Tach is for the families who despair when they go on holiday. If you’re sick of suitcases flying off in all directions, children complaining about wheeling heavy bags and having to check everyone has everything every five minutes, the Tach V3 Luggage Set is for you.

Its ingenious design means you can attach suitcases together using strong touch fasteners. This set comes with a large case (H 77.5cm, W 49.5cm, D 30.5cm), a medium case (H 68.6cm, W 41.9cm, D 26.7cm) and a small case (H 55cm, W 36cm, D 23cm). I only tested these three connected, but Tach claims one person can pull along nine fully loaded suitcases attached together. You might block the walkway in Gatwick airport as people are running to make the boarding gate, but at least you’ll look good doing it.

The three suitcases I used connected seamlessly and ran along the ground as one unit, even when piled full of heavy luggage. Each case slots perfectly into a slight raise in the middle of the below suitcase and the touch fasteners are so strong I actually struggled to undo them (Tach does promise it will loosen after a few uses).

Extra security comes in the form of a TSA lock and a pulling strap, which makes the suitcases easier to drag without straining the handles. You also get a two-year warranty. The appearance of the suitcases isn’t quite to my taste, with the indents and raised areas making it all look a little techy, but that’s a minor gripe. This is a set of good value suitcases and three for less than £350 is a steal.
