• STRENGTH & STABILITY

The FUGU LUGGAGE suitcase is made out of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a synthetic plastic polymer, polypropylene sheets,and polyester strings. These materials are bound together using drop stitch technology.Both the strong materials and the strength of the technology that binds them together enable the suitcase to successfully pass an altitude crash test. Drop stitch technology is the same technology used in the production of inflatable boats and surfboards. Its use enable the walls of the suitcase to be strong enough to withstand heavy abuse without incurring damage. The inflated walls can thus withstand extreme pressure without moving or losing equilibrium and ensure that the suitcase stays strong even when it falls or gets knocked over.

While providing maximal space inside, when FUGU is in compact mode. it adheres to the maximum dimensions, allowable for carry-on by FAA regulations.

• SPACE SAVER

FUGU LUGGUAGE not only provides consumers with choice and comfort while traveling,but also saves storage space at home.When in its collapsed form, FUGU takes up half to a third of the space that a regular suitcase does (this depends on the model of suitcase you used to own). If you own two FUGU suitcases, you will save the equipment of two to three full sized suitcases,or one to two carry-ones.

• PROTECTION

When your suitcase moves around  during travels, thrown around by airline personnel, the buil-in FUGU shelves prevent your belonging from moving around too much and keep them tidy, while the walls of the suitcase protect the items with their shock absorbing padding. Additionally, the suitcase’s exterior is made from waterproof materials,which protect your belongings from rainwater and other liquids that one encounters while traveling.
