A FUNCTIONAL SUPERIORITY
REAL LIFE IS OUR LAB
Our innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum. People inspire everything we do. Which is why we take each and every product out into the real world, testing, touching and trying in every imaginable scenario — and ultimately rejecting anything that doesnt upgrade and streamline your life.
CHALLENGE #1
STRESSFUL, SLOW-MOVING SECURITY LINE
SOLUTION
TUMI T-PASS®
Security is essential – but our goal is to cut down your time in line. With TSA-approved T-Pass® technology, you can leave your laptop in your bag as it passes through scanners – giving you one less thing to worry about while getting to get the gate.
CHALLENGE #2
IDENTITY THEFT
SOLUTION
TUMI ID LOCKâ„¢
Wireless identity theft — where theives use a small, hidden scanner to pick up the information stored in the magnetic strip of credit cards and IDs — can happen in 12 seconds, and is becoming an alarming epidemic. Our RFID-blocking ID Lock material, used in pocket linings, haults the transmission, keeping sensitive information safely unreadable.
CHALLENGE #3
MORE BAGS THAN HANDS
SOLUTION
ADD-A-BAG SYSTEM
Our Add-a-Bag technology quickly and easily allows travelers to effortlessly carry two or three items at the same time with one hand. Our patented Add-a-Bag hook holds in excess of 90 kg’s. Alternatively, many TUMI business bags, totes and backpacks feature a back sleeve that slips over luggage handles allowing travelers to stack and carry multiple items.
CHALLENGE #4
SHOULDER STRAP SLIPPAGE
SOLUTION
TUMI PATENTED ARTICULATING SHOULDER STRAP
Move with greater ease with our patented shoulder strap design. The metal loop joints that attach the straps to the shoulder pad help keep the bag from sliding off your shoulder as you move.
