Hey FT!
If you're like me and 99% of your travel is HBO even when your checked baggage allowance is 3x, then you probably need a lot from your carry-on. It's by your side during check-in, at the lounge, on-board, at the hotel, maybe even in meetings. I've tried a lot of other options but what I think is really interesting about
Barmes is I can get whatever I need from my case without having to set it down. It's a huge benefit of the 3 compartment design. It also comes with a bunch of travel accessories, some of which are a soft leather and feel pretty luxurious.
Full disclosure: this is not my company but I am working with them to offer suggestions on how to make frequent flyer travel easy. It always surprises me that none of the big luggage guys care to consult people like us that travel every week but still want something that doesn't look like we're stuck in the 90s. Anyway, if you're interested they just launched on Indiegogo and this link saves FTers $125 from the regular price:

I'm posting this because I want to know your wish list. What are the things you always wished your carry on could do? What are your favorite things about your current carry-on? What are the things you hate most? What does the ideal luggage look like for you? Now is the chance to make that happen. I'm also here to answer any questions you have about the luggage, or if you want to know how it compares to your Tumi, AWAY, Rimowa, B&R, etc.
Fire away!
