Tartaruga

Samsonite has re-invented the backpack with the introduction of Tartaruga. Applying almost a century of experience in luggage innovation to the outdoor category, Samsonite’s Tartaruga is a revolution that will make the heart of any urban jet setter or adrenaline sport junkie race.

Inspired by the Turtle

Tartaruga means turtle in Italian. Just like the turtle, Tartaruga delivers the ultimate protection, with a super hard shell to protect the wearer’s back in accidents - something a standard backpack would not be able to guard against. And, just like a turtle’s shell there are four Curv® or Carbon Fibre shells that are hinged together delivering as much flexibility as possible. Shock-absorbing foam with a honeycomb structure is then used in the back-panel to add further security in the event of an accident.

Protection and Flexibility

Protection of your possessions is also a priority. Underneath the top shell is a zipped pocket to guard your valuables, positioned in a way that helps ensure it can never be fallen upon. Tartaruga fuses the flexibility and function of a backpack, with the hardness and protection of a hard shell.

Style

Tartaruga also delivers high style credentials with an aerodynamic design and considered details. It appeals to the style savvy whether used in a tough urban environment, performing on the ski slopes, biking through a mountainous pass, or taking part in edgy, extreme games.
