Peak Design's $449.95 Carry-On: Bigger & Cheaper

Peak Design has released the Roller Lite Carry-On, a more affordable and efficient suitcase with a hard-sided clamshell design, starting at $449.95. This new model is part of a new Lite family of suitcases, which aims to bring the features and design concepts of the previous Roller Pro model to a more traditional and affordable design.

The Roller Lite Carry-On measures 21.7 x 13.8 x 9 inches and is available in three colors: black, cypress (emerald green), and stone (earth tones). A slightly larger version, the Roller Lite Carry-On Plus, is also available, measuring 22.5 x 15 x 9 inches and costing $469.99.

In comparison, the previous Roller Pro model, which initially cost $425 during its crowdfunded launch, now costs $599.95. The Roller Lite Carry-On offers a more affordable option for travelers, with a larger interior space and a more traditional design.

## What's in the Lite family The Lite family of suitcases includes the Roller Lite Carry-On, the Roller Lite Carry-On Plus, and the Roller Lite Trunk, which measures 30 x 16.1 x 13.8 inches and costs $549.95. All of these models are designed to be more affordable and efficient than the previous Roller Pro model.

## Why it matters The release of the Roller Lite Carry-On is significant because it addresses one of the main criticisms of the previous Roller Pro model: its high price. The new model offers a more affordable option for travelers who want a high-quality, efficient suitcase without breaking the bank. With its hard-sided clamshell design and larger interior space, the Roller Lite Carry-On is a great option for travelers who want a reliable and stylish suitcase.

The Roller Lite Carry-On has been tested on several trips, including a two-day journey to Rome and a week in Tucson, Arizona, and has proven to be a great travel companion. Its understated yet sophisticated design makes it a great option for travelers who want a good-looking suitcase that is also functional and efficient.
