Of course, the big draw point has to be the convenience of that front door. I’m also a fan of how damn solid this thing feels. I spent half my life living out of a suitcase and sometimes I just get sick of the same thing over and over again, it’s really nice to experience something totally different. I really like the fact they’re different.
Let’s take a look at the different colours and sizes, courtesy of this image from the Lojel website: Medium is ideal for a week or so away and the large is well-suited to those longer trips where you need to pack everything you own… just in case. There are three different sizes – the cabin-size, perfect for carry-on or a weekend getaway. The matte finish gives them a nice chill look, not a super-glossy bold colour look. I’d say the colours are slightly less bright in real life than they are in this image. I’ve opted for the cabin-size in blue and the large size in red. Lojel’s Cubo comes in red, yellow, black, white and blue. What are the sizing and colour options though? It’s also titanium, so it can absolutely take a knock.It has an anti-scratch texture with a matte finish so it won’t get all ratchet like the shiny ones do.The zipper on this thing is top-notch, it slides like a dream.The case has an Advance Polycarbonate shell so it’s really tough.It’s equipped with a double-coil zip, which beefs up your bag’s security to the max!.The expansion system means you can make it bigger if needed.Flat top opening with a 90-degree angle on that sweet front door flap (yes, I said flap).The handles are padded which, trust me, really matters when you’re lugging a heavy bag off an airport conveyor belt.The wheels on this thing are SO good, it glides like a greased-up body on a slip and slide.It comes with a 10-year warranty (Yes! Trash it!).Instead of boring you with a huge spiel about the specs of these things I’ll just dot point the need-to-know features: If, like me, the safety strap don’t mean a thang, you’re all set. If you have a 13″ laptop it’ll fit perfectly. My 15″ laptop fits inside the laptop sleeve and can be zipped up securely, it just can’t be secured by the safety strap. You unzip it and can easily and securely store your laptop and other essentials (pizza!?). In addition, it has a front pocket protected by the super hard shell. Just as the large-size does, this one opens at the front too. The cabin-size bag is adorable, like a little lego brick on wheels. You’ll also find a few separate zippy bits to put things like underwear, jewellery etc. While it looks like a big beast on wheels, it’s curiously more compact. By opening from the front, not in the middle, it means you never need a space big enough to open the whole thing flat. It has no external pockets, so right away you’re maximising the amount of space inside it. Let’s talk about the large-size bag first. The Cubo is a great choice because it offers something different. What makes it worthy of my time and money? A totally different vibe from the streamlined, smooth-edged Lumo that sort of reminds me of an odd-shaped egg. Right away you notice the distinct shape with its sturdy, industrial feel and defined edges. At a glance, the Cubo is, visually, a solid structure.
Think of it as the fridge equivalent of suitcases, rather than the usual book style luggage we’re used to. Instead of opening in the middle, like usual, this suitcase opens at the top. It’s a suitcase, yo! Specifically, it’s a new style of suitcase poised to change up my packing game forever. At first glance, its necessity seems a little uncertain but after digging a little deeper I’ve seen the appeal of this functional, luggage game-changer. It’s totally different to anything I’ve seen and, I gotta say, I’m really feelin’ it. Grab your passports and strap yourselves in, kids, cos there’s a new suitcase in town! It seems pretty impossible to make many changes to a hollow rectangle on wheels but the team at Lojel have done it with their latest creation – the Cubo.
