The case is paired with a carbon fiber handle that can be extended up to your choice of height at 35-inches or 39-inches. The Peak Design Roller Pro carry-on suitcase is rounded out with a series of clever features including an exterior laptop compartment, an AirTag pocket, passport holder, mounting loops, protective rear bumpers and more.
