Feature-packed wheely case with backpack straps and optional accessories
Tropicfeel specialises in versatile, adaptable backpacks for global travellers – so their take on the classic trolley suitcase was always going to be something a bit special. With sturdy 80mm rubber wheels, it's an ATV of a roller case, but if you're going properly off-road then you can simply unzip the back panel and deploy a comfortable set of backpack straps. At 40 litres, it’s sized to be carry-on compatible, but if you've got a bit more stuff then an expandable front compartment can bump up the capacity by 12 litres, plus there's detachable 'spider mesh' on the front to contain bulkier items. Carry it in backpack mode, and you can even get an extra 4 litres by using the folding 'kangaroo' pocket in the base. Apart from that, it's full of features for the modern traveller, including a padded laptop compartment (for devices up to 16"), odour-resistant trainer compartments in the sides, and a lined waterproof compartment in the base. Pair it up with other products in the Tropicfeel 'ecosystem', including the 'Wardrobe' packing system or the Nest and Nook day packs.

Tropicfeel are relatively new on the scene – but appropriately enough for a company that started out making ‘the world’s most crowdfunded shoe’, this Barcelona-based brand has hit the ground running.
Their story started in 2016, when co-founder Alberto Espinós and his mate returned from a backpacking trip to Thailand with a serious gripe. The problem, as they saw it, was that their gear just wasn't versatile enough. They were ponying around multiple sets of kit for various different activities, spread across a mismatched set of duffels, day-packs and bum-bags.
Alberto’s vision of travel was one where a single set of apparel would do for hiking, adventurous activities and city breaks, and where adaptable, modular luggage could be combined with an efficient 'ecosystem' of accessories. Working from the ground up, he began by designing a multi-functional travel shoe, pitching it straight to a worldwide community of globe-trotters through an ambitious and meticulously planned crowdfunder.
What followed was one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns ever to come out of Spain, and Tropicfeel have been quietly rewriting the backpacker rulebook ever since.
What's kind of special about Tropicfeel is an obsessive desire to move forward – to make each new product and iteration that bit cleverer and more versatile than the last. They're also hugely conscious of their own impact, with recycled materials and ethical manufacturing at the heart of pretty much everything they do.
