Summer Giveaway #3 - Crumpler! + Winners of Cocomo Beach wear

Summer Giveaway #3 - Crumpler!

It's a red hot scorching summer!  Everyone is packing, heading to the beach to get a tan, and enjoy great company with friends.  And even the airports are packed, and people are going to cooler places like Hong Kong or Korea, which I recently came from.  And with the recent rise in ticket fares, people are switching to budget airlines, to lower the costs of their travel needs.

But before we go further, let me announce the winners of our Summer Giveaway # 1 - Sorry for the much delayed announcement.  Without further delays the winners are:

Ms. Marie Mangaliman

Ms. Tara Cagadoc

 Ms. Lucinda Dominguez

Congrats to the winners!  Please wait for my email on

Now back to our new giveaway, these low-cost airlines which are also promoting ultra-low fares and seat sales can be tempting and yet often misleading.  Of course to maximize these low, low fares, airlines have cut their meals on board, to pay-on-board meals.  And the most important of it all?  Baggage allowance.  While most airlines offer 15kg allowance included in your ticket, budget airlines bill you for their standard 15kg baggage allowance (which you may also upgrade for a price).

And with that 15kg limit, (yes they are very strict with that), we are limited to what we bring to our trip and what we bring home from our trip.  I always hear horror stories and customers complaining of exorbitant excess baggage charges.  So with that, let me give you a tip.  Start packing early and get the lightest, most durable luggage you can get.  Yes go check your luggage now, you'd be surprised that your full-sized luggage bag alone without anything is already about 8 kg.

And with that may I present to you the Crumpler Dry Red No. 11.  Available in red and black color.  As big as it may seem, a full size luggage of 50cm x 76.5cm x 31.5cm, it's empty weight is around 4.5 kg, Wow! that's additional 3 kg of your stuff from your previous luggage.  And it stores a whopping 85 L of your travel stuff.

It has six storage zones, a front zippered pocket with two-compartment organizer and key/padlock loop, twin gripper zippered 85-litre main storage, zippered mesh pockets to the opening flap, two zippered sidewall mesh pockets, a foldaway shoe bag and get this an eye mask and carry bag.

It has four-on-the-floor wheels, to give you ease in handling, even executing 360 degree spins without a sweat.  And it also has elasticised compression straps to keep your stuff in order even after a long haul.  And so that goes with our Dry Red No. 11, your all-in-one luggage.

Now for our giveaway!

I will be giving away a Crumpler Dry Red No. 3

It is light in weight, heavy on features, perfect for short stays and overnighters.  As a carry on luggage, it has an accessible front pocket, that will hold your laptop and personal items, the main compartment holds your clothes perfectly.  You can even check it in, and the whole thing locks up to ensure the security of your belongings.

With 6 storage zones, a foldaway shoe bag, elasticised compression straps, Neoprene grip three-position trolley handle, dual padded grab handles and anti-jam wheels, the Dry Red No. 3 is your perfect carry-on luggage.
