— June 14, 2019 — Lifestyle
Anyone traveling this summer should consider North Face's new clamshell suitcase -- the Stratoliner—L. The roomy suitcase can bring travelers from the boardroom to their cottage with its 75-liter capacity.

The clamshell suitcase is made from durable Base Camp materials, with the ability to withstand any wear-and-tear. The Stratoliner—L features a cube that is great for storing shoes or dirty clothes in addition to a top-loading passport pocket so airport travel is a breeze. Moreover, the extendable luggage handle has a side-release option to accommodate all transportation needs. The suitcase also features a rubberized bumper that protects it from damage.

The Stratoliner—L comes in a variety of colors including 'TNF Black,' 'English Green Tropical Camo/New Taupe Green,' 'Urban Navy,' 'Silt Gray/Moonstruck Gray,' and 'New Taupe Green Splinter Camo Print/Fusebox Grey.'
