It is lighter. It now weighs 40% less than the previous version without sacrificing any of its structural characteristics. We did this by putting in a bunch of narrow slots. And I might add that the slots end up giving a better grip.
It now fits the Strong Bags J-Hook. A relatively new travel bag maker, "Strong Bags" has a J-Hook whose rods are just a tiny bit wider than the standard rods of the "Luggage Works" J-Hook. Per customer requests, we made the notches on our new Main Handle accommodate both versions.
