There are many different types of luxury luggage out there that cost a pretty penny and look very nice in the stores, but they are not all the same when it comes to substance. The Hartmann Intensity luggage, for example, combines high-performance ballistic nylon with robust full-grain leather and either antique brass or matte black nickel finished hardware. This carry-on luggage not only looks great, but since it is made of the same high-performance ballistic nylon that is used in military bulletproof vests, it's built to last.

When you're looking for carry-on luggage you want to look for something that is extremely lightweight so it's easy to carry about the airport and stow on a plane or train, yet also highly durable so it can be thrown around and not show visible signs of damage. Luxury luggage sometimes looks great but does not have the durability for all different kinds of travel, whether it's a business trip or an adventure excursion. Hartmann Intensity has been proven to be an advantageous choice for either occasion.

Other important things to look for in carry-on luggage are a durable handle, tough wheels and a hard-wearing frame system to endure any type of hectic travel. People often forget to look for these things when they are shopping for luxury luggage with all the distractions of fancy material and clever storage pockets. The Hartmann Intensity collection offers all these long-lasting features, though, thanks to its MT2 technology. And the collection can be found in beautiful coffee or black ballistic nylon, to strike the perfect balance between peak performance and optimum style.

Carry-on luggage should be more than just a nice exterior design with plenty of space for your things. Look for durable materials and excellence in function as well as form when shopping for luggage, and you should have a winner.
