The world’s first waterproof travel pack. Its ultralight, and its the first to use Sports Science to give a truly comfortable, injury preventing upright posture. With Earth Glider you can move more weight around the globe with less strain. Earth Glider overcomes the flaws of other travel packs:

1. The back strain from the stooped posture, forced by the deep side profile.
2. The severe leverage on your back when daypacks are carried clipped to the back of the pack, which multiplies the stoop, the strain and the pain.
3. The shoulder strain and restriction in forward vision when daypacks are clipped to the shoulder straps in front of you.

Earth Glider has a slim side profile to reduce back leverage. Add the optional Expedition Balance Pockets to create a pain-eliminating Bodypack and a truly upright posture. Balance Pockets put the weight on the front of your hipbelt, not your shoulders, and they don’t restrict vision- you can use them on any terrain. Unclip them from the pack and clip them together to make to make to a daypack, ideal as your carry-on.

When you are about to hit the smooth tarmac, drop your landing gear and pin and lock the wheels for effortless urban travel. Unlike other wheeled packs, our landing gear doesn’t compromise the superb harness shape. You can remove the wheels and carry handle to reduce weight for trekking. With a check-in weight of 2.5kg- exceptionally low for a wheeled travel pack of this size- you have more weight allowance free for your load.

Our clever U Tube doubles as a carry handle and haul handle. Our unique vertical front zip gives great access. Our harness zips away for safe handling.

Summarising the different ways to use the pack:

  * For your flight: check in the pack, carry on the Balance Pockets.

  * From airport to hotel: wheel the pack with the daypack on your back.

  * At destination: leave pack in hotel, use Balance pockets as your daypack.

  * For trekking: remove wheels & carry handle, clip Balance Pockets in front for counter-balanced, minimum effort, painless load carrying.
