Travelpro Platinum Elite 50-Inch Rolling Garment Bag, Shadow Black

Zipper has already broke after a few trips!

This is a well-built garment bag with nice features. The exterior construction is a durable nylon with rugged zippers. The wheels are sturdy and spin well. The telescoping rolling handle extends from a zippered pocket for concealment when not in use. The zippers to the main compartment can be secured with an integrated 4-digit combination lock. The interior has several compartments including a medium sized transparent plastic zipper pocket that’s perfect for personal products that might leak. There are hooks for hangers on both ends of the main compartment. All in all, pretty nice. Recommended.

- As a long time user of a Samsonite garment style bag of checked baggage size, I needed to replace it after 10+ years of hard use, and air travel all over the world. While the Travel Pro 50 is more expensive than a Samsonite equivalent, it is a rugged and robust bag with a large capacity. I needed it right away and Amazon could deliver it faster (2 Days), than a Samsonite equivalent. The local Samsonite store did not have the style I wanted in store and order delivery from Samsonite or Amazon was too late for my impending travel. - Be sure to go onto the Travel Pro site to read about how to use the TSA approved travel lock, because the card that comes with the bag is hard to read (small print and unclear diagram). You will want to do this because you will need to put the zipper pulls into the lock, so they wont be damaged during airline baggage handling. Even if you dont set your own combination and leave it at the factory setting you need to know how the lock works.

Great garment suitcase for international travel

First and foremost, this thing is HUGE. Take however large youre imagining it to be, and go larger. I decided to try it out at a conference where I was speaking and attending meetings over a full week. I needed multiple suits, plenty of shirts, leisure clothes, and exercise clothes (including shoes). The bag held everything I needed, and had room to spare. In addition, everything arrived looking like it had just come from the dry cleaners. The downside? The bag was so heavy that I almost had to pay a surcharge. This wasnt the bags fault. Its as light as one could hope for. The problem is that it comfortably holds so much stuff that you wont realize youve packed fifty pounds worth of stuff into it - until you try to lift it off the bed. Everything about the bag shows Travelpros customary commitment to quality, durability, and practicality. Those who wear dresses and gowns might miss the fold-out panel typical in garment bags. This has been replaced with a second clasp for additional hanging clothes. The bag is deep enough that you can easily double longer garments back on themselves, but - if you typically travel only with longer garments - you may want to consider one of Travelpros other options (all of which are excellent, in my experience). The weight and size of the bag makes it a little tricky to navigate, but the wheels held up well, and the handle seemed more than strong enough for the burden I placed on it. My only gripe was with the integrated combination lock, which I found to be worthless. Beyond that, if you want a massive, extremely durable, well-organized bag for carrying a couple weeks worth of formal clothing, you cant go wrong with the Travelpro 50.

Extremely well crafted, above average sturdiness and durability. With that said if you are looking for a garment bag that embodies robust construction and class look no further. This is the garment bag for you! Now if you are looking for a bag that is of lesser quality but will get the job done with less durability there are plenty around with a lower price. The old saying goes you get what you pay for. Now is the bag perfect? No it is not. It could have a hook for hanging it vertically. And if you have a long stride and or are above average in leg length the bag might be problematic because you might kick it with your heals as you walk.

This is heavier than my old suitcase and it doesnt lie flat. There is less space across the middle -- it looks as though three suits will fit, but the arch in the middle of the suitcase rises up pretty high. Not sure if Ill be able to pack suits AND shirts into it, like I used to. It weighs about two pounds more than the old one and thats just enough to be a bit unpleasant. Ill keep it, but not happy.

This is the ultimate garment back! Purchased for cruise travel. Holds a large amount of formal wear, dresses, shoes. Awesome bag!

I just bought this luggage and noticed a warning on it that said this product can expose you to chemicals including Cadmium, which is known to the State if California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. I’m a bit concerned. The luggage looks awesome otherwise.

Id buy one again. I was impressed with the quality and durability. Pockets inside aid in packing as it conveniently uses all available space.
