Why you should buy Carl Friedrik’s The Carry-On Pro Travel Luggage

Rough exterior, premium components, lush interior. That’s the essential formula of Carl Friedrik’s The Carry-On Pro. The exterior is made of polycarbonate, an industrial-grade plastic polymer that is tough. This is not cheap plastic, this is engineered plastic made for extreme protection of your products. Then, we go on a worldwide tour to find the best materials for everything. The wheels, for example, are a Japanese-style silent wheel construction while the polycarbonate is decorated by fine Italian leather. The interior is 43L, large enough for about a week’s worth of stuff (or enough for the two of your two spend a long weekend out this Valentine’s Day).

You might’ve heard of Carl Friedrik as a luxury luggage brand and been turned off or worried about its affordability. Fortunately, unlike Rimowa suitcase sales, you can find a good price on Carl Friedrick from time to time. But it’s still rare. And that’s why we want to highlight this opportunity. Again, Carl Friedrik’s The Carry-On Pro is down to just $499 for the time being. That’s $96 down from its typical $595, all available to you if you tap the button below. Be sure to double-check the delivery date, but you should be able to get it before Valentine’s Day should you want to use this on a well-deserved trip with your beloved.

Hawaii’s Diamond Head hike is quicker, easier, and more beautiful than expected
What to know before hiking this famous crater
Diamond Head Hawaii

Diamond Head is one of Hawaii's most recognized landmarks, formed nearly 300,000 years ago during a single, explosive eruption. After the eruption, a saucer-shaped crater was formed as particles in the air settled and cemented together into tuff. Today, the Diamond Head Crater Summer Trail is one of Hawaii's most visited hiking trails.

Before I visited Diamond Head Hawaii, I wondered just how challenging this hike would be and how long it would take to hike up and back down. To my surprise, the hike was much easier and shorter than expected. You only need a short window of time in your day to enjoy the incredible views from this volcano.
