KABUTO’s feature list almost sounds like it’s being read out by Q from the James Bond novels. Silent wheels, fingerprint lock, laptop-charging capabilities, detachable backpack, designed to last a lifetime. However, the KABUTO carry-on isn’t a work of fiction by Ian Fleming. It’s a confluence of good design and cutting-edge tech. The result is a bag that’s sleek, silent, can carry enough for a 10-day trip, and can segregate your items, giving you dedicated storage for your electronics in a detachable sleeve you can lug around in case you want to check your bag into a flight. KABUTO has the undeniable swagger needed to accompany 007 on his missions. Its slick design ditches the cheap plastic caster wheels for actual tires with ball-bearing-hubs making them completely completely silent, allowing you to travel through the airport without any noise. The suitcase comes with a unique expansion system that allows it to grow vertically. The interaction is supported by a mechanism on the inside of the suitcase that lets it slide like a matchbox, expanding the inner compartments by 50% in a swift motion that takes less than 10 seconds. This effectively gives you enough storage for everything from a 3-day work trip to a 10-day holiday… with a dedicated compartment to store your shoes too, because who wears the same footwear through a week long trip?? On the backside of KABUTO lies perhaps its most impressive innovation. The back of KABUTO features a detachable sleeve to store your laptop, tablet, phone, wallet, passport and other essentials. Designed to separate your luggage from your valuables, this sleeve snaps on and off the main carry-on, giving you an instant messenger-bag that you can carry around separately with you. It even helps you speed through your security-check by simply detaching the electronics from the regular storage, as is customary. KABUTO’s main storage also comes with its own removable 10,000 mAh battery-pack to charge your electronics. The battery pack charges not only your phone and tablet, but your laptop too, and relies on an innovative mag-safe-style contact charging pin that connects the main-storage to the detachable sleeve. Think of it as a mag-safe charger that begins working the minute you snap the sleeve to the carry-on, and stops it from charging when you detach the sleeve. All the charging happens while your device is INSIDE its dedicated storage unit, so you don’t need to be worried about plugging and unplugging charging cables. A bag that’s fit for Britain’s top spy should also be able to perform in the security department, you’d probably say. KABUTO comes made from tough polycarbonate and is practically unbreakable. In fact, the guys who create it even provide a lifetime warranty on any damage, and will either fix or replace the carry-on in the off chance that something ever happens to it… and for the rest of the time, KABUTO’s anti-theft YKK zippers and biometric lock should give you the most secure experience for this futuristic, state-of-the-art carry on. However, the future isn’t too distant. The creators of the KABUTO guarantee shipping before Christmas of 2019, and even offer a refund if they renege on that promise. Sounds like double-O heaven, doesn’t it? Jerome Tricault of KABUTO ($200 off).
