Maybe I'll change my trolley. Or maybe not, but this Hegent from Level8 is really smart

For a little over a year I discovered Level8, a brand of luggage that amazed me with the quality of its products and especially the price compared to certain brands that do not have all this extra quality but cost even three times as much as this company.

The world is full of brands, more or less similar products that it is difficult to perceive the true quality from the junk, I consider myself a heavy user, however, and I can say. after 18 months and many, many trips all the Level8 products I use are dented, but intact.

If with the Gibraltar I went through Manhattan, Tokyo and Bangkok, put miles on airports and beyond, with the trunk full to the brim we walked across the U.S.-Canadian border, dragging it everywhere.

I'm not one of those who bandages suitcases, much less am I one who puts the protective bag over the trolley to keep it from spoiling; these are products made to be used, not kept pristine.

My Gibraltar, the Level8 aluminum trolley that many readers wrote to me about buying is the right compromise. It costs ⅕ compared to the more emblazoned brand, but I honestly didn't see this big difference in construction and most importantly I can change it 5 times before I spend the same amount of money, because I know: sooner or later I will get tired and want to change.

I have dragged it to 5 continents, over 250 flights and boarded dozens of times, without ever a problem.

Now, however, Level8, with which I remember I started collaborating AFTER I bought his products., sent me the latest addition to his family. And as always, unless there is a better promo, using TFC10 gives you 10% discount.

Hegent is the new trolley launched a few months ago. Minimal design, identical size to the Gibraltar, but composite material, and above all inside is profoundly different from my current companion.

Perfect with all low-cost

Having similar dimensions there is no need to worry about whether you will be able to bring one or the other on board with all the low-cost. and consequently with all traditional carriers. Sure they weigh 4.5kg, but to be honest weight is (almost) no longer an issue, in the sense that I don't remember seeing Ryanair or ITA Airways weighing a carry-on, whereas in Asia I have to say it still happens from time to time. Today everyone is focused on size.

This means that it will fit into all hat racks and exceed at all the baskets with the sizes allowed by the world's major companies.

My review

Aluminum supporting structure and reinforced corners to better absorb shocks, It exists in 3 colors and costs less than half as much as the aluminum one, and inside it is much smarter.

Double compartment, like the Gibraltar, but revised divider elements and a removable notebook sleeve is also included inside.

On the one hand there is a belt system, which then allows for a lot of compression of the content, as opposed to the zippered divider system, which is also useful if you simply want to hold the contents of the suitcase firmly in place.

The other half is a traditional compartment, but the divider is significantly different since a waterproof pocket is included. Given that people now travel only with carry-on luggage, Being able to take a last-minute plunge and store your swimsuit without hassle is a really attractive option.

In conclusion

Oh I forgot, If, on the other hand, you are looking for luggage to check in. the trunk is great.

The XL handle is a convenience you don't appreciate until you try it out And the closing is really well done, and then if you get it yellow it's impossible not to notice it when it comes out on the baggage claim belt.
