A Bag of Disappointment
I purchased this bag for a 6-night conference trip I'd be taking. I'd need space enough for around 8-10 outfits and had hoped that this bag and it's design would help eliminate some of the wrinkling that'd I'd experienced with other products.
As far as space is concerned, it does fine. There several inner compartments and two very handy outer pockets. It's easy to see where one could pack for one or two nights with this and have a good experience.
I, on the other hand, did not.
First off, I was able to use the wheels only between my first cab and the airline counter where I checked my bag. When I picked up my bag at the destination, one of the wheels had been destroyed. I'm not saying that this was the manufacture's fault alone - as we know how airlines can mishandle luggage - but a well-designed bag should be able to withstand that abuse, IMO. This left me with a VERY uncomfortable experience as I lugged this thing from counter to tram to rental car to hotel room and back again.
Secondly, everything inside came out wrinkled. The garment bag design did nothing to prevent this. Again, this was perhaps not the exclusive fault of the manufacturer, as I'd packed quite a lot, but for a bag that I purchased for something so specific to fail in every way on the first day of use...well, for that I may as well have eaten the $50.
