Jetsetter Classic
Professional pilot, mechanical engineer designed, aluminum/magnesium alloy topload roll aboard cases.
We offer our Paradox Jetsetter Classic Roll Aboard in two color collections:
COLORS
The Dark Sky Collection is blacked out by hard anodizing the aluminum/magnesium alloy which not only gives the case is stealthy black hue, but protects the alloy from light scratches and weathering.
The Star Light Collection most closely matches the natural aluminum/magnesium alloy color under it. It's color is reminiscent of a bygone era of early aviation and immediately draws the eye to it. It is protected with an anodized plating that protects the alloy from light scratches and weathering and if a deeper scratch occurs is better at blending in with the rest of the case.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Decades of professional flying experience have culminated in our beautiful high end aluminum hardside luggage. We let no compromises into our design philosophy to make the best looking, most functional luggage available at any price. We had very specific design requirements for our Jetsetter Classic collection:
- Beautiful aluminum construction with bespoke looks.
- Compartment is fully secured behind TSA compliant locks with no zippers.
- No external fabric construction to get wet or torn or cut open.
- Protection from impact or crushing for the items inside.
- Easy access compartment for cell phones, water bottles, hats or gloves in addition to your packed items.
- Lightest weight hard side luggage
- Easy rolling on four castering wheels to easily maneuver terminals and the aisle.
- Added corner protections from rough bag handlers, and baggage carousels.
- Easily removable and replaceable wheels.
DIMENSIONS
Unlike our competitors bags which are often measured without handles and wheels, and grossly larger when packed, our cases remain dimensionally correct empty or full. Further we are on average 25%-50% lighter!

Outside, you might appreciate that our Jetsetter Classic collection was inspired by the corrugated airliners of the early days of aviation. The use of corrugated aluminum allowed for thinner materials to be used and still withstand high loads and impacts on those aircraft. Our use of corrugated aluminum/magnesium alloy makes for a very very light (our lightest weight to volume luggage we sell) but strong case that happens to look great too! The case rolls on our four castering dual wheel assemblies that are designed with a quick release mechanism so if you need a more compact case you can simply pop off the wheels and set the case on its base losing 2.5" (6.3CM) in height. This also insures that if you ever damage a wheel, you can replace it in the field without any tools. There are no zippers to fail or fabric to tear or be cut to get into your case. Everything inside is secure behind dual TSA compliant combination locks that are a simple squeeze to spring open and simple single push to close. The single top opening clamshell opens both up and out exposing the full opening of the main case. The lid stays open with dual arms that have overcenter locks to keep it where you want it. Around the lid is our tongue and groove seal like all our cases. This means that whether it be rain or snow, or even a garden hose your valuables inside will stay dry!
Inside our case has a dedicated pocket for your small laptop, tablet or phone, book or notepad right at the front with a velcro strap to keep it secured. We provide four additional smaller velcro secured pouches to keep items like passports, wallets, glasses, phones and more secured and easy to access. But the real beauty is the open compartment to pack as you like. There is plenty of room for a large 17"+ laptop. Use it like a rolling briefcase and a weekends worth of clothes or pack it for a 3-4 day trip. Add our Compression Packing Cubes and you might be able to stretch a week out of our 18" Ridgeline case!
We also offer an optional Insert Kit for your Jetsetter converting it into a high end equipment hauler. These inserts are similar to camera cases with movable padding to customize the case to fit your equipment!
Optional mounting shoe versions are available. If you have one of our Professional Flight Crew roll aboard cases you can mount your Jetsetter using our mounting shoe version which allows it to slide down the cargo track making the two cases act as one. This provides a solid mount for your two cases. No hooks or precariously stacking one on top of the other. Simply choose your color and select the 'mounting shoe' version.
This case is a "carry-on" in the 18" and 19" size. The 20" size is slightly over the carry on size limitations but usually fits the overhead bins.
Compression packing cubes are highly recommended to maximize your packing space! Our cubes can be found HERE.
OPTIONAL CUSTOMIZATION We offer laser etching to all our hard cases. Unlike a name tag that can be easily removed or lost, your case will forever be yours with laser etched ownership. You can add your name, rank, airline, or even a slogan or logo, the choice is yours. Etching the Dark Sky cases comes out in a lighter gray color giving a nice contrast and good visibility. Etching the Star Light cases comes out in a darker charcoal color on top of matte anodized color providing subtle contrast and a clean look. If you want we can etch up to 6.75"/6.75". Opting for laser etching voids your ability to return the case due it's customization. To order etching please add it HERE as a separate item from the product page. We will reach out to you for your desired customization.
