You may not find it necessary to jump on your luggage, but what if – jet lagged – you back your rental car into it at the airport garage? Or it ends up crushed at the wrong end of baggage cart? Made of tough, bendable Duraflex (it bounces back from up to 340 kilograms of force), Heys’ new Zeus line should end that dread travellers feel by the luggage carousel, wondering just how dinged up their cases will come out this time. Incredibly lightweight (the carry-on size is only 2.8 kilos; the largest bag is just under five kilos), a strong extendable handle and cushioned grips make it easy to get on and off the security screening belts. Inside, three zippered pockets offer some storage, but the zipper keeping the bag’s interior fabric divider in place is iffy – especially if you come close to maxing out the space. Exterior zippers feel much more sturdy, and click into a TSA-approved lock. Carry-on size from $150; heys.ca
