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

I definitely didn’t look at the picture close enough. Finding a full size garment bag is not easy these days. The bag arrived in a timely manner but when I took it out of the box, accidentally dropped it on my foot. It was unusually heavy and one of the “feet” on the bottom hurt my foot. Then I noticed it only had two wheels. I returned it immediately. Otherwise, it would have been a Greta bag for my purposes.

This is a well-built garment bag with nice features. The exterior construction is a durable nylon with rugged zippers. The wheels are sturdy and spin well. The telescoping rolling handle extends from a zippered pocket for concealment when not in use. The zippers to the main compartment can be secured with an integrated 4-digit combination lock. The interior has several compartments including a medium sized transparent plastic zipper pocket that’s perfect for personal products that might leak. There are hooks for hangers on both ends of the main compartment. All in all, pretty nice. Recommended.

Best garment bag as far as ability to pack items and multiple suits. Too early for durability. Price was steep so as far as worth for hefty price...time will tell But so far so good

I love most Travelpro products but this garment bag falls short in that there is no ability to hang it in the closet or on the door, which in my opinion pretty much completely negates the convenience a garment bag usually offers. Rather than having the ability to reach in and grab what you need when you need it, you have to completely unpack it upon arrival unless you dont mind constantly laying it on the bed and unzipping/rezipping it every time you need an item (aint happening). As pointed out by some, it appears this is because this bag features latches for suit hangers on both ends of the bag and thus some would end up upside down if you tried to hang it. However, how often do you really need to pack that many suits? For the vast majority of my trips two suits is enough, and thus hanging it would not have presented a problem. Even when more suits are demanded it would have been nice to have been able to remove the upside down suits and then be able to hang the bag. The fact that there is no hook to accommodate the vast majority of trips (at least for me) is quite a bit of a disappointment.

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

I was addicted to higher priced brands, but the reviews on this piece were good, so I went for it. Very sturdy and well put together. I have only used it twice, but I am impressed with the construction of this luggage.

The front zipper broke the 1st trip. I was so upset after spending 100s of dollars

Perfect

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 a top notch folding bag that has great features and seems quite durable. I have an old Skyway bag and this is better in a number of ways. The folding form is great for holding a couple of suits and a weeks worth of dress shirts. The hanger grip is a gator-tooth design that easily latches down on metal hangers once youre done loading the suitcase. All internal pockets are either made of a clear, soft (but durable) plastic or are an open-mesh design. You can always see into each pocket and dont have to guess where your belt is versus your dress socks. I suppose the plastic will be the part that somehow fails in 10 years since it will somehow age/crack. But when its brand new, its great! The exterior appears to be very durable. The handle has a soft, grippy feel which is great when youre lugging this around. The extending arm has multiple stop-clicks so you can have it long enough for a child or for a 6+ foot adult (no stooping!!!). Even though the extending arm trigger is on the top, it is inset into the handle so you can push the suitcase and dont have to worry about retracting the arm. That is a heck of an improvement over my skyway which can only be pulled because you depress the button when you try to push it in front of you and the arm retracts. The zippers are great in a couple of ways. First, the actual zipper pulls are big and appear to be quite heavy duty. In my experience, zipper pulls are the first thing to fail on a piece of luggage as it gets abused through an airport system. So you want those to be strong. Next, the zipper teeth are large/oversized. This means they unzip/zip very easily AND they are going to be really tough to destroy. The rubberized wheels are nice because they dont skip around from side to side. Theyre all the way to the edges which helps avoid any imbalance where the suitcase starts to rock from side to side. The wheels do not retract but there are feet on the bottom of the suitcase so you can set it up right and it stays in place. There is a hard plastic skid that makes going up stairs a breeze- just drag it behind you and the skid takes all the abuse. This suitcase features a built-in TSA-approved combo-lock. You can easily set the code to any 3-digit value of your choosing. It works by seizing onto the two zipper pulls and holding them in place so that the suitcase cant be opened. What would I change? The grip handle on the underside of the suitcase doesnt have finger slots big enough for the hands of a large man such as myself. It needs an extra quarter of an inch. I can squeeze my fingers in but they dont just slide in easily like they should. Maybe this will loosen up over time. Id probably buy this in another color (if its even sold that way) just because black suitcases are so hard to differentiate on the pick-up belt at the airport. My Skyway is maroon and that is still tasteful for business travel but much easier to spot when it comes down the chute. The suitcase is about an inch thicker than I expected. It is probably 2 inches thicker than my Skyway folding case. Still, it should be fine at the airport.
