The handle bar is a two piece symmetrical injection molded plastic material designed to carry 100+ pounds (testing in progress) without breaking. The pieces interlock together with female/male connections that snap and lock into place to hold them together. With minimal force they can be separated to allow easy access to your bag.

1) To replace the worn out handle of your favorite bag(s) without great cost

2) To prevent wear and tear of your flight bag handles

3) To provide a solid, ergonomic carrying bar in lieu of traditional fabric handles

The Handlebar will allow you to continue using your flight bag, even if the handles becoming worn out and unsightly. With an otherwise serviceable bag with bad handles, this product allows you to extend the life of the bag without great expense (or better, prevent wear-and-tear before it happens!)

Many find a solid handle more comfortable and ergonomic than a fabric handle, as it does not dig into your hand like flexible materials do.

Also, this product is designed to slip directly onto the handle of your bag without any modification to the bag itself. Aka, we made it easy to use.

Most pilot suitcases are referred to as "rollers"; most rollers have a flight bag hook that most pilots and flight attendants use to carry their flight bag, lunchboxes or carry-ons while traveling. The Handlebar is designed to fit comfortably in large or small hands and slides easily into the roller's hook without any issues. Also, when traversing escalators, it assists with the handle bar remaining in the hook. Fabric handles have a greater tendency of releasing from the hook when the bag is on a higher escalator step. This hook further abuses the handles of those bags whereas The Handlebar provides a solid fixture/protection with minimal impact on the bag’s leather or fabric handles.

The bulk of the handle directly relates to the slippage on the leather/fabric handles. The tighter the fit on the handle, the less likely The Handlebar is to slide out of place; however, when the handle is in the locked position, gravity will center the handle bar on the bags handles.

The Handlebar is made of sustainable, recycled plastic and designed to withstand 100+ pounds of carry weight!
