Samsonite has updated their best-selling backpack, adding a wheeled backpack silhouette, to create the perfect crossover, multi-functional capsule. Better than basic ballistic, these standout styles feature signature red accents and hardware synonymous with this evergreen line! The Samsonite NuTech 17” Backpack is the next generation of our Tectonic 17” Backpack. We held to the idea if it’s not broke, don’t break it and only gave the overall look an update.
