Airports are fussy and full of hassles. And few are more headache-inducing than stepping up to the check-in counter only to realize your suitcase is a pound or two over the weight limit. With several bags in its collection, internet darling Béis addresses that problem before it starts with a clever feature that should be standard on more suitcases.

On paper, Béis bags looks like your typical trendy suitcases. They come in a ton of muted colors and two finishes (matte or glossy). They even boast approachable price tags. The Carry-On Roller clocks in at a very competitive $238, while the largest bag in its catalog, The Large Check-In Roller, costs $328.

But look closely on one of the brand’s bags, next to the TSA-approved lock, and you’ll find a weight indicator designed straight into the handle. Yep, no more stepping on and off a scale at home.
With this built-in feature, you can easily check if your bag exceeds the standard 50-pound limit set by most major airlines. Simply lift the bag by its handle. If it’s too heavy, a small light will turn red. If the light stays clear, you’re good to go and can continue packing with peace of mind (although maybe you don’t really need three pairs of sneakers).
