Osprey Packs, Inc. – a leader in creating top-quality, high-performance, innovative packs to comfortably and efficiently carry gear – is expanding its rolling luggage collection for Fall 2012 with the Contrail Series. Combining the rugged build of outdoor gear with clean, cosmopolitan good looks, the Contrail Series offers the frequent traveler unparalleled performance and organization.

“The Contrail Series is the complete package, with great looks, incredible durability, innovative organizational features and multiple sizes for every travel need,” said Gareth Martins, marketing director of Osprey. “And with our new Handle-It system, there’s no more struggling with your luggage and carryon bag while navigating through the airport. “

The collection includes two rollers, the Contrail 22”/46L and Contrail 28”/75L, both of which include the FlightLocker™ and  LaundryBag™ -removable components to keep contents organized. The Contrail collection also includes three companion bags – Contrail Day, Contrail Courier and Contrail Tote – that attach to the rollers with Osprey’s innovative new Handle-It system.

Compared to traditional sleeve designs of most travel bags, which put the additional weight high on the handle and makes the roller feel heavier and unbalanced, Osprey’s Handle-It design keeps the additional load balanced directly over the wheels. The key design component is a stiff panel with an open slot that folds down against the accessory bag backpanel and is held in place by magnets. The companion bag attaches by flipping up the panel and slipping the slot over the extendible handle on the roller.

Contrail Rollers

• Standout organizational features include:
• Removable FlightLocker organizer accessory offers a simple, all-in-one packing solution. It speeds packing and unpacking and keeps clothes neat along the journey. The two front pockets are perfect for socks and underwear, while the back pocket is large enough for shoes or t-shirts. Sandwiched between the pockets is a folder for keeping shirts and pants looking good. As a bonus, the FlightLocker easily slips onto a clothes hanger, allowing it to be used for storage at the destination.
