Spinner wheel mileage
Loaded and run on a rough belt for kilometres, not metres. Wheels are the first thing to fail on cheap luggage, so they get the longest run of the ten.
Handle lift
The telescopic handle is pulled thousands of times on a rig, then the trolley and side handles are lifted fully loaded. The handle you grab putting it in a boot is tested as hard as the one you pull.
Staircase impact
Dragged loaded up and down steps, corner first. This is the test that finds a weak frame, and it is exactly the thing a folding case has to prove.
Tumble drum
A rotating drum standing in for the worst baggage handling you are likely to meet. The shell is hard polymer, polycarbonate on the Flex 360° and Mono and ABS on the Flex Light and Vega Air, with folding inner walls made from the same material. The patented frame locks rigid the moment it is open.
Luggage structure
The frame and shell are loaded with weight well past what you could pack, then checked for any flex, crack or movement in the folding joints.
Back wheels endurance
The rear wheels are run loaded on a rough belt, the way they take the weight when you tilt the case and pull it.
Luggage drop
Packed cases are dropped from height onto each face and corner, standing in for the trip off a carousel or out of a boot.
Trolley lift
The trolley handle is lifted fully loaded, over and over, to prove it holds when you swing the case into a car or onto a rack.
Side handle lift
The side carry handle is lifted with the case packed, because that is the handle that takes the weight up stairs and into overhead lockers.
Zipper endurance
Zips are opened and closed thousands of times on a rig. A zip that fails ends the trip, so it gets tested like the wheels.
