Ekster has developed the TravelPack™ Vacuum Kit, a system of compression bags paired with a compact, rechargeable air pump. The product innovation is designed to maximize luggage capacity and improve convenience for travelers.
Ekster's TravelPack™ Vacuum Kit relies on durable, waterproof nylon bags with airtight seals that, when air is removed via the included pump or a standard vacuum cleaner, are claimed to reduce the volume of packed clothing by up to sixty percent. This, in turn, will effectively increase available space within any suitcase or travel bag.
All in all, Ekster markets its TravelPack™ Vacuum Kit as a tool to facilitate carry-on-only travel by allowing more items to be packed into a single bag. The promise of odor containment and the protection from spills are framed as additional benefits of this offering.
