Soopl - The Urban Terrain Performance Suitcase
Engineered for streets and suites
If you are tired of your carry-on luggage struggling over cobblestones and metro gaps, a new campaign is tackling real world travel. Launching on Kickstarter, the Soopl Cabin is an urban terrain performance suitcase. By combining oversized wheels with a top loading chest design, it is engineered to handle rough city streets just as well as the polished floors of an airport terminal.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Name and Creator Soopl: The Urban Terrain Performance Suitcase by Soopl.
What It Is The Soopl Cabin is a premium carry-on suitcase designed specifically for the realities of city travel. Rather than focusing solely on airport transit, it utilizes oversized components and a durable German polycarbonate shell to smoothly navigate gravel, curbs, and tram rails.
KEY FEATURES
Oversized 125mm Wheels The core innovation lies in the wheels. At 125mm, they are more than twice the size of standard cabin wheels, allowing the suitcase to roll silently and stably over rough urban terrain instead of getting stuck in gaps.
Top Loading Chest Design Unlike traditional clamshell suitcases that require a large footprint to open, the Soopl Cabin opens from the top like a chest. This allows for incredibly easy access to your belongings even in the tightest hotel rooms.
Stepless Adjustable Handle The telescopic handle does not rely on a few fixed click positions. Instead, it is fully stepless, allowing you to lock it at the exact height that provides ergonomic comfort for your stature.
Premium Construction It features a strong frame, secure TSA zippers, and a durable German polycarbonate shell built to withstand the rigors of frequent travel while maintaining its shape.
Intelligent Interior The inside is designed with organized compartments that hold their structure, ensuring a smooth packing and unpacking experience.
Lifetime Repair Guarantee Designed for longevity, the suitcase comes with a lifetime repair guarantee that requires no receipt, emphasizing a commitment to sustainability and lasting performance.
REWARDS
Kickstarter Pricing The campaign is actively running and fully funded. Super Early Bird backers who reserved a spot prior to launch were able to secure the Soopl Cabin for 199 Euros, which represents a 33 percent discount off the expected retail price.
Options The pledge secures the core Soopl Cabin suitcase, which meets standard carry-on dimensions of 22 by 14 by 9 inches and weighs 8.5 pounds.
Delivery The Kickstarter campaign launched in September 2026. The Soopl team will keep backers updated on manufacturing milestones and expected global delivery dates as the campaign progresses.
CONCEPT
The core concept is Real World Mobility. The creators at Soopl believe that travel does not just happen in airports. Most suitcases are designed for perfectly smooth terminal floors and fail the moment they hit the actual streets of a destination. By engineering a bag with true all terrain capabilities, they aim to remove the friction from the final leg of your journey.
INSPIRATION
The project is rooted in the founder's long history of solving mobility problems for professionals. Since 1999, founder Arjan Kaan has been building heavy duty clothing racks designed to handle cobblestones for the fashion industry. Applying that same rugged engineering philosophy to consumer travel, he set out to build the exact suitcase he always wished existed, ensuring it could survive the demands of actual city streets.
