American companies on Facebook advertising clever carry on luggage and not publishing dimensions, or making it not fit in a 55*40*20cm cuboid, and wondering why nobody in Europe buys it.
@Nicovel0 Yesterday I was watching a couple of YouTubes about why US car makers failed to sell their bloated gas guzzling cars in Europe and its a similar story of making products that just don’t fit anywhere else unless they have the wit and wisdom to set up locally and make products specifically for that market.
@Nicovel0 @christineburns there's a video I can't find of a hill climb. It's up a streambed, ankle deep liquid mud. Rocks. REAL 4x4's sliding back down the hill
And some french farmer just boings one of them up, one handed, fag out the window* and roars off

@Nicovel0 @christineburns They are, and they benefit from their lightness compared to suvs. However, they also have their brother on speeddial with a tractor if they do get stuck in the winter.
@Miguel Arroz Ryanair basically sets the standard here. They want to turn a plane round in 20 minutes which means the standard US “everyone spends five minutes playing luggage Tetris in the cabin” thing is right out.
I have an amazing "Carry On" training backpack that allows me to carry a laptop, regular clothes, training clothes, trainers and swim kit. Individual compartments, barriers, the works.

Worked that out a bit late. Great domestic travel bag.

The DMed me.
With the dimensions.
In fucking INCHES.
I ran them through a converter.
It doesn’t fit in the box.
This product is literally useless in Europe.
