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

There were no direction with the item. Not sure how to use the lock system. I like the item but need some simple info. Thanks

Great! Price was great! Large.

Fantastic expansion hanging bag that folds in half. Compartmentalization, lightweight, TSA approved Lock, 360° wheels, and much more...

Id buy one again. I was impressed with the quality and durability. Pockets inside aid in packing as it conveniently uses all available space.

Comfortably fits multiple suits for people over 63 (without folding or crumpling them!), with plenty of room for additional slacks and shirts. 50 inches long by 24 inches of usable room unzipped on the interior, almost 6 inches of usable depth. Four cubbies for belts/ties, multiple mesh zippered compartments on the flap and a water proof toiletry one. The largest zippered pouch holds 3 pairs of size 14 shoes comfortably(!), 4 pairs if you need to. Still have room leftover for socks, underwear, undershirts. If youre a big or tall person that travels even semi frequently and have longer stays, where you need to bring several suits/outfits, you absolutely need this garmet bag. I have *never* had a travel garmet bag that truly *works* in every way for me. Build quality is quite sturdy, even the travel handle is a better grade aluminum that my old Samsonite. It may be a larger dollar investment for luggage, but you will absolutely love it.

Airlines destroyed my Eddie Bauer garment bag, had to find a replacement. This bag is very large, which I like and needed. Unfortunately the centerfold is rigid and protrudes which reduces the amount of usable space. I could fit twice as much in the smaller Eddie Bauer bag (its discontinued). This bag was not inexpensive but I should have gone up in price, and bought the TUMi instead, yes its twice the price but it would better suit my needs. That is the reason for my value for money rating. Dont get me wrong its a very well made product they layout is not favorable for my needs.

Zipper broke on first trip

Loved many things about this bag….the hangers on either side double the room. The wheels are strong and sturdy. But I returned it. Most of the zippers are nylon but the outside pocket is a silver metal zipper that broke the very first time I zipped it up. The metal pins bend too easily. I believe this is a design flaw. Hopefully a future model will come out with a more sturdy zipper! It does hold a lot but a garment bag at this price point should be built better than this.

So I haven’t taken it on it’s first trip just yet, but upon first inspection and having packed it full of clothes, it seems to be very good quality. Only time will tell, but I have high hopes. It’s unique in that you get hooks for hangers at both ends, which allows for better placement of clothes and better utilizes space. I am concerned there isn’t a stabilization bar or strap that can be placed across the clothes and when folded up there is some movement.

It is a great bag but it would be better with 4 wheels
