HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA (January 23, 2006) — West Coast Trends, Inc., makers of the Club Glove, the Number One travel bag in golf, today announced that it will introduce the new Piggy Back II airline carry-on luggage at the 2006 PGA Merchandise Show.
Club Glove is touting this as the most functional carry-on bag ever made. Similar to the original two-piece Piggy Back design, it has a section that converts to a day/backpack, however that’s where the similarities end. This new design features Club Glove’s patented high-impact wheel base combined with a telescoping retractable handle that allows one to glide through busy concourses.
The main body of the luggage includes an L-shaped compartment designed to carry a mesh clothing organizer packed with your favorite outfits. The lower portion of the main body can accommodate extra shoes or toiletry kits. The detachable day/backpack fills the void of the contoured L-shaped main body to maximize its carry-on capabilities. This separate piece also includes a mesh clothing organizer, allowing the user to pack several more articles of clothing or a laptop along with other accessories.
"There have been many times when I’ve arrived at a destination and needed something to carry extra items such as bottled water, additional outerwear, a camera, etc.," comments Jeff Herold, President and Piggy Back II Designer. "This carry-on piece offers a solution by allowing one to utilize a portion of their luggage as a day/backpack. Without discounting the many wonderful Club Glove luggage pieces, this is by far the most versatile piece I have ever designed since The Last Bag nearly 10 years ago."
The Club Glove shoulder bag and travel kit are great additions to complete your carry-on ensemble for what the company feels is the ultimate airline carry-on set. These additions allow one to have their toiletries and/or laptop at their fingertips while the Piggy Back II is nestled in the overhead compartment.
As with all Club Glove products, the Piggy Back II was built with a lifetime of utility in mind. It features YKK® zippers and ITM Nexus® buckles and is constructed with the same 1000 D Invista Cordura® Plus Nylon material that is used throughout the travel bag line.
The Piggy Back II measures 23"H x 12.5"W x 9.5"D and is available in 12 standard colors including clay, red, burgundy, purple, navy, royal, green, khaki, highlighter yellow, mocha, black and charcoal. Custom embroidery is available. It comes with a LIFETIME WARRANTY and has a suggested retail price of $219.00.
