Best Overall Product: Delsey Helium Cross Trip – 27” Upright Since its inception in 1997, Samboro Luggage (Canada) Corp. has been a major distributor of luggage, travel accessories, and bags sold under the Samboro, Delsey, WestJet, and Bon Voyage luggage brands. Their Delsey Helium Cross Trip – 27” Upright is attractive, light-weight yet durable, and has lots of pockets available for use. However, according to Samboro president Ivan Lam, the defining feature of the line is its patents-pending Zip Secure Tech engineering, an innovation that considerably hinders attempts to break into the luggage by breaching the zipper. Thieves bypass locks on luggage by attacking zippers, explains Lam. “Often times, travelers don’t realize that their luggage has been compromised, because zippers without this technology can be easily broken into and then closed again. It appears as if nothing has happened.” Zip Secure Tech technology reduces the chance that your luggage will be broken into and valuables stolen or dangerous materials planted among your personal belongings. “I’ve asked people to try to break through this tough zipper with a ballpoint pen and the pen has broken,” Lam says. Samboro has been supplying the luggage and travel goods industry since 1987. The new Delsey product lines, such as the “Delsey Cross-Trip Collection” with its innovative zipper, are now available in Canada as of the summer of 2010.
