Being a size zero has long been the aim of any aspiring supermodel, but a new luggage set that goes by the same name is claiming to be equally lightweight but in this instance, it isn't likely to snap at the first gust of wind at the airport.

Antler have always been a firm favourite of the staff here at Lusso. They're one of those brands that you can rely on, so when they released a new range of luggage called Size Zero, we were keen to test it out.

The large roller-case is just 3.6 kilos in weight. Not only does this lessened bulk make the case far easier to manoeuvre, but more importantly it allows the owner to pack more items without incurring weight penalties when flying home.

Antler claim the cases will survive any journey, no matter how demanding it will be. The cases have a framework which provides structure to the case. Sure, a soft bag may be lighter, but it won't provide any protection. There's no doubt that the cases are stylish. They're not ostentatious, just subdued class in a way the British excel.

Antler are rightly proud of the case and offer it with a seven year guarantee. They've tested the range to ensure the wheels, handles, structure and zips will all survive the destruction derby that I'm sure baggage handlers subject all bags to on the way to the airplane. Antler have stacked the cases under 120kg to simulate being at the bottom of a pile of suitcases onboard and then they threw the case fully loaded down 12 flights of stairs... in one go.

The range consists of three pull-along cases and a stylish messenger bag. We've got the large case and messenger bag to test, so how better to test it than to take it to the Alps on a mountain bike holiday, where it will be filled full of clothes, helmets and spares for the journey. We'll do an updated report when we return, but its looking very promising for Antler's new range.

Oh, and they're just £149 for the large case and they give you a free messenger bag.
