Keep Your Outfits. Lose the Bulk.
The Suitcase Smart Vacuum Kit squeezes the trapped air out of your soft clothes, so the wardrobe you actually want fits in a smaller bag.
*Space results depend on the clothing you pack.
You shouldn't have to choose between the outfits you love and the bag you can carry.
Flying didn't used to feel like this.
The year checked-bag fees became standard at most U.S. airlines.

The fix isn't packing less. It's packing less air.
Your clothes are mostly air. We take it out.
Pack
Fold your soft clothes into the bag. About 15 items per bag.
Seal
Run the slider along the airtight zipper until it's fully closed.
Compress
Attach the USB-C pump to the valve and the air is gone.
Repack
At the hotel or on the way home, do it again. The pump travels with you.
Packing is easy at home. The real test is night seven.
- Repack anywhere. Hotel, cruise cabin, Airbnb, crew layover.
- Charges like your phone. One USB-C cable.
- Keeps dirty clothes separate. Seal worn clothes away from clean ones.
- Room for what you bring back. Free up space for things you pick up along the way.
What it does, and what it doesn't.
It does
- Shrink the volume of soft clothes
- Free up room in the bag you already own
- Keep clothes sealed, dry and separate
- Work anywhere with the portable pump
It doesn't
- Make your clothes lighter
- Squash shoes, toiletries or electronics
- Guarantee you'll never pay a bag fee
- Suit every fabric
Not another bag that pops on trip two.
- Tough ripstop shell built to be stuffed, zipped and squeezed trip after trip.
- Airtight zipper + one-way valve. The seal is the part cheap bags get wrong.
- Lifetime warranty. If a bag or seal fails from a defect, we replace it.

Questions, answered honestly.
What if the bag arrives damaged?
Email us and we'll replace it. Defects are covered by the warranty, and you also have 100 days to return anything for a refund.
How many clothing items fit in one bag?
About 15, depending on what you pack. Think two sweaters, a hoodie, four t-shirts, underwear and socks.
Do I need the pump, or can I use a vacuum cleaner?
Either. The bags work with a standard vacuum hose at home. The pump exists for everywhere else — hotels, cruise cabins, layovers.
Can I use it for dirty or damp laundry?
Yes, for worn clothes on the way home. Don't store wet items long-term — dry them first, or you'll get odors.
The zipper feels stiff the first time. Is that normal?
Yes. The seal is tight on a new bag. Pull the zipper ring upward with steady pressure rather than sideways, and it loosens after the first few uses.
Why does my package have a "Cargo Aircraft Only" label?
That's a shipping label for how lithium-battery packages travel by freight. It has nothing to do with what you can carry as a passenger — the pump is fine in your carry-on.
Will this make my bag lighter?
No. Compression shrinks volume, not weight. Weigh your packed bag and check your airline's limit, especially on budget carriers.
Can I bring the pump on a plane?
Yes. The FAA generally allows small rechargeable lithium devices under 100 Wh in carry-on bags. Keep it in your carry-on and check your airline's rules.
Will it fit my suitcase?
Each bag is about 12 x 19 x 4 in (30 x 48 x 10 cm) before compression, which suits most carry-ons. Check your bag's inside dimensions first.
Will my clothes wrinkle?
Casual clothes, knits and activewear usually come out fine. Linen, silk and dress shirts are better compressed lightly or packed loose.
Will I avoid bag fees?
It can help you fit into a carry-on instead of checking a bag. Fees depend on your fare, airline and bag size.
What if security wants to open a bag?
No problem. Open the zipper, let them check, then reseal and re-compress with the pump.
Try it on a real trip. You have 100 days.
If it doesn't make packing easier, send it back for a full refund.
