Available in 3 different sizes!  19″ for that quick trip, 21″ which is the standard workhorse, and 24″ for those extended trips.  Please select the size you would like below the YouTube video.

What forms the core of the Helix Pro Roller is its unique handle, an ergonomically designed grip with two-axis rotation and a high strength carbon-fiber tube. This swiveling grip gives you a much more secure and comfortable hold on the bag, allowing you to pull it around without straining your wrist, elbow, or shoulder.   The two points of rotation allow you to grip the handle naturally, minimizing the load and helping you carry your luggage through the airport every day without feeling the stress on your wrist, elbow, and shoulder.

    I absolutely love my Helix Pro bag. The handle is fantastic and it glides so easily. I purchased the larger bag since I normally pack more than I need for trips. This is the perfect size bag! I think everyone should have one!! – Karen C.

    A truly fantastic product, worth the wait! – William S.

    The Helix Pro Roller is an amazing bag. Because it is unlike any other bag it does have an adjustment period for the user. Loading it with accessories does need to change because of the new handle, but other than that it’s perfect. Lighter than the other aluminum based bags. It fits nicely into modern overhead bins. And is a breeze to navigate the airport. – Chris B.

    Strongbags lives up to its name of being “Strong”. My Vortex bag is still going strong for 12 years of use. I’ve only replaced the wheels once. I expect much of the same with my new Helix Pro. The ergonomic handle makes it a breeze to pull and I like the way it can rotate for multiple positions for your hand and wrist. With Strongbags you should never have to replace the full bag again. Every component can be individually replaced if they wear out. Just a great well thought out crew bag that looks good too. – John C. Spirit

    StrongBags are the only bags I will fly with. For over ten years they have been reliable and easy to repair. Helix seems to be 5 star. John D.

    I love my Helix Pro! I am a flight attendant, and I have been using my Helix Pro on several two- and three-day trips. I love that it is so much easier, and natural, to walk with my arm at my side holding the Helix Pro handle – my arm thanks you!

    My previous bag was the Strong Bag 21″ Vortex, and I do feel that there is less room inside the 21″ Helix Pro – which is not necessarily a bad thing – it just forced me to reduce the things I’ve been carrying for 14 years and never really needed. I got the additional outside pockets and love them!

    I used the additional straps to secure my Strong Bag Briefcase for a couple trips, but decided it was too time consuming to attach/detach the straps each time I got into/out of hotel vans, the plane, my car, etc. Instead, I consolidated my Strong Bag Briefcase and my Strong Bag Canadian Cooler and purchased a Strong Bag Summit, which I attach to the front of the Helix Pro with the luggage strap/clasp.

    I’ve learned to “balance” myself better when pulling the Helix Pro – my previous wild turns now end up with a tipped over bag! I now keep my arm down by my side, with my palm facing my body, and I’ve learned to hold the handle nice and low, so that the weight of the bag is totally off my arm, and being carried by the Helix Pro.

    I’ve had lots of comments and questions from other crew members while I am on trips, and I highly recommend the Helix Pro. It’s reduced the strain on my shoulder/arm, it is well-designed, and along with my Summit bag, all my belongings are nice and compact. – Susan M. Frontier Flight Attendant

    I purchased my 21″ Helix Pro Roller through the Kickstarter Campaign. I previously had a first generation and a second generation Vortex 22 Roller, and this is my third piece of luggage from StrongBags.com. The Helix Pro Roller is a new and unique design that works very well for my needs. The handle design is the most unique aspect of
    the bag and it took about a week to get used to how it works. I attach another bag to the Helix Pro and keeping the center of gravity low definitely makes a difference in relieving pressure off the wrist and shoulder. I like that fact that the handle is not fixed and can rotate while you are walking with it. I also like that the wheels are spaced
    wider for greater stability and look to be easier to replace when worn. The bag easily fits in every overhead compartment that I have encountered while travelling and of course easily fits under the jumpseat on the B737. I highly recommend the new Helix Pro Roller from StrongBags.com! – LM, SWA

