Keep It Light**®** Nylon is ALOHA Collection's range of lightweight travel bags, launched in 2024 to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Every piece is crafted from 100% ripstop nylon (130 gsm) with a water-resistant DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating that’s soft, lightweight, and designed for everyday travel. The line covers everything from the Weekender carry-on to the Nylon Backpack, Daily Tote, Stubby Duffle, Sporty Duffle, Le Bébé Diaper Bag, Laptop Case, and more.

Keep It Light**®** Nylon is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. The DWR coating handles splashes, light rain, sweaty workout clothes, and everyday spills with no problem. It’s not intended to be fully submerged. The seams and zippers aren't sealed for water protection. For packing anything that cannot get wet, grab a dry bag. For most everyday occasions like travel, gym, commute, or daily life, Keep It Light**®** Nylon provides the right level of protection.

Splash-Proof® is our signature water-resistant fabric used in pouches, totes, beach bags, and hip packs. Splash-Proof® bags are the ones you reach for when you are packing wet swimsuits and beach gear. Keep It Light**®** Nylon is a soft ripstop nylon with a DWR water-resistant coating used in the Weekender, Backpack, Daily Tote, and more. Nylon bags are made for carry-on travel and workdays. Many of our customers use both: Splash-Proof® for keeping your wet and dry stuff separate and a Keep It Light**®** Weekender for the journey.

The full lineup includes a range of work to weekday essentials: the Keep It Light**®** Weekender, the Nylon Backpack, the Daily Tote, the Nylon Zipper Tote, the Stubby Duffle, the Sporty Duffle, the Nylon Le Tour Crossbody, the Hip Pack, the Laptop Case (in two sizes to fit 13 and 16-inch laptops), the Lunch Box, the Le Bébé Diaper Bag, the Les Bijoux Travel Jewelry Set, the Mini Backpack, the Pencil Case, the Go-To Wristlet Wallet and the Passport Holder. Every piece is made from the same soft, water-resistant ripstop nylon and they all coordinate well together to create your own travel system.

Yes! The Keep It Light**®** Weekender measures 18.5″ wide × 12″ tall × 7″ deep — sized to fit in the overhead bin on most major airlines or tucked under most plane seats when not packed full. The pass-through trolley sleeve also lets you stack it on top of your rolling luggage so it travels through the airport hands-free.

Several pieces do. The Keep It Light**®** Weekender, the Nylon Backpack, Le Bébé Diaper Bag, and Nylon Zipper Tote all feature a built-in pass-through trolley sleeve that slides over the handle of any standard rolling suitcase. It's our favorite small detail turning two bags into one for the airport sprint.

Both the Nylon Backpack and the Laptop Case are sized for laptops up to 16 inches. The Daily Tote also includes a padded interior sleeve that fits up to a 16-inch laptop. If you're carrying a smaller laptop, even better there's room left for cables, a notebook, and snacks.

Three easy options. Wipe it down with a damp cloth to clean off everyday surface dirt and dust. For a deeper clean, hand wash in the sink with mild soap. Most pieces can be tossed in the washing machine on the delicate cycle. Please lay flat to dry. We recommend avoiding tumble drying to preserve the DWR coating.

Yes! Most bags can be machine washed on delicate cycle, cold water and laid flat to dry. Avoid hot water and the tumble dryer to extend the bag’s life.
