Dropped by Manor Lausanne today and saw that they had a new line of ultralight weight soft-sided luggage on sale. As it is a new brand, I am not sure if it is a "one shot" purchase or not (so if interested, don't wait and complain later when it is sold out).

The issue of luggage weight is becoming more of a pain, and it is not just with the likes of Easyjet. It seems that all of the airlines are getting in on the act.

Check the weight of your own suitcases when empty. Most already weight 5+ kg. for larger sizes. Does not leave much for actual clothes or purchases if the max allowed is 20 or 21kg.

Anyhow, here are the details and a couple of photos:

Brand name - Sub-0-Go
Style - Softsided
Three sizes available - 49cm carry on, 62cm mid-size and 72cm large size.
Colour - black only
Guarantee - two years (so of course less that a Samsonite etc.)
Inside - Lined but without any separations which I prefer.
Carry on - 49cm, 30L capacity, 1.94kg for CHF 80
Mid-size - 62cm, 57L capacity, 2.43kg, for CHF 99 (the mid-size fits inside the large size).
Large size - 72cm, 84L capacity, 2.66kg, for CHF 129
