Key Features
A polycarbonate shell protects the main compartment while a soft front panel adds a zippered DeepDrop pocket for quick access to your travel essentials — no need to dig through your whole bag at the airport.
The 400D nylon used throughout is made from 100% ocean-recycled material — durable enough for checked travel while reducing plastic waste.
Adjustable compression panels inside the main compartment keep your clothes from shifting in transit, so you arrive with a more organized, less jumbled bag.
Multi-directional spinner wheels let you roll the bag in any direction — handy when you're navigating tight airport corridors or crowded hotel lobbies with a full 67L load.
Expert Take
If you find yourself constantly frustrated by hardside bags with no external pockets, the Tarmac is worth a close look — the front DeepDrop pocket alone is a real convenience upgrade for checked travel. I'd recommend this to people who want the protection of a hard shell for fragile items but still want the flexibility of a quick-grab pocket for documents, a charger, or a day bag that didn't quite fit inside. It's a well-rounded 26" for one-week-plus trips where you're not living out of your carry-on.
