If you've ever tried to roll a carry-on through a busy airport while keeping a backpack on your shoulder, you already know the problem. The backpack slides. You hike it back up. It slides again. You're weaving through crowds with one hand on your suitcase and one eye on your bag, already tired before your flight even boards.
That's the exact problem the Roam Link was built to solve.
What is the Roam Link?
The Roam Link is an adjustable luggage strap that secures your backpack, duffel, or personal item directly to your rolling carry-on suitcase. Instead of carrying your second bag on your shoulder, it rides on the back of your carry-on — stable, secure, and completely out of the way. You roll one unit through the airport with both hands free.
It's made from high-quality nylon with an elastic center and a quick-release metal buckle. The two adjustable ends mean it fits over any bag combination — an oversized hiking pack, a slim laptop bag, a gym duffel, a tote. If you can put it on your back, the Roam Link can hold it to your suitcase.
How it works
Set your backpack against the back of your carry-on. Wrap the Roam Link around both bags and clip the buckle. Pull the adjustable ends tight. That's it — takes about 10 seconds. Your backpack is now locked to your suitcase and stays put the entire time you're rolling through the terminal.
When you reach your gate and need to stow your backpack overhead or under the seat, unclip the buckle and you're free in seconds. No wrestling with straps, no tangled mess.
The roll-up storage feature
One thing that makes the Roam Link different from a basic luggage strap is the roll-up storage design. When you don't need it — on the flight, at the hotel, at your destination — it rolls up compactly and stays attached to your carry-on handle. You never have to dig through your bag looking for it or stuff it somewhere you'll forget. It's always right there when you need it again.
Who it's for
The Roam Link is for anyone who travels with more than one bag — which is basically everyone. It's especially useful if you:
- Travel carry-on only and always have a backpack as your personal item
- Have shoulder or back issues from carrying bags through long airports
- Travel frequently for work and need to move fast through terminals
- Have kids and need both hands free at the airport
- Just want the airport experience to be less annoying
How it compares to built-in luggage sleeves
A lot of carry-on suitcases have a built-in sleeve on the back designed to slide over the handle. The problem is those sleeves only work with bags that have a flat, panel-style back — most backpacks slide right out of them, especially heavier ones. They also only fit a limited range of bag sizes.
The Roam Link wraps around the outside of your bag instead of relying on a sleeve, which means it actually holds. It works with any bag shape, any size, and any suitcase — not just the one it came with.
Patent pending
The Roam Link's design is patent pending with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. It's not a knockoff of anything else on the market — it was built from scratch to solve a specific problem that generic luggage straps don't address.
