After you purchase, each order is processed and prepared at our warehouse within 1-2 days. When your order is picked up from our warehouse, it then passes through customs this can take between 24-48 hours. UPS Ground often takes 7-10 days from the date of purchase to arrive depending on the location of your address.

Our fulfillment team works tirelessly to ensure the success of each order. That being said, their weekends and federal holidays are deservedly spent away from the warehouse. When orders are placed during those times, they will be fulfilled on the following business day.

Our warehouse works really hard to get orders out as soon as possible. Most of the time we are not able to intercept orders after they are placed. If the delivery address needs adjustment,although we do provide free shipping, the customer is liable for any additional costs including change of address fee, return to sender, etc. There is no guarantee we are able to adjust orders once en route. If you have a time frame that you need your order by, we suggest placing an order in the preferred color and size and then returning the original order when it arrives.

At this time, we ship to the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

Carry On Closet 3.0

Check In Closet

Endeavor

Where do we start? Maybe it is the closet insert that makes packing and staying organized while traveling so much easier. Or maybe the polycarbonate shell and Shortex lining made of ocean bound plastic creating an incredibly durable and conscientious design. Or it could be the handy USB port or lock that you fancy.

We encourage you, to try it out and let us know what you think make our luggage so special. Tag us @solgaard on instagram and twitter to tell us why you think Solgaard luggage is so special.

Both of our carry-on suitcases are compatible with most airlines. Use this link to see an overview of compatible airlines.

The size of the carry on you choose depends on your needs, but here's a breakdown of your options:

The Carry On Closet is a great choice for weekend trips it packs 3-6 days worth of clothes, depending on your reliance on basics. The Carry On Closet Plus is excellent for long weekend or week long trips it packs approximately 7 days of clothing.

If you're traveling locally or short distances, the Carry On Closet and Carry On Closet Plus are both excellent choices. For longer trips that will require you to store more in your luggage, try the Check In Closet.

The Carry On Closet and Carry On Closet Plus can both be carried on most airlines in the overhead compartment.

The Check In Closet, as suggested by the name, is meant to be checked before boarding.

The Carry On Closet latches shut and does not expand. The Carry On Closet Plus is a slightly larger version of the Carry On Closet. Both have a TSA Approve Lock and USB Port for easy charging.

All of the Solgaard designed backpacks include a Suitcase Seatbelt for easy fastening of the backpack to the handle of our luggage. Just slide the backpack onto the handle and keep on rollin'.

*You only need to be Bluetooth synced to one of the devices. The other boombox connects to the boombox itself like a daisy chain.

Yes. The Endeavor when expanded is still considered a personal item. When expanded, it may not fit underneath the seat in front of you, but can be stowed in the overhead bin.

The Solarbank can be recharged with the power of the sun 🌞 OR you can plug it in and charge from an outlet.

We suggest in a notes tab on your phone or on a piece of paper kept in your wallet or passport. We do not want you locked out. *Please note it is possible when opening the packaging, the zip tie caught the last number as it was opening and likely it was accidentally set to 009 or 099 or 008, something like those digits. Try those combinations or 001, 002, or something close to that. This is very uncommon but something we like to point out just in case!

Lifepack

Lifepack Lite

Carry-On

There is a vegan leather swatch on the inside mesh of Carry On and Check In closets.

The Laundry Bag or the sham that comes with all luggage is not waterproof. It is made of Shortex®. It's perfect for dirty clothes, it is not perfect for a wet bathing suit.

The Lifepack is our flagship product. It is compatible with both the Solarbank and Boombox and includes a patented anti-theft lock with coil design. The bag's capacity in litres is a little under 18 Litres. Additionally, there is an integrated USB port for easy charging.

The Daypack is our everyday backpack made entirely from recycled ocean plastics that does not have the front window designed for the Solarbank or Boombox. It's a great choice for kids going to school or short trips that may not require on-the-go charging.

The Endeavor a weekender you where on your back. It features the Lifezone and Workzone like the Lifepack, but the Lifezone is expandable and has it's own compatible closet insert for optimal packing. Like the others, the laptop sleeve accomodates up to a 16" laptop and offers wrinkle free paper storage, protected glasses Pocket and cable organization. When compact the Endeavor is 28 Liters compact and 38 liters when expanded.

Solgaard bags have a pretty easy upkeep regimen. Just use a cloth dampened with warm water and a little bit of soap. That should remedy any stain.

A 2022 answer for a very 2022 question! If you're trying to stay safe we recommend a non-harsh disinfectant for post-travel cleaning of the backpacks and luggage and again warm water with a little soap if the shell requires a little scrubbing.

Solgaard luggage is water resistant. You should be safe if caught in the occasional rain storm. Submerged in water - we can't guarantee anything. A drink spilled - you should be totally fine. All backpacks have a water resistant bottom.

We use ocean-bound plastic in the production and manufacturing of most of our products. The amount of upcycled ocean-bound material used is not included in this number.

On top of all ocean-bound plastic content, we work with collection partners in southeast Asia who do collections on beaches, mangroves, riverways, and coastal communities. In these cleanups, it's not just bottles that are saved, but also plastic bags, sachet packaging, and more.

To date (February 2023, we have offset more than 1.1 million lbs of plastic from entering our ocean)

Collection groups we have worked with include: The Plastic Bank, Sungai Watch, EcoRanger Indonesia, and Coralive. We publish regular updates about our collection efforts which can be seen at www.huberperez.site/Impact

While we usually have a positive outlook on like - in this case we're negative!

Plastic negative means that, we don't have any single use plastics in our products, and we don't use any single use plastic in our shipping process. (excpet for the glass and stainless steel cover on our watches - there's no commercially available protective coating made from seaweed yet!) As a result of our low plastic footprint from our products, our additional offset of 5lbs per product puts us well above and beyond what's necessary to be plastic negative.

We are working on this now (posted December 2021) with the target of all our activites being carbon neurtral and negative during 2022. We will do this through offsets at first, as we learn the areas we can minimize our initial impact. We have already taken massive steps since day one with our fabric dying processes, ensuring we're doing things the most eco-friendly way since we started in 2016.

While we aren't officially Vegan Certified™, none of our products contain any animal byproduct to our knowledge. We confirm this internaly with our supply chain and manufacturing partners annually. Materials you see on the product that may appear to be leather are in fact vegan leathers. We use materials such as apple peel leather - which is a leather-like material made from apple peels, as well as polyurethane vegan leather.

We will remain plastic negative, and as we get our status to carbon negative too, we'll continue to work with ethical partners around the world doing ocean cleanup work, as well as carbon capture projects. We're obessed with our ocean - it creates 70% of the oxygen for the planet so we believe that a healthy ocean is the biggest opportunity for helping the planet for the near and the long term. Plastic cleanups are complex to execute, but easy to understand. Carbon capture projects are more complex to understand, and can be complex to execute - but if done right, they carry on and support life on their own. We're currently dreaming of large scale kelp and seaweed forests which can capture and sequester huge amounts of carbon. If you're working on anyhting in the seaweed/kelp/carbon capture space - please reach out to us.

During 2022, we'll be announcing some exciting 'end of life' processes for our products that we can't wait to share.

Shore-Tex® is our fabric made from 100% recycled plastic. It's a durable and long lasting fabric made from recycled plastic. It's used as the shell fabric on our backpacks, as well as the lining fabric on our backpacks and suitcases. We also use Shore-Tex® where applicable on our Solar Boombox and HomeBase audio products.

Shore-Plast™ is our durable material made from 100% recycled plastic used as the shell on our Solar Boombox, Juicepack, and HomeBase electronics products range. It's also used in our Shoreline watch collection.
