Open & set your lock

USING YOUR LOCK

  • To unlock: Set the correct combination (0-0-0 for new suitcases) and slide the latch Ⓒ to the right.
  • To lock: Ensure the correct combination is set and push the zippers into the lock, then scramble the combination.

CHOOSE, SET, AND SAVE YOUR COMBINATION.

  1. With the lock set to the correct combination (0-0-0 for new suitcases), push down the reset button Ⓐ with a pen or pointed object until it clicks.
  2. Hold down the button and roll the digits Ⓑ to the combination of your choice.
  3. Slide the latch Ⓒ to the right. The reset button will pop back up and your combination will be set.

We suggest taking a minute now to email the combo to yourself, tuck it into your passport, or save it as a contact in your phone in case you lock yourself out later.

TSA-approved combination lock: Using this Travel Sentry® lock allows your luggage to be opened, inspected, and relocked by security authorities without damage. For more information, visit: www.travelsentry.org

Please note that once you set your lock, no one else will be able to get in your bag—and that includes us.

Take Care

KEEP IT CLEAN

Matte finish: A washcloth and mild soap will remove any minor scuffs, and the included melamine sponge will take care of the more stubborn marks.



Gloss finish: The best way to clean your Gloss suitcase’s shell is to use a microfiber cloth and glass cleaner. We don’t recommend using a magic eraser, as it could cause damage to the Gloss finish. To repair any scratches, apply a dime-sized portion of car polish to the scratched area and gently rub with a microfiber cloth until the scratches are improved or removed. Allow the luggage to dry for 2-3 minutes.

STOW AWAY

When you’re not traveling, keep your suitcase somewhere safe and out of the way. If you have multiple sizes, nest them to save space.

On the inside

TO THE LEFT Ⓐ

This side has a zippered mesh enclosure, designed to store hard, bulky, and non compressible items like shoes or toiletries.

ON THE RIGHT Ⓑ

This side’s perfect for clothing and anything else that’s soft and easy to press down. Pile up your clothes, buckle the compression pad, and tighten the straps to pack it all in. Use our Insider Packing Cubes (not included) to stay organized and save even more space. There’s also a mesh pocket on the compression pad Ⓒ for laptops, tablets, or magazines. Unzip the small pouch Ⓓ at the base of your suitcase and voilà: a removable laundry bag.

On the outside

Your suitcase is made from a lightweight and durable polycarbonate shell that has a little flex to it, letting you pack even more.

In your pocket

If your suitcase doesn't have a pocket, you can skip ahead.)

Your Carry-On’s front pocket gives you instant access to the things you want nearby on the road (laptop, passport, crosswords, etc.), and is designed to stand up to everything from inclement weather to rough baggage handlers.

Ⓐ A shallow zippered pocket for the things you need to grab or stow quickly, like boarding passes.

Ⓑ An interior zippered pocket for keeping your passport, wallet, or phone safe.

Ⓒ The ideal spot to store your laptop for easy access and extra protection, cushioned with mesh neoprene and reinforced by the shell of your suitcase itself.

Ⓓ Zipper pulls can accommodate a small lock for extra safety.

If you choose to check your Carry-On, we recommend removing your laptop (and anything else fragile) and taking it into the cabin with you.
