, keep your electronics in a convenient spot where you can take them out and put them back with ease. It's best practice to have your electronics in the top layer or outer pocket of your suitcase, or your allotted personal item. Otherwise, you'll have to dig around for your laptop, iPad, etc. stalling the line behind you in the process. Pack essentials in your carry-on When you check your suitcase, you run the risk of losing it. I haven't had this happen frequently, but the one unfortunate time my checked suitcase was lost -- and I had to spend three days exploring London without my luggage -- I was thrilled that my essentials were still with me in my carry-on bags. Your carry-on or personal item is the optimal place for the essentials that would be most difficult to replace. This includes your wallet, contact lenses, eyeglasses, prescription medication, chargers, electronics or anything you would hate to not have for several days. Track your bags To give your luggage some extra protection from loss or theft, consider outfitting both your carry-on and checked bags with tracking devices like Apple AirTags or Chipolo One Point Trackers. Leave wiggle room It's very likely that wherever you travel, you'll want to shop and bring back souvenirs. That means you need to take into account any extra space you might need for the trip back to avoid overweight bag fees. Tips for a stress-free road trip Driving comes with its own set of concerns. From preparing for flat tires to mapping out your route, here are some necessary tips for easier, stress-free road trips. Get your car serviced beforehand If you're hitting the road this holiday season, you should take your car for an inspection to make sure you don't have any issues on the route. Ask the mechanic to check the tires, car battery, brakes, fluids and wiper blades, or anything else that may concern you. It's best to do this several weeks in advance to make sure you have plenty of time to fix any issues or order any parts. Prepare for an emergency Roadside emergency kits are a must-have if you're traveling any significant distance. Some 30 million roadside assistance calls are made every year, according to AAA, so it's best to be prepared for any emergency. Plan your route Maybe this seems like a no-brainer, but it's imperative to know which roads you'll be taking on your drive. Not only will this keep you confident while driving, but you can note any road closures or inclement weather that may impact your route and adjust your plan accordingly. For instance, sections of I-40 in North Carolina and Tennessee will be closed for the next several weeks, and knowing this means I can choose a new route for my Thanksgiving road trip and won't need to be rerouted miles out of the way, delaying my trip. As another safety measure, I recommend taking a screenshot or printing directions if you're traveling in regions where cell service could become spotty. You should also take into account any hotels, gas stations and rest stops along the route in case you get tired or need a quick stop. How to prepare your home before your trip To ensure that you'll come back to find your home just as you left it, follow these safety and home-preparation tips. Unplug your electronics Not only can unplugging electronics lower your energy bill, but it will also reduce the risk of electrical fires. Before you depart, unplug your appliances, lamps, chargers, routers, computers and TVs for maximum safety. Lock your windows Triple-check all your doors and secure all windows before you head out of town. Consider purchasing a smart lock that can alert you when a window is unlocked and allow you to lock it remotely or a home security system to arm your home while away. Time your lights Leaving lights on to make it look like you're home can deter any potential burglars. Rather than leaving lights on all day and night, plug light timers into your outlets or install a remotely controllable smart bulb. Then you can set your indoor lights to turn on and off as they normally would, and set your outdoor lights to turn on at night. Safety is a priority for most families when they travel. To keep your home safe and secure while you're away, follow this home safety checklist to complete before going on vacation. Keep your plants alive You don't have to leave your house plants to die when you travel. You can fashion a drip system out of a plastic water bottle by filling it with water, drilling some holes toward the top and placing it into the plant soil. Read this guide for a full tutorial on how to keep plants alive while traveling. For more travel tips, check out CNET's picks for the best travel credit cards in 2025.
