Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are used in the Irish Army ULSTER suitcase?
▾
The ULSTER combines a 100% polycarbonate front panel with a black ABS back shell, delivering a lightweight yet impact-resistant exterior. Polycarbonate offers high tensile strength and resistance to cracking, while ABS adds rigidity and helps absorb shocks during handling. Both materials meet EU safety standards for travel goods.
Does the suitcase include a security lock?
▾
Yes, the ULSTER features an integrated TSA-compatible safety lock built into the zipper pull. The lock can be set with a three-digit code, allowing you to secure the main compartment without needing an external padlock. TSA agents can still access the luggage with the universal master key if inspection is required.
How many wheels does the ULSTER have and how do they turn?
▾
The suitcase is equipped with four double-wheel assemblies that swivel 360 degrees. Each wheel set is mounted on a sturdy axle, allowing the bag to roll smoothly in any direction without the need to lift it. This design reduces strain on the traveler’s arm and improves maneuverability on uneven surfaces.
Is the ULSTER suitable for international travel?
▾
Yes, the ULSTER meets airline size regulations for carry-on and checked luggage in most major carriers, and its built-in lock complies with TSA standards, making it appropriate for global itineraries. The robust polycarbonate shell also protects contents against rough handling common in international baggage handling processes.
Can I expand the storage capacity of the ULSTER?
▾
The large size of the ULSTER includes an optional extended storage compartment that can be unlocked to add extra volume for longer trips.
