🛄 Glide Luggage
Glide Check-In Luggage Tips:
✔ Pack Smart Within Airline Limits
We recommend keeping your luggage weight within:
- 20–25 kg for the Medium Check-In.
- 25–28 kg for the Large Check-In.
✔ Easily Nest Your Luggage for Storage
To nest multiple sizes together, first open the expansion zipper of the larger case.
Insert the smaller case wheels-first, then zip it back up.
To separate, follow the reverse process.
✔ Enjoy Hassle-Free Packing in Small Spaces
Unlike traditional clamshell suitcases that split 50/50, Glide Check-In Luggage features a top-opening design. This means:
- Easier packing in hotel rooms and tight spaces.
- More efficient packing for bulky items.
✔ Set Your TSA Lock in Seconds
To set your TSA lock:
1. Set the dials to 0-0-0 (factory default).
2. Press the reset button using a pen.
3. Set your new combination and release the button.
Glide Carry-On Pro Tips:
✔ Check Carry-On Size Before You Fly
The Glide Carry-On Pro meets most major airline carry-on limits.
However, always check your airline’s restrictions, especially for budget airlines.
✔ Lock and Secure the Front Pocket
The lockable front pocket can be secured by engaging it with the main compartment’s zippers.
This keeps your valuables safe while keeping them accessible.
✔ Quick Access to Essentials While Traveling
The front-opening pocket is designed for fast and easy access to:
- Laptops at TSA/security checkpoints.
- Passports at immigration.
This means you don’t have to open the entire case when retrieving these items.
✔ Charge Your Devices On the Go
The built-in USB port lets you charge your phone or tablet conveniently.
1. Insert your own power bank inside the luggage.
2. Plug it into the internal built-in cable.
3. Use an external USB cable to charge your device.
Important: Always remove your power bank before checking in your luggage!
✔ Handle Extension for Smooth Rolling
All Glide Luggage sizes have a uniform handle extension height, making it easy to roll different sizes together.
This is especially useful when pairing the Carry-On with a Check-In case for seamless wheeling.
Combined with super quiet Hinomoto double wheels, rolling is effortless.
📦 Packing Cubes
✔ Pack Smarter with Packing Cubes

- Use the built-in label window on Zoomlite cubes to identify contents at a glance.
