Lightweight Luggage: CHESTER’s New Carry-On

Share now or save for later

I can’t pack light to save my life. If you ask any of my friends – especially those who’ve travelled with me before – they’ll tell you I practically bring my whole wardrobe with me whenever I travel, from clothing to suit all climates and occasions, to footwear ranging from sensible water shoes to glitzy high-heels. However, after my recent trip to Grenada, when I lugged a heavy suitcase around with me for three weeks, I’ve decided to make lightweight luggage a must for my next trip.

So, when CHESTER got in touch and asked if I’d like to review their new carry-on luggage, it couldn’t have been better timing!

About Chester

Based in New York City, CHESTER is a stylish lifestyle brand committed to making travel more seamless with its unique range of luggage. Recently listed on Amazon and Walmart, the CHESTER Carry-On is already receiving glowing customer feedback (with 200+ reviews and a five-star Amazon rating).

So, let’s take a closer look at the CHESTER Minima Carry-On and what makes it so special in comparison to other carry-on bags.

CHESTER Minima Carry-On Lightweight Luggage: Key Features and Benefits

CHESTER’s new Carry-On is a great investment for a number of reasons. Here are my favourite features of the CHESTER Minima Carry-On:

• Ultra light luggage – weighing in at just 7lbs, the Minima’s trendy 100% polycarbonate shell takes lightweight luggage to the next level, while also offering maximum protection for your belongings.
  
• Compact design – measuring 21.5” x 13.5” x 8.5″ (including wheels) with an internal capacity of 38 litres, CHESTER’S Carry-On complies with cabin baggage restrictions set by TSA and IATA.
  
• 360° spinner wheels – equipped with silent spinner wheels that can glide over even roughest of surfaces, the Minima will be easy to carry around at speed, should you ever need to sprint to the gate!
  
• Modern design – the sleek, trendy design of CHESTER’S Carry-On makes it an ideal option for the fashion-forward traveller, while the easy-clean interior compartments help you to organise your belongings while packing.

• Highly secure – CHESTER’s integrated TSA lock uses zipper pulls to ensure your luggage is locked securely at all times. However, rest assured that authorised TSA personnel will be able to open your case for inspection, if necessary.
  
• Available in seven colours – whether you prefer to opt for a discrete, neutral colour or a bright, bold shade that’ll stand out on the baggage carousel, you can order CHESTER’S lightweight luggage in your ideal colour.
  
• Competitively priced – currently priced at $195 when purchased direct from the CHESTER website (only available to US customers) or $185 via Amazon, the Minima Carry-on isn’t the cheapest luggage you’ll come across. However, CHESTER estimate that the average person pays at least 30% more for products of comparable quality as theirs and as the Minima is designed to last a lifetime (with a 10-year warranty available), this is a worthwhile investment.
  
• 100-day trial and free returns – so you’ll have plenty of time in which to test out your new purchase and make sure you love it!

I’ve fallen in love with my new CHESTER Minima Carry-On and I can’t wait to start travelling with lightweight luggage for a change!
