LIFEGEAR DESIGN:
FAST FACTS

LifeGear is on a mission to help travelers everywhere through innovative, durable, and lightweight products that make travel easier and more accessible. 

Our flagship brand, LiteGear, offers a wide selection of travel bags, accessories, and tools that work together in a system we call Travel Freedom -- enabling travelers to pack nearly twice as much in our carry-on luggage while helping them avoid checked bag fees, lost and damaged luggage, and other common travel headaches!


 

TRAVEL REIMAGINED
KEEP CALM AND CARRY-ON 

Flying comes with a lot of obvious conveniences. But it also comes with plenty of headaches. And one of the biggest is space.

More travelers are flying than ever, and airlines are working hard to cram even more passengers into their planes. And more bodies on planes means more bags on planes. 

In an effort to save time and money, travelers are increasingly opting to pack all of their luggage as a carry-on. The problem? Finding an inch of storage space on board has become more competitive, and the game of luggage Tetris even more frantic. 

What’s been missing is an elegant solution that allows fliers to continue enjoying the perks of carry-on-only travel minus the pain points that come with trying to fit a week’s worth of luggage under the airplane seat or in the overhead compartment. 

Meet LiteGear: where the journey is as enjoyable as the destination.