    Just wanted to say how much I love the new Helix bag. It took a little bit to get used to how to roll it, but after that it was a dream. Slides thru the terminals so easily. I also feel like I’ll be able to sprint around masses of people for my commutes when everyone returns to flying. It’s also fun to show off my new bag to crew members who’ve never seen the bag! I’m on the Airbus and I have the side pocket, I absolutely love it. I was unsure about the single pole and tilting handle, but now that I have it, I don’t ever want to go back!
    Thanks for making such a great product!! – Jared, Alaska

    Although it took a little getting used to, the new Helix Pro bag has been amazing for me. I have suffered from tendinitis most of 2020, and the new handle design on the Helix Pro has relieved so much pressure and pain in my right elbow. The size is perfect for overhead bins and fits nicely in the cockpit with me. I couldn’t have asked for a better designed bag than the Helix Pro. I also love the custom embroidery that I put on it. I’m also a huge fan of the side pockets that are optional, and gets me extra room for those 4 day trips. Thank you StrongBags for another amazing product! – Reid M.

    Very nice well made bag. This is my 3rd Strongbag and I would definitely recommend it. Brian B.

    I can’t say enough good things about my Helix Pro! They definitely figured out how to improve many of the things traditional rolling bags had issues with, but the new handle, everyone who sees it has to ask how the handle is “facing forward”. It really has eliminated the pain you typically feel in your wrist when you’re “towing” a traditional bag, it’s a night and day difference. I love this bag, and will never use another! – RC, ATLAS Air

    The bag is solidly constructed, but not heavy. The handle is the best feature, very ergonomic, and easy to use. All of the strongbags products I have used, have held up to years of service and I expect the Helix Pro to be no different! GREAT COMPANY! – Adam A., Southwest

    After a few months of use, here is an honest review of the Helix. The size is much better than my previous Vortex 21 as this bag will fit in every overhead bin I have tried. The bag pulls very, very easily. Overall I am very pleased with the bag and it is my primary luggage that has replaced my Vortex. I would definitely buy again, however, your bags last forever so it’s doubtful that day will come. I’m sure it will be re-skinned in 4 years or so. I believe I will then opt out of the side pockets as I don’t think I have ever used them. Thanks again Ethan! You make a far superior product to your competition. – Justin H., CommutAir

    Love the Helix Pro 21″. Love the shell design and the quality of the hardware and zippers. It’s designed to be tough and long lasting, and look great too. Handle design is very clever once you get used to it. I haven’t found an efficient way to carry my brain bag on top of the Helix because of the single shaft handle design however, Overall an excellent product that should last for years.

  4. Jonathan Adkins (verified owner)

    Helix Pro 21″ – After nearly a year of use the bag has held up quite well. The rubber on the handle has detached and the pole/handle has noticeably loosened some. There is minimal fraying externally on the skin, zero issues with the zippers, and the wheels still roll freely and smooth. It fits better than the LW in an overhead bin while operating a CRJ. It has held up to the abuse of rampers and myself. It even makes a wonderful stool when no seats are available or you just want to sit for a few minutes while waiting in a line that just seems to never move.

    It is a great bag for 3 days or less in my opinion. I find it a challenge to pack for longer blocks of time away. The single pole handle is comfortable to drag the bag with, but makes it difficult to stack a bag on top because it inevitably rolls off (the duffle bag straps aren’t the most convent to use).

      Jonathan, thank you for your comments (unedited). We do have a solution for your wobbly handle and we have since fixed the rubber grip with a better adhesive at manufacturing. Contact us anytime for more info. 719-458-2458 – Ethan

    I ordered a StrongBag on Black Friday. I ordered the 21”. When it arrived, I realized it was too small. I contacted StrongBags, for an exchange, no problem👍 StrongBags lived up to its promise! I have another StrongBag, probably 10+ years. Still going strong. I just wanted the new Vortex model.
    Absolutely love their products, rock solid, and customer service a top 10!
    I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience.
