Most cabin trolley bags force you to dig the laptop out of the packing at security and hold it under one arm. The Nautica Commute is a laptop trolley bag that avoids this with a dedicated compartment for laptops up to 15.6 inches, so the computer has its own space, apart from shirts, shoes and chargers. The 42 litre capacity covers the rest of a few days’ luggage.
The shell of this trolley bag is 100% polycarbonate, a hard material that keeps its shape when bags are stacked or squeezed into an overhead locker. Fine vertical ribs run across the front, with the NAUTICA name embossed in tall letters beside them, so the bag looks bold without a printed logo. A built-in TSA dual lock secures the contents, and the handle pulls out for upright rolling.
Eight wheels rotate through 360 degrees, which lets the bag follow you sideways and around corners with a light push instead of a drag. The outer size is approximately 15.5 x 23 x 10.5 inches (about 39 x 58 x 27 cm), a tall, upright shape that stays stable when parked next to a seat or a desk.
Five colours are on offer: navy, silver, military green, light blue and black. The Commute is aimed at consultants, auditors and managers who work from airports and client sites as much as from an office, and it also suits leadership offsites and long-service milestones. It is suitable for corporate gifting.
