DB Journey Roller Luggage Review
"Styled & Dialed"
The looks alone are worthy, but then the TSA clasps and metal frame make it last longer. Available in both plastic and metal “pro” options. Seriously excellent feeling luggage. Also covered in this deep dive on the Ramverk Alu version.
More on the DB Journey Roller Luggage
What I like
- Polycarbonate shell with a 6063 aluminum frame where it closes. Most polycarbonate luggage has barely any metal
- Nice pump-and-click TSA lock
- Liner feels like recycled polyester that won't soak up dirt and oil over time
- Two equal compartments, with a velcro-flap section for a laptop or business papers
- Hinomoto wheels, the best in the industry. Love the spinner
- Handle feels surprisingly textural with the right padding, and the triangular trolley is unique and solid
- A very unique looking piece of luggage
- Long warranties (around 20 years), longer with their membership
Watch for
- Over $500
- If your laptop is in the flap section you have to open the case to get it
Specs
- Ramverk Pro Carry-on: 36L, 9.92 lb, 21.26 x 15.55 x 9.06 in (brand site)
