Weigh To Go keeps you from paying excess luggage surcharges
(Credit: Quirky)
Thanks to my traveling partner's packing skills, most of the time we end up squeezing well over 25kg into our trusty Samsonite suitcase. Not such a big deal, until you reach the airport and discover the exorbitant rates they charge for excess luggage. Fortunately, there is now a simple and elegant answer to improve your load packing skills.
The Weigh To Go luggage tag/weighing scale combo is one of those "why didn't I think of that" ideas. The ruggedized unit uses two velcro straps and a lockable steel carabiner to prevent theft of the unit. To use, simply lift the tag for 5 seconds and the display will show the weight in kilograms or pounds. Available for preorder at US$33, the Weigh To Go will start production and ship once orders reach 775 units.
