Overall Impression One of the risks we often take as travelers is dehydration. It’s subtle and slow and not always noticeable. We realize we may be dehydrated when we start feeling tired. By then, we’re probably in sore need of liquid replenishment. In these days of complicated and time consuming travel with less food and drink offered in flight, we loved the light weight and easy to carry Liquid Luggage ™ sleeve. We used the pilot designed devices successfully to carry 24 oz and one and a half liter (our favorite size) bottles of mineral water in domestic and international flights. Other than one airport security employee who wanted to make sure the bottle was unopened, it passed through security checks without a second glance.
The bottle fit snuggly in the sleeve. This was important because it kept it from falling when we had a drink of water or when it became necessary to adjust the Liquid Luggage ™ at security checkpoints and to load it into vehicles. It was for the most part easy and practical to use. We had to take the sleeve and bottle off the wheelie suitcase to pass through x-ray machine and checkpoint. This was as convenient as the rearranging all our other hand luggage required. Our tote looked attractive with our luggage and provided ready access to the water on and off planes without having to open the wheelie or other carry on luggage. We plan to take water in the Liquid Luggage ™ sleeve on future flights, especially in airports where the only water available for purchase is purified (rather than spring or mineral) water.
