Kelty Ascender 22 Wheeled Carry On

New for 2014! Kelty's versatile Ascender 22 travel bag is designed as the keystone piece to a modular travel system. With a detachable wheeled frame that expands to fit other pieces in the series, the Ascender 22 is highly adaptable.Measuring in at 22 x 14 x 9, the Ascender 22 is the maximum approved size for domestic flight carry on use whether attached to or detached from the wheeled chassis. But it's hiding a tricky secret in its small package – it expands by up to 75% to become either a 55 or 70 liter checked bag size! The Ascender chassis can accommodate the bag's shape shifting, as well. The aluminum frame features rugged and strong inline skate wheels to glide from the parking lot to the gate with ease. The single extension handle has multiple positions. Since the chassis is extendable, it can fit multiple additional bags in the Ascender Series each sold separately at the same time as the Ascender 22 to allow easy transport of your carry on along with all of your checked baggage through the airport.The 2440 cubic inch when not expanded packbag is accessed through wide U shaped opening secured by a durable zipper. When expanded both in length and depth, the Ascender 22's size becomes a spacious 4150 cubic inches with a length divider. Top, sides and bottom are fully padded to protect the contents of the packbag. Internal compression and a zippered front stash pocket round out the Ascender 22's organizational features. There are also hide away shoulder straps should you prefer to carry the bag on your back like a pack. Constructed of ultra durable 1280D Ballistic polyester pack cloth, the Kelty Ascender 22 is available in your choice of color options. Lichen, Raven, 23660713 LC, 23660713 RV
