This 21" roller bag is designed with air travel in mind. Its dimensions (35.6 cm x 23.8 cm x 54.6 cm) generally fall within the carry-on limits for most major airlines. However, always check your specific airline's current carry-on size restrictions before flying, as these policies can vary and change. Beyond air travel, its robust construction and maneuverability make it suitable for train travel, road trips, or daily commuting where a wheeled bag is preferred.
To ensure the longevity of your Base Camp Roller 21" Bag, follow these care guidelines:
Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, wipe the exterior fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they can damage the recycled polyester. For tougher spots, a soft brush can be used gently.
Drying: Allow the bag to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat, to prevent mildew and material degradation.
Zipper Maintenance: Periodically inspect zippers for debris. If they become stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant can improve their function.
Wheel Maintenance: Keep the wheels free of hair, string, or other debris that can impede smooth rolling. Clean them periodically with a brush or cloth.
Storage: Store the bag in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing heavy objects on top of it, which could deform its shape or damage the chassis.
