Tested for the Journey: Our Luggage Durability Standards

How do we test our luggage? Every Jekyll & Hide suitcase is loaded with 25 kg and put through four tests: 300 telescopic-handle drop cycles, 300 carry-handle drop cycles, 32 km rolled at a 45° angle on a rough-surface treadmill, and drops from 90 cm onto its surfaces, edges and corners.
