When the destination is far and the stay is long, luggage requirements change entirely — and the Explorer Arlo Pro 74cm is engineered precisely for those journeys. The largest in the Arlo Pro range, this is the full-sized checked suitcase that brings uncompromising premium construction to extended travel, without asking you to sacrifice a gram of packing space to get it.
The aerospace-grade German Makrolon polycarbonate shell delivers the kind of protection that frequent long-haul travellers genuinely rely on. Extraordinarily impact-resistant yet remarkably lightweight relative to its size, it flexes under pressure rather than cracking and returns to shape without a mark — time after time, trip after trip. At 5.15kg for a 74cm hardside case, the weight-to-durability ratio is seriously impressive. YKK zippers bring their renowned smoothness and longevity to every opening, and Japanese Hinomoto wheels — the quietest and smoothest rolling in the industry — make navigating long terminal corridors feel considerably less like hard work.
The top-open design transforms the packing experience entirely. Lift the lid, clip the side buckles to hold it open, and pack with full, unobstructed access to the entire interior — no awkward half-open zip-around sprawl across the hotel room floor. Inside, a premium soft lining, central divider panel, interior compression straps, three standard zippered pockets, and a dedicated wet pocket keep everything organised, separated, and secure throughout even the longest journeys.
Designed to nest neatly within the Explorer Arlo Pro range for those building a complete travel set — this is the 74cm case that turns long-haul travel from an ordeal into something genuinely enjoyable.

Reviews
Pretty but always breaks
"Every Explorer bag I have ever had has broken within a year of owning them. I've had 2 of the Arlo pro suitcases and both times they have broken after 1 or 2 international flights. After 2 uses is diabolical. Because of the warranty they can be replaced easily but they're not good quality bags, they're heavy for what they are and not durable. A better investment would be to get a Samsonite bag if you wanted a bag that lasts (and has a better warranty) or save some money and get a cheap Caselite (which still has a good warranty). These bags are way overpriced."

Great suitcase
"This is a great looking suitcase and although it has received some scuff marks during travel - they easily clean off with a cloth. It is stylish and a great mid size. The top opening is actually a great feature - that I didnt think I would use - but do!"
