TUMI Goes Big

Having tackled luxury travel with his Townhouse Collection, Tumi creative director David Chu set his sights on messier excursions with T-Tech, a new line of bags and outerwear—the first from the company—that are both wind- and waterproof (read: primed for adventure travel). Made from durable, lightweight fabrics, the T-Tech line can resist almost anything—including wrinkling. (We tried.) Chinese explorer Wong How Man recently took the gear with him through Tibet, so consider it battle-tested—even if your particular battle doesn't go farther than the subway. Jacket, $348; vest, $298; available at Tumi stores, Bloomingdale's, and Nordstrom this fall. Thanks to Men.Style.com for the skinny.
