Description

The Leona Flight Suit is a premium padded travel cover designed specifically for Leona classical guitar cases. Form-fitting and fully zippered, the Flight Suit surrounds the case in a soft, plush-lined protective layer, helping shield its exterior from the bumps, scratches and wear that come with travel. A large zippered front pocket provides convenient storage for music, accessories and other essentials, while padded backpack straps make carrying your instrument considerably easier on the move. Reinforced construction, additional attachment points and Leona detailing complete a design that feels every bit as refined as the case it protects. For players who travel frequently—or simply want to keep their Leona case looking its best—the Flight Suit adds an extra layer of protection, storage and carrying convenience without sacrificing Leona's distinctive style.

From the manufacturer: The Flight Suit is made with ultra lightweight and elastic material which provides very safe protection for your guitar during flights. The Flight Suit is the ultimate solution for traveling musicians who encounter mandatory checked guitars at the airport. We believe it is currently the safest option for transporting your guitar. It is equipped with a special headstock wrap component and uses ultra-light elastic foam material (the same as used in high-end running shoes), making the total weight just 1.5kg. With the Leona case, flight suit, and the guitar, your total weight is only around 7kg. As fellow guitarists, we’ve considered every detail. The small outer pockets for sheet music, iPad, and passport are detachable, so after checking in your guitar, you can keep your personal items in this pocket and then put it back after retrieving your guitar (designed with snap buttons).

“Luthier Series Carbon FLIGHT SUIT” by Leona Cases - White
Background

From the manufacturer:

The case, named after the famous “La Leona” guitar by Antonio de Torres, is elegantly designed after a process of almost 5 years of careful development using innovative tools. Our good friend and the producer of this case, Qingchuan Li, shared with us a story that led to the creation of this beautiful product. The whole process started when Qingchuan was asked by luthier Gernot Wagner if he could make a special case for his guitars that would be an ideal fit for his instruments. Cases produced during the first year focused mostly on improving interior design to meet the requirements expressed by Gernot. At first, the exterior was created with pre-existing moulds. The first cases made by Qingchuan allowed him to finally acquire enough funds to create the ideal design he envisioned. To pursue his dreams, Qingchuan partnered up with Janis Ober, the son of Fritz Ober, a luthier from Munich. Janis studied design in Amsterdam for many years. Their design process was very similar to Mercedes-Benz car factories which they visited in Germany. Just like the designers from Mercedes-Benz, Qingchuan and Janis used clay models, forms, 3D scans and rendering for planning.
