The seasons are changing, and so are the travel plans of Manitobans who are perhaps looking for a change of scenery.
When planning your destination, you also need to plan your luggage, and what kind of luggage you bring can make or break your trip.
The folks at U.N. Luggage know that struggle all too well, and that’s why they carry a range of versatile bags for any weather, as well as bags that can handle all weather.
“Destination makes a big difference and your style travel,” says U.N. Luggage co-owner John Thiessen. “Different bags are suited for different types of travel.”
For frequent travellers with more extreme climates in mind, Thiessen recommends the Osprey Sojourn 80, a midsize duffel-style suitcase. “People who travel love it,” he says, “because it’s a duffle style, everything can be cinched down and very snuggly pack 40 litres, which is about carry-on size.”
The bag’s design features can also handle any travel style, from a dynamic wheel design that is meant to roll with ease over rough cobblestones or packed snow to stowable backpack straps to carry the bag with where wheels would fail.
“Where this thing really shines is when you’re going a little more rough and tumble,” Thiessen explains. “People who are after this are a little more adventurous.”
