In 2014, Canadian airlines followed a troubling global trend by slapping consumers with across-the-board fees on checked-in luggage. This left travelers frustrated and concerned about the rising costs of flying.

In the wake of this, Standard Luggage founder and adventurer Ryan Chong (traveling through the cities and countryside of Southeast Asia) realized that there was a need for better gear. At every hotel, hostel and truck stop, Ryan faced an “exploding duffle” problem. He was frustrated, wasting time organizing and repacking at each spot. Worse still, Ryan realized his gear was becoming uncomfortable to wear, and super expensive to check-in. After returning home, Ryan had a new problem to fix; a new adventure on which to embark on.

Smart fliers know the best way to fly is carry-on only. Doing so saves consumers $50+ in round-trip-fees, allows them to skip the lines at the airport, and you never risk having luggage lost or stolen. Carry-on flyers travel light, never overpack, and move between checkpoints, vehicles, and hotels free from stress.
