Can anyone recommend a decent garment bag, the kind that will hold a couple of suits plus a few accessories? Every one I have owned has been absolute crap. The last one was the worst, I'd arrive at my destination and discover that all the hangers had slipped out of the latch and suits would be piled up in the bottom of the bag. I'm thinking of dropping some decent coin and getting a hard shell one, possibly with wheels but if I'm going to spend that kind of cash I don't want to get stuck with a lemon.

Something along these lines perhaps:

Take it from someone who travels weekly....out over 100 nights a year. But "Travel Pro ". Period. You won't regret it!

Am I the only one who is having trouble picturing EJ in a suit?

It's a banana suit.

Ok. Update.

So after some shopping around it looks like either Travelpro or Samsonite are the choice, but now I have a new conundrum! After looking at tons of hardshell rolling garment bags I have suddenly discovered something called a "suiter" which is more of a standard suitcase with an insert to hold suits. :bugout: Anyone try one of these and are they a good concept or a stupid concept? I would like to be able to fit a minimum of 2 suits plus other assorted crap and these look like a good hybrid between a traditional suitcase and a garment bag..

Maybe @David in FL has experience with these "suiters"?

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Sorry, no. I seldom need a suit, so I tend to stick with a 22" roller board that I don't have to check. I can fit a week's worth of business casual wear and not have to deal with the hassle. I know they're a top brand, but I have to say that I haven't been that impressed with the durability of samsonite soft luggage. I especially had trouble with their wheels. But again, I put a lot more miles on mine than the average guy.....

Alright thanks. I'll probably heed your advice re: Samsonite. I expect to be travelling semi-weekly, so probably average around 6-8 flights a month and I'd rather buy something once (especially since there is little to no price difference between Samsonite and TravelPro)

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Spent an hour looking at luggage. Like the TravelPros but they just don't have the right combination of carry-on size and room for minimum 2 suits. I may have to pony up for Briggs and Riley. I was just starting to get over the sticker shock of TravelPro and now I've doubled it. :bugout:

No experience with them, but I know they have a good reputation. Make sure the wheels are easily replaceable....that's the main wear point for most luggage these days. If you travel a lot, you're absolutely right to get GOOD luggage, whatever brand. You'll never regret it. :beer:

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.
