> 24 hourI occasionally have to travel with a suit or two which necessitates a garment bag. Unfortunately, a garment bag is pretty useless for anything *except* carrying a few hanging items of clothing. I was excited about this idea--a duffel bag that can can change into a garment bag in much the same way that a Transformer can change into a truck. Theres nothing fundamentally wrong with the material used for this item. It feels substantial and high quality and would likely keep the contents dry. Im also sure that it would keep the contents wrinkle free. Thats the good news. Now the bad news. The conversion process from duffel bag to garment bag and back again isnt nearly as smooth as it should be. This is made even worse by some seriously sketchy zippers. My wife was trying to get it changed over first, but she had a ton of trouble with the zippers. I figured Id be able to take care of the situation but when I tried it I also had trouble with the zippers. All I could think about was being in an airport terminal trying to configure this bag only to have the zippers stick or break. One of our favorite luggage items is a cheap laundry bag that we bought at a national big box chain. Its a laundry bag, but it closes tightly and has handles on it. It packs in your suitcase like any other laundry bag. You can put dirty clothes in it while youre traveling and when youre ready to go home you can check it separately. Its simple, but it is such a great travel hack. It makes things much easier. If youve picked up some new clothes or other items, youll have room in your suitcase for them with the dirty clothes safely inside the laundry bag turned duffel bag. This bag doesnt have the same functional simplicity. We eventually decided that wed be better off just getting an upgraded garment bag and if we needed a duffel bag for some reason wed just get one at our destination. The idea definitely has promise, but it needs some refinement before its ready for prime time.

> 24 hourSo i did trial run to see how packing clothes, shoes, toiletries etc in this bag would go. And yes it is definitely, most certainly a must buy. Im just now getting into traveling and one thing i see everyone complain or mention is the price of carryon and check in or not wanting to bring too many bags. I am so glad for this. I was able to pack all the outfits that I needed along with 3 different pairs of shoes, toiletries and make up in this bag with no room to spare. Absolutely love it.

> 24 hourI am so glad I discovered these types of bags! I dont know what I was doing before, but this bag is every thing you need and ALL you need to really travel. I was able to pack over 15 outfits in the large wardrobe part. Close it up, and then fit about 10 more outfits inside. I used the side compartment for personals, and got 2 pairs of shoes in the shoe compartment. Very big, sturdy, well made, and packs a punch!

> 24 hourBought this for my young adult child for traveling. They loved all the pockets and roominess of the bag. My child stated that they will be using this bag on a regular basis for all their packing and travel needs.

> 24 hourI used this bag to carry a full length wool coat for a recent trip and it packed beautifully. I’ve carried it onto multiple flights so far as my carry on item and it does fit underneath the seat. Love the concept and super roomy!

> 24 hourThis bag is perfect for a weekend trip. It allows you to carry suites, shoes and some needed items… it will get heavy so consider how you’ll be traveling. I carried mine in an airport and it was a little uncomfortable so I’d like to think that this would be perfect with a rolled carryon since it has the ability to slid on to the handle.

> 24 hourI got this bag for my wife to use on a four day trip to a family wedding. She wound up being unable to fit everything she wanted in it, so I used it. (I honestly find the design of the bag to be fairly neutral, but ymmv.) This bag has some clever features, but also some frustrating quirks. Photos are from immediately following our return. Size wise, I found the bag to fit well in overhead bins (we flew in both large 737s and a smaller regional jets). That means however that interior space in the bag is very limited. I was able to fit my 3 piece suit (including tie and braces), shoes, one pair of jeans, t-shirts, sleep wear, underclothes and toiletries for three days. This absolutely maxed out the bag, making it fairly difficult to zip closed. Use every trick and technique to save space: Pack your socks in your shoes, use compressive packing cubes, tightly roll everything that can be. Once the garment compartment has something in it and shoes are in their spot, the space left is smaller than it appears since the bag tapers to the top zipper. The zippered pockets on the inside sides of the bag are only useful for things that are flat and flexible. The outside pockets are not the easiest to access when the bag is stuffed, and also only accommodate flat or small items. Also, use a durable hangar for your suit or other garments. Because the hook is so close to the top zipper, when fully packed the bag is going to want to flex right there and puts a fair amount of pressure on it. You can see the bump in the center of the bag from the hangar hook in my first picture. One bit I did find particularly clever is the key clip on the end pocket: It makes it easy to securely stash key rings without a bulky carabiner. One thing I found annoying however, is that while the end zippers clip together, the top zipper has no similar clasp or clip to keep the bag closed. It would continually start to unzip, until I discovered I could clip the shoulder strap attachment through it (second to last picture). Another criticism is the handle: They get quite uncomfortable when there is any decent weight in it. I didnt weigh it, but Id guess I had approximately 20-25 lbs worth of clothes and personal effects packed for my trip. The narrow-ish handles made it uncomfortable to carry for very long. They are also sewn rather sloppily. I dont think theyre in danger of falling apart, but they appear to be fraying (last photo). The shoulder strap is okay: The pad is nice and reasonably wide, but the strap itself gets twisted easily, causing pressure points. It appears to be made of soft cotton webbing with no reinforcement. For a traveling bag, it really should be made from a more sturdy material like seat belt strapping. Overall, once you get past the learning curve of packing this bag it does a pretty good job. My suit came through the trip with minimal wrinkles and nothing broke.

> 24 hourI’ve been searching for an overnight bag to pack hanging clothes for work trips. I liked the look, and enjoyed that I could pack items along with hanging clothes in one spot. I also love the pockets, especially the pouch for shoes. This almost worked, but I’m returning it for a few reasons. First, I need a wheeled option - this bag gets heavy and bulky. Even though it has a trolley sleeve, I wanted to use this instead of a suitcase, not in addition to. Also, to access your hanging clothes you have to remove all contents of the bag, so it’s not practical to grab something on the go.

> 24 hourI loved this quilted look of the bag! It holds up to about 5 days of clothes (from my personal guessing) it could be more but I was able to pack 2 pairs of pants 5 leggings 7 shirts 3 biker shorts, 4 bras and 7 pairs of undies in it and still a bit of space for maybe a makeup bag or a pair of shoes. Great space and it comes with a long strap to go hands free apart from the hand held two straps. Good bag
