We turned something you drag into something that moves with you.

The GLIDESPEED Carry-On rolls on racing roller wheels, the kind professional inline skaters use, over an articulated coil suspension inspired by rally racing. The suspension reduces the vibration that comes up the handle on cobblestones and cracked pavement.

Curved wheel edges reduce friction so it rolls with less effort. A zipperless external closure opens faster, resists water better and is harder to puncture than a zipper. Inside: an Alcantara lining, a water-resistant pocket for liquids and a vented compartment that keeps worn clothes away from clean ones.

Choose your build:

  • Polycarbonate: Light and durable, for frequent travel.
  • Aluminum: Classic strength that picks up character with every trip.
  • Carbon Fiber: Light and stiff, with a visible carbon weave.
  • Titanium: The metal of jet airframes.

Every model has YKK EYL zippers inside, a TSA-approved quick lock and an external hook that holds a bag or a coat while you wait at the gate. All but the polycarbonate add a reinforced aluminum frame.

Watch the features that RAISE THE BAR¯

Articulated Coil Suspension

Inspired by rally racing, the articulated coil suspension reduces the impacts and vibration of rough ground, so the suitcase stays steady in your hand.

Racing Roller Wheels

The wheels come from professional inline skate racing, where a race can come down to a millimeter. On a suitcase, that means grip on polished floors and a smooth roll over everything else.

Curved Wheel Edges

A curved wheel edge touches less ground. Less contact means less friction, and a smoother roll.

Zipperless Closure

Seamless external closure replaces traditional zippers with a TSA - approved quick lock. Prevents punctures from thieves, adds water resistance, and allows faster, smoother access.

Water-Resistant Pocket

A separate pocket with a water-resistant lining keeps liquids, toiletries and skincare away from your clothes.

Vented Compartment

A vented compartment for shoes or worn clothes, so they get air and stay away from everything clean.

Alcantara Interior

The lining is Alcantara, the same material used in high-performance car interiors.

The Look

Inspired by aerospace design: every curve and edge is shaped around how the suitcase moves.

Aluminum Frame

Every Carry-On except the polycarbonate one has a reinforced aluminum frame. It takes the knocks of travel and picks up a patina from every trip.

ENGINEERED FOR MOTION

Years of testing with engineers from racing, skating, and industrial design. Every GLIDESPEED wheel was built to turn friction into flow.
