Today, smart luggage maker Kabuto introduced a revolution in modern travel with its new Trunk and Backpack. The loaded luggage meets modern travel needs at the next level with a bevy of organization, security, and charging features. The luggage set, available on special pre-order pricing today, looks perfect for any travelers eager to get back out in the re-opening world.

Kabuto Trunk and Backpack Features and Utility

Ever get really stressed out in airports? We do too. We’ve all done the dance so many times: your phone dying, you painstakingly pass your luggage through TSA, then dig out your charger and run around in search of an outlet. If you’re lucky, you’re drunk enough that it feels like a really lame yet stressful adventure.

Kabuto addresses these glaring needs with various first-of-their-kind features. A TSA-approved removable battery built into the luggage helps travelers run the security gauntlet successfully and charge their devices on the go. Kabuto says the suitcases are smaller than most other luggage but more effective because of their internal organization. Adjustable compartments help travelers stay organized and on point.

The cases can also withstand abuse and deter theft. The hard-shell designs are lightweight (10 lbs. for the Trunk), but built to last. But the coolest part of the Trunk and Backpack might be their theft/tamper deterrence. Kabuto’s TSA-approved biometric sensor only opens with the touch of the owner’s finger. Kabuto proudly notes that the sensor unlocks the luggage in just 1/100th of a second.

But even that wild claim has functional legs: when you’re sprinting to make a connection, every 1/100th of a second counts.

Finally, the Backpack attaches to the Trunk magnetically for a modular carry option. The capacity for each item is 9 liters.

Conclusion: Concept Utility and Coinage

“In this new and reopening world,” Kabuto CEO Jerome Tricault asserts, “people are going farther than they ever have before with the ability to now travel safely and work remotely.” The Kabuto Trunk and Backpack help this new jet-set fly with their eye-popping feature set.

Today, a limited edition run of each item is available on special pre-order pricing. The Backpack starts at $300 (MSRP $430); the Trunk starts at $700 (MSRP $1050).
