Various manufacturers are releasing new travel gear and luggage to meet consumer demand for business and short-term travel.

In late July, Think Tank Canada announced an updated line of airport backpacks in several sizes, including 26-liter, 31-liter, and 41-liter models. Vertx also introduced additions to its Urban Ghost Series, such as a 36-liter Weekender Travel Bag featuring a concealed-carry compartment.

By late August, The North Face expanded its offerings with the BC Light Duffel 50, a 50-liter lightweight bag made from recycled nylon. Additionally, Ace released the Cruise Box Glint, a 33-liter carry-on suitcase featuring a mirror-finish design and a caster stopper.
