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

Airlines destroyed my Eddie Bauer garment bag, had to find a replacement. This bag is very large, which I like and needed. Unfortunately the centerfold is rigid and protrudes which reduces the amount of usable space. I could fit twice as much in the smaller Eddie Bauer bag (its discontinued). This bag was not inexpensive but I should have gone up in price, and bought the TUMi instead, yes its twice the price but it would better suit my needs. That is the reason for my value for money rating. Dont get me wrong its a very well made product they layout is not favorable for my needs.

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

- 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.

I had to take a trip to a place where heavy clothes were needed. This rolling garment bag not only protected my clothes but was easy to manuever. Its expensive but well worth it !!

The issue with the Zipper is that it starts beyond the main body of the case and, if the case is stuffed full, it is difficult if not impossible to get the zipper started to close. The teeth bunch up and snag terribly. I was almost ready to return the case. Travelpro really should have thought about this better.

Love it

This is one huge bag. Tough and just great.

The zipper ripped on the first trip with this. For the price, youd expect better.

The garment bag was well organized and had lots of room.

Use for formal clothes for cruising!
