Travelpro Platinum Elite Carry-On Rolling Garment Bag

Im sitting a taxi after having landed from the first leg of my first flight. The front zipper failed after literally the 3 or 4 times using it. And worse, I cant even re-seat the zipper. Its not even like the bag was packed - I cant even fathom how the zipper came disconnected (it started in the middle of a fully zipped bag). Its gong back the second I get back. Ive been a heavy traveler for decades. Ive had 20 dollar throw aways perform better. Incredibly disappointed.

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!

I needed this exact type of case - this is not as well made as my prior Swiss model but it is the type that allows for I to am overhead and you can fold suits into it easily

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.

Product dimensions as stated on the web site are not accurate. Actual bag is larger. Worst part? I had to pay return shipping. I wont be buying anymore Travelpro products in the future.

Overall the bag is great: quality construction, nice leather accents, sturdy telescopic handle - just aesthetically pleasing and very well made. However, there is room for improvement and some missed opportunities to make it even better than it is: 1. The inside flap should have two mesh pockets, not just one! It is inexplicable to me why Travelpro decided not to include a second one below the existing one: there is room for it and it would be extremely helpful to store additional items - why pass on this opportunity??? 2. The extension panel should have two (instead of one) buckle straps so if you want to use the panel for an extra pair of pants or a couple of t-shirts, the two straps would help keep them in place. 3. The outside pocket should have a built-in organizer for passports, pens, business cards, phone, etc. (not essential, but it would be a convenient feature). So, all in all I am happy with this bag, but a little more attention to detail and a few minor tweaks would go a long way to make it so much better.

Fits perfectly into the over head. Kept my suits in great shape for my trip

This may be my nicest piece of luggage that Ive ever purchased. Great quality and fantastic appearance! The luggage is sturdy, has plenty of pockets for storage and most importantly easily protects my nice suits. The only thing that is problematic is that the unit is too wide to roll down airplane aisles, but the luggage is light enough to make this really a nonissue. Love it!

The bag lasted 8 months and eventually the zippers broke and couldn’t maintain the constant travel.

I would agree with others that this bag is well made and has great space. I was able to pack 2 suits with suits, shoes, and casual clothes for a 4 four day trip, and that was about the limit. the problem came with trying to navigate in the airport. Because the bag rolls horizontally and because I am 6 ft, I found myself constantly hitting the bag with my heals as I walked, tripping me up. A couple of times I actually stumbled as I was trying to race from plane to plane making me nervous about the thing behind me. Either the handle needs be longer or the bag needs to roll upright which would be the better solution so it could be rolled down the aisle in the plane. Unfortunately this was a deal breaker for me and I am returning it.
