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

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.

Good gear.

This was a replacement for a bag that got lost which we loved very much. We received this bag and immediately put it to the test. One feature I really like is that it has hanging hooks on both ends. This was accomplished by eliminating the shoe storage typical on some other bags. If you need that, then this bag isn’t for you. I wasn’t happy with the price point of this bag, although it is built very well and seems like it will last a long time and appears to be able to handle a beating from the airlines. If it lasts then it’s worth it only time will tell. The handles, wheels, fabric seem well thought out and sturdy. The zippers seem like they could be upgraded. I thought for the price point the interior should have had better materials used. Still I’d highly recommend this bag to anyone needing one of these, and I would definitely buy this brand again.

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.

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.

Zipper has already broke after a few trips!

I bought this thing a little over a month ago. We took a cruise, we drove down to the port from our house. While packing back up the last night of the cruise, I notice the stitching at one end of the zipper had completely come apart. It was not handled roughly, like it went through baggage handling at an airport. Im disappointed in the durability and quality of the garment bag, especially with the high cost of it. Weve had bags we bought years ago at 1/4 of the price last for 20 yrs and this didnt make it one trip. Hopefully their warranty is as good as they say it is. I will try to update this after dealing with the needed repairs.

Perfect

Sturdy, convenient, professional. Those were the 3 things that I looked for and this checked all of those boxes. This piece of luggage went on a 15 day business trip through Europe with me and stood up to the multiple connections and the many suits and blazers I had to pack in it. Wonderful bag, and it definitely got pushed, shoved and kicked around. 8 flights so far and little to no wear. Highly recommended

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.
