One more sweater. What if I need another pair of boots? Might as well bring an extra coat—just in case. We've all more or less experienced the agony of deciding what to pack, especially when faced with limited capacity but limitless imagination. We await anxiously when approaching the airline counter, fingers crossed as the suitcase makes it way onto the belt and the digital display begins to steadily increase.
For those who'd like to travel light but still have the peace of mind that comes from having all your essentials with you, the latest addition to Tumi's iconic 19 Degree Collection might just be the thing for you. Introducing 19 Degree Lite—an ultra-light hardside luggage designed to lessen your load on a long travel day. With all the components of the classic 19 Degree collection but even lighter, the 19 Degree Lite reimagines hardside suitcases, defying the idea that with durability inevitably comes extra weight.

Through revolutionary technology and detailed construction, Tumi's latest innovation presents an alternative for travellers without compromising quality or performance. Constructed with highly resilient Tegris, an extraordinary high impact-resistant yet lightweight material used in protective armour, the suitcase is an ideal partner to have by your side, whether you're navigating narrow European alleyways or making your way up steps of a quaint townhouse.

The new collection features three core colours—blush, titanium grey, and black graphite—as well as two seasonal colours for an extra touch of fun—amber (available exclusively online) and cobalt. There is surely no need to forgo style when searching for a lighter alternative.
