Detailed Review of the IT Duotone Spinner Hand Luggage Cases
You can get these cases in carry-on, mid-sized and large. Here the focus is on the cabin-sized version. Which is 53cms tall. With other hand luggage at 55cm compatible with the major airlines, you’ll have no problems with this case. The full dimensions are: 53cm tall, 36cms wide and 21.5 cms deep. Carrying capacity of a generous 36 litres.
Construction is a hard-wearing polyester. With the aluminium tubing, this keeps the overall weight down to just 2.2kgs. There is a 10-year warranty, with quality assured for every IT case that you buy.
You can choose from 4 colour combinations. These all follow the split in the main picture above, with the trim varying with each combination:
- Fuchsia Red + Magnet
- Charcoal Grey + Black
- Orange + Red Dahlia
- Teal Green + Steel Grey
IT Duotone: Pockets and Compartments
Having two front pockets help this carry-on stand out from many rivals. These follow the colours. There is a bigger flap on the bottom section, with a smaller padded pocket on the coloured contrast section.
The main compartment is deep. The front opens to reveal a single inner section (rather than the popular half / half split). You can then unzip the inside of the front, which will give you additional storage for smaller items. There are two elasticated straps in the main department to help keep your things in place.
Handles and Extras
There are some nice extras for the IT Duotone. These include a zip to cover up the pulling handle when this is not in use. The polyester material is in the contrasting tone, which is a nice smaller touch. The handle is push button for quick access.
IT claim that their spinner wheels are the best out there – leading the industry. These also have the colour contrast and are single all-direction wheels. You’ll get a carrying handle on the top, and an additional one on the side.
Feedback: What Buyers Said About the IT Duotone Carry On
It was the dual front pockets which came in for the most praise. People even went as far as to list the kind of items that could go into them. The designs are distinctive enough to generate feedback, which comes as no surprise. The carrying capacity did get a couple of mentions.
No hugely negative feedback. Lack of padding was mentioned, and the quality of the side-handle was not up to scratch for one person!
There is not a huge amount of feedback for this model. If you wanted to dig further, then some of the popular IT check-in cases have a lot more. You’ll find the comments in line with those here – a decent, lightweight case for the money.
Wrapping Up: How Does the IT Duotone Carry On Case Compare?
Some makers go with crazy designs, bold colours or quirky pockets. With their Duotone range, IT have gone down a more ‘classic’ route. Their cases are distinctive, without being too loud. You’ll know whether you like them on first glance.
If you do like the design, then the practical aspects all check out. Light, roomy yet the right size to get onto a plane without any issues. That double front pocket is the icing on the cake for many users.
