Züca
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Züca (also spelled Zuca) is a brand of rolling bag.
A Züca is a rolling gear bag consisting of a rugged aluminum external frame with an integrated seat (usable as a seat for up to 300 pounds) and an interchangeable removable bag attached to the frame on the inside. A Zuca also has flashing wheels, and a second set of wheels which help transport the rolling bag over curbs and stairs.
Züca bags come in three main types: the Züca Sport, as described above; the ZuZüca pet carrier; and the Züca Pro travel model, which has only one set of recessed wheels, extra handles, and a custom bag.
The new Pro travel model is designed to meet FAA carry-on specifications, and will fit in most overhead bins from the B-737 and MD-80 up.
While the Pro is used primairly by professional travelers, the Sport model is used by students, attorneys, bookkeepers, figure skaters, soccer mom's, makeup artists, stage crews, and a broad variety of other uses where a carryall is needed that provides rugged protection of personal gear, a sturdy place to sit, easy rolling, and extra gear carrying capability. The Sport may also be used for travel especially as the second bag that needs to be checked - it's wider stance limits it's ability to fit in overhead compartments.
A hallmark of the Züca brand has been the interchangeability the system provides. The frame and the bag may be bought together or separately, and one may swap out the bags at anytime, allowing the user to personalize the system. For this reason the company produces special editions and seasonal colours. This also allows one frame to function as both a pet carrier (with the ZuZüca insert) and a normal Züca bag. The Pro model does not feature the same degree of interchangeability yet, partially due to its youth.
Thanks to the Züca bag's exploding popularity in the Figure Skating community, the company now produces special edition Züca bags for sale at the U.S. Junior Figure Skating Championships and other venues as well. In addition the company helps struggling skating clubs by allowing "Züca fundraisers," where profits are shared.
