Greater than one weekIm 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.

> 3 dayReally disappointed. After just one trip, the plastic stand on the bottom of the bag has come loose. Now I have raw screws exposed on the bottom of the bag. Not at all the durability Id expect from TravelPro...especially not with the Platinum Elite line.

> 3 dayThe good: Perfect for suits, dress shirts, dresses, and other formal clothing. Perfect fit in overhead as a carry on item. The bad: Very awkward when rolling as compared to spinner carry ons. The zippers tend to get hung up and can be very difficult to zip open or closed near the clasp on both ends. VERY FRUSTRATING. Overall it is a very high quality piece of luggage. But you pay for the quality. The frustration with the zipper prevents me from recommending this garment bag.

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekI 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.

> 3 dayThe bag was a bit smaller than I thought but I was still able to fit 3 days worth of clothing into it.

> 3 dayI bought this one because I was in a hurry and I regret it so much! The design of this expensive garment bag is extremely flawed. They should have included 4 wheels instead of only two. They could have also changed the orientation so that the wide part is in vertical position when closed. I kept hitting people in the airport with it because of its width. All in all, I hate this bag and I will definitively get a new one with 4 wheels and a better design. Don’t risk it. Save some money and get a better garment bag.
