Skyway, wanting to improve their Tuff Wheel design again, re-tooled their molding machines and starting making the Tuff Wheel version that is still available today. This version did away with the metal and alloy flanges of the past model and had the 'Kool hub' design actually molded in the wheel itself.
When you are traveling, the last thing you want is to be inconvenienced. Even travel undertaken for pleasure can still come with its share of stresses, as travel by its very nature takes you out for your established comfort zone of home. To reduce the stress of travel, plan ahead by checking and confirming all your itineraries thoroughly, and lay out out everything you will pack at least a few days before it's actually time to head out.
And when you do pack, it's a wise idea to do so in the lightest weight luggage you can find. When you choose a bag that is light in weight to begin with, you help ensure that your luggage won't end up heavier than you can comfortably manage to lift into an overhead compartment on a plane or pull along though the airport or down the street.
As with any luggage you are considering, first make sure you find a bag (or a set) that can properly accommodate the type and amount of clothing and sundries that you will need to bring along for your travels. Next look for the right features for your needs and preferences. Some people love spinner wheels, for example, which allow a bag to be easily moved in any direction. Other people prefer a set of parallel wheels that keep the bag on a straighter path when being pulled and which prevent it from rolling about when it is sitting upright.
Look for the arrangement and size of exterior pockets a given bag features, note the shape and height of its handle, and consider the bag's material. A hard shelled suitcase can best protect its contents, but a suitcase with a softer fabric exterior can flex to accommodate more items and can also be more easily fit into a storage compartment.
Remember that a lightweight suitcase is not only a convenience thanks to your comfort, but that it will help you conform to an airline's weight limit policies as well. Some airlines have no limits for carry on luggage weights, while others may limit your bag weight to as little as twenty pounds for some destinations. Check the specific policies regarding any flights you will be taking and plan accordingly.
