Stairs are the mortal enemy of wheeled suitcases and have been a point of struggle for decades, so the 'TraxPack' carry-on cases are here to help offer a solution.
The 'TraxPack' works by incorporating a tank-inspired set of tracks on the backside of the case; this enables the pack to lay down on its back and slide gracefully up staircases. This deters the need to physically carry packs up and down, and reduce the instance of injury caused by the process.
Available now for preorder on Kickstarter, the 'TraxPack' carry-on cases are also designed to be a smart solution for travel with location tracking technology and an integrated charger for devices. As the cherry on top, the 'TraxPack' features a built-in scale to easily check if you're over the weight capacity for the baggage.
