Maxlite® 5 and Maxlite® Air V2 luggage: carry-ons from 5.1 lbs and checked bags from 6.8 lbs, with 360-degree spinners and expandable packing.
Maxlite® luggage is the lightest luggage in the Travelpro® collection. Travelpro® Maxlite® 5 soft-side bags use ultra-durable lightweight fabrics, wheels, and extendable handles for the lightest luggage in our collection. Our streamlined Maxlite® hardshell luggage comes with lightweight but super durable polycarbonate cases, reducing the luggage’s overall weight and allowing you to pack heavier contents before hitting an airline’s weight restrictions.
The Travelpro® Maxlite® collection includes hardshell and softshell checked and carry-on luggage, including 2- and 3-piece luggage sets, garment bags, totes, backpacks, women’s bags, and weekenders. No matter how you travel, there’s a lightweight Maxlite® bag or luggage set that’s right for you.
Our Maxlite® lightweight luggage collection includes features that make travel easier, including PowerScope Lite handles, 360° rotating spinners, multiple interior and exterior pockets, and roomy interiors with adjustable hold-down straps.
Backed by our Travelpro® Built For A Lifetime Limited Warranty, Maxlite bags rank among the most stylish, dependable, lightweight luggage on the market.
Medium-sized lightweight luggage weighs approximately seven pounds, while larger lightweight luggage weighs between 8 and 13 pounds.
A Travelpro® Maxlite® 5 medium-sized suitcase, such as the Travelpro Maxlite® 5 25" Medium Check-In Spinner, weighs only 6.8 pounds. Carry-on luggage is even lighter: the Maxlite® 5 21" Carry-On Spinner weighs a mere 5.4 pounds. Even the Maxlite® hardshell luggage is incredibly lightweight: the Maxlite® Air V2 Medium Check-In Hardside Spinner is only 9.4 pounds.
Softside luggage is typically lighter than hardshell bags, but this depends on the materials used to make the luggage. A Maxlite® hardside suitcase, for instance, uses ultra-lightweight materials and can be lighter than comparably sized soft-shell luggage.
