Travelpro Platinum Elite Carry-On Rolling Garment Bag

This is the same kind of bag I see the airline pilots and flight attendants using. It is very well built and yet it is fairly lightweight. It should last me many years. the wheels roll well, and the trifold design allows you to have a couple of suits/dress clothes on hangers that you can easily just lift out and hang up.

I have never owned such a nice case. I have a great suitcase I’ve used for probably 10 years that has held up through all sorts of strain, weather, and cobblestones, and I really don’t think anything is ever going to beat that case, but I’m hoping this one will come close. First, it’s a full-size bag. Because its short I was thinking it was smaller, but it’s just sideways long instead of tall. It rolls with the weight close to the ground, making it easy to pull, easy to rest. The wheels are slick and effortless. The inside is super lovely. Compartments for everything! If you are going to a wedding or event, you would reduce stress by packing your clothes in this bag. The only thing I don’t particularly care for are the zippers and the layout of the zippers. So, you have to unzip it part way, then unfold it, then get the zippers around the corners to unzip the rest of the way, and that’s where it is a bit stiff and annoying. The zippers themselves seem high quality but they also run stiff, I hope this loosens up as I use them. Oh, and the handle hides away! It’s great. It expands and contracts so… smoothly. It’s beautiful.

I travel on business, and I check a bag because I need my suits to arrive looking good, not crammed in a carry-on. The stress is always the lost bag arriving the day after a meeting... this carry on garmet bag is fantastic. It isnt soft - its stiff, so it wont get crushed in the bin. It rolls, easy to go through the airport. It has side slots/compartments to stick things in while working at the gate, like your laptop. Smooth, sturdy, high quality. If needed to be checked, it can withstand that beating too. It looks great, the garment bag -- my suit arrives for that next day meeting in perfect shape, and I can travel with just this carry on for one day. Outstanding, great investment.

When I travel, its usually for work and that means suits or jackets and pants. I have a carryon with a small suiter but it can only carry a couple of shirts or maybe one jacket. This bag is extremely well designed and very well made. The zippers are curved for easy gripping and they are good quality as well zipping and unzipping easily. I use it domestically and have not had any trouble carrying it on but I think the requirement for international, at least with some vendors is 19, so it may not work on international flights. Its not a spinner and I appreciate that as some spinners have tiny wheels that roll poorly on carpets and stairs. This has two big wheels and I prefer that much more. I usually buy Tumi but Im finding TravelPro to be about as hearty and now more detail oriented. Highly recommend this bag.

For a bag of this price and “supposed” quality, the zippers should be better. After only 1 trip I am concerned that because they decided to go cheap instead of using the famous Japanese YKK brand that I wonder if this bag will make it 10 trips. Especially the outside pocket zippers seem to be a concern. While I am posting this is there anyone that owned one of these that can tell me that adding something - - beeswax? – WD-40? – ANYTHING? will help improve these? I traded in a 10 year old Patagonia bag for this bag and am hoping that this one will make it through 2 years!

It is great!

Its ok. I would buy a bigger version for bag check if they would just make one with spindle wheels instead of the dragger type that are crappy.

Was too small for suits. Also zippers we’re very stiff. Returned it without ever using it

One of the gifts I gave my son when he began interviewing after graduate school. He liked it a lot.

The bags shell is fine but the zipper is worst. Its really frustrating to open or close the bag. You almost to use all your strength to close the bag.
