VERAGE Cambridge Softside Luggage: Ultra-Lightweight Meets Unbreakable Durability

The VERAGE Cambridge series excels at delivering ultra-lightweight construction without sacrificing strength.

Why Is Cambridge A More Ideal Product Choice?

For travelers seeking a softside suitcase that is both exceptionally light and remarkably strong, the VERAGE Cambridge series delivers. At 4.6 lbs for the carry-on, it is nearly a pound lighter than the It Luggage Lustrous Luxe carry-on (5.49 lbs), while offering a carbon fiber frame that lets you sit on it without damage. The Cambridge checked sizes are also lighter (5.7 lbs vs 6.83 lbs for medium, 6.8 lbs vs 7.65 lbs for large). With double-layer zippers, 20% expansion, a water-resistant PU coating, and a 10-year warranty, the Cambridge provides better durability and value at a comparable price point (carry-on $119 vs $130).

Core Features That Set Cambridge Apart

1. Lighter Suitcase, Heavier Savings

The Cambridge carry-on weighs just 4.6 lbs – significantly less than most competitors. This means you can pack more without worrying about airline weight limits. Breeze through check-in and avoid those pesky overweight fees.

2. A Softside Revolution

Cambridge is tough enough to sit on while waiting for your flight, train, or taxi. Thanks to its carbon fiber frame, it handles your weight and even the roughest baggage handlers. This level of strength is rare in lightweight softside luggage.

3. Room for More

Need extra space for last-minute purchases or gifts? All checked sizes feature an expandable layer that adds up to 20% more capacity. Whether it is extra clothes, shoes, or souvenirs, you can pack what you need without upgrading to a larger bag.

4. Long-Lasting Double-Layer Zippers

Double-layer zippers are built to endure, ensuring a secure close even when overpacked. Unlike regular zippers, they resist breaking, giving you peace of mind trip after trip.

5. Additional Travel-Friendly Details

· Underside grab handle on checked luggage for easy lifting into car trunks or onto baggage carousels

· TSA-approved lock with VERAGE smart zipper system

· Multi-height telescopic handle with soft, non-slip TPR grip

· Water-resistant PU coating – a quick wipe keeps it looking new after rain or spills
