Lie down in the spring
At the beginning of 2024, Harbin fired the first shot of domestic tourism, and the small potatoes in the south and the small frozen pears in the north both wanted to experience each other's lives.
At the beginning of this year, we had not been out of the province for four years, a family of three, from the northeast to Zhuhai and Chengdu travel, although the whole trip was smooth, but when I just returned to Changchun, the 30-inch suitcase that had been used for more than ten years was broken.
Of course, I bought another one, and after several rounds of screening, I finally chose the Horizon 8 Grand Traveler series 28-inch wide trolley suitcase.
Thinking that there are a lot of small potatoes in the south in the winter of 2024, they may come to our Northeast to experience a different winter, so this box will also be your dish, let's see the actual appearance and loading capacity.
Jingdong is still very reliable, and the local warehouse in Changchun is out of stock, but it was also delivered the next day.
The Horizon 8 Grand Traveler 28-inch wide trolley suitcase is designed to break with tradition and adopt a more three-dimensional shape, increasing the thickness and reducing the width, making it closer to the square.
Overall size 425*34*74.5cm, capacity 99L
For the 28-inch Grand Traveler, the box adopts an asymmetrical design with a 3:7 ratio, with the top half shallower and the lower half deeper when stored horizontally. This design makes the upper part shallower and contains fewer items, so it is also lighter in weight and easier to unpack; The lower part is deeper, which is conducive to placing large or irregular items, and the concentrated storage space is conducive to the efficient use of space and can accommodate more items.
In fact, a 5L mineral water bottle is placed, and the box can also be covered normally.
I chose a 28-inch ** color matching, black and white contrasting style, not only fashionable and generous, but also can be seen at a glance in thousands of boxes when waiting for luggage.
The suitcase is made of 100% pure PC material from Covestro, Germany, which is also due to the high cost, so the box is more expensive than some ordinary ABS, PP and other material boxes.
PC material is known for its better ductility, lighter and tougher, and the box is not easy to break, making the case last longer. The empty box of 36L mineral water is not deformed.
The extra handle on the top makes it easy to lift the suitcase.
It is especially convenient when you have just closed the lid and are in a hurry to leave, or when you are ready to put it in the trunk of the car.
Aerospace-grade aluminum alloy tie rod, four-stage pull-out, enough to match various heights.
The design of the wide tie rod is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also makes the interior space more organized.
12 barrels of 3-liter mineral water were loaded with a total weight of more than 36 kg.
The swing of the tie rod is within 1cm, it is very stable, it is not bent at various angles, it is more labor-saving to push and pull, and the pulling life of more than 12,000 times ensures that it can be used for seven or eight years.
The zipper is bright yellow, which is very conspicuous, and the Japanese YKK zipper is used, which is very smooth when pulling back and forth.
Standard customs lock, not afraid of being violently unpacked when you go out.
There are also many careful mechanisms inside the box, such as this pad, which can be turned into a partition when turned over, which is very convenient for placing shoes or toiletry bags, etc., of course, you can plan it yourself.
There are two pockets in the compartment at the top, which are layered.
A translucent waterproof layer that can be used to store some clothes that have not been dried to avoid getting other items wet.
The net pocket layer can put some data cables, USB flash drives, mobile hard disks and other small objects.
This little yellow wheel is a unique design of the horizon, very recognizable, and super silent, super silky, wait to show you.
Let's take a look at the loading capacity first, here is also an extension to the southern friends, in fact, to the Northeast, minus twenty or thirty degrees, thick down jackets are first essential, the middle layer wears a soft shell or fleece jacket (sweaters are also OK), the innermost must wear more sweat-wicking and quick-drying underwear, the lower body is conditionally worn with down pants, or cotton pants can also be used, but it is best to play thicker**, the outer layer is not too tight, not conducive to warmth, a pair of thick-soled snow cotton under your feet can.
In this way, a family of three, at least 3 down jackets, 3 down pants need to be placed in the box, there is no larger box is really not enough, a shallow demonstration of the loading capacity of the 28-inch box of Horizon 8, for the time being, these clothes, including sweaters, cotton vests, down vests, down jackets, etc., there are ** and children's.
Packing effect, because the down has a certain amount of air in it, in fact, it will be more convenient to bring a compression bag, at least it will save two-thirds of the space.
As I just mentioned, this small yellow wheel is made of steel double bearing material, the heavier the easier it is to push, the more stable, and the silky and silent roller is a highlight of this suitcase. Even an adult man (I am 181cm tall and weigh 158 pounds) can glide easily even if I sit on it, which is a good choice for families with small children. In the empty box state, the PC's box is very load-bearing, and there is no problem in sliding on it, and it seems that the next time the bear child at home can also be used as a cart on it.
The 36 liters of mineral water just now are put in and rotated, and then slide again, and you can see that it is very stable.
I have to say that this wheel is really good, the mute effect is very good, through the demonstration of four different road surfaces, the sound is obviously much smaller than the suitcase used before, you can see the specific **, listen to the sound, the sound from large to small.
The 28-inch suitcase is actually very large, before the 30-inch box, there are some small online car-hailing or changed natural gas taxis can not be put down at all, this time we use our Changchun local taxi online car-hailing car share is relatively high Hongqi E-QM5 trunk to make a comparison.
Because Horizon 8 makes the trunk relatively square, in fact, there is still half of the space in the back, which is not occupied, and at this height, various vehicle openings can basically be put in.
In the freezing cold of minus 10 degrees Celsius in Changchun, I filled my suitcase with laundry for an outdoor test.
Whether it's towing, pushing or lifting, this suitcase is designed to handle with ease.
In public places such as subway stations and train stations, the 28-inch size has not caused any inconvenience.
The height of the case is modest, and you can even put your iPad or laptop on it while you wait, catch up on dramas or work temporarily.
In the icy and snowy northeast, it is almost fully loaded, and it takes so long to tow outdoors + public transportation + indoors.
The box was not damaged by the cold or the temperature difference became brittle, not like my broken box, which died unexpectedly after returning from the south to the northeast.
And the material is very good to clean, before buying the box, I hesitated whether the white is difficult to take care of, and it turns out that it is really easy to wipe.
The whole trunk is about 3km on the ground and dragged on the road, wipe off the mud and dust on the rollers with wet wipes, it is still relatively wear-resistant, the whole is basically floating ash, and it is easy to wipe it with a wet rag. (Forgive me for four wheels, I only wiped them).
Overall, this Horizon Grand Traveler 28-inch wide trolley suitcase excels in terms of design, functionality, practicality, and user experience. Enough for a family of three to travel from south to north, or from north to south for about a week. Whether it is the appearance or practical use, this suitcase is worth recommending.
If you don't like it too big, there are other colors, and the size 20-26 inches can be selected.
Dear Southern Little Potatoes, although the winter snow has begun to melt, the rest of the seasons in the Northeast are just as charming and worth experiencing. Bring yourself, bring your family, bring your friends, bring your bags, come here, walk into the primeval forest of the Changbai Mountains to find the traces of Zhang Qiling; Wander by the Jingyue Lake to enjoy a quiet afternoon; The colorful autumn scenery of Ji'an will make people feel like they are in a fairy tale, and of course, when the winter wind dances again, the snow and ice sculptures of the Northeast will look forward to your return. At that time, you can roll in the snow, play slides on ice sculptures, fish geese in the iron pot, and experience the real ice and snow world. Whether it's the emerald green of summer or the silver of winter, the beauty of the four seasons of the Northeast awaits you.
