Alpha 3 Extended Trip 4 Wheel Garment Bag - Dress or Suit Bag for Men and Women - Black

Best piece of luggage!

This bag fits a lot and keeps clothes looking good. I did not have to iron my tux after 9 hours of flying. It’s light weight and easy to travel with. It’s soft sided so it get beat up easily.

I purchased this luggage in order to transport leather jackets, etc., for traveling for work in DC for an extended stay. I didn't want the jackets and other clothing to arrive wrinkled and, for the leather, maybe ruined. I carried shoes, under clothing, socks, beauty products, a heart monitor, folders and files, laptop cables and other cords, etc, and etc. It all fit, and it all arrived great. I didn't have to iron a single piece of clothing. When I arrived back home, and after I wiped the dust off my new suitcase, it emerged looking brand new. I heard a man tell his wife when I pulled this case off the conveyer belt, "now that's good luggage." It is heavy. After it was packed with all my things the case weighed 48 lbs, just under the heavy luggage charge, but that might be because I had so much hang-up clothing in it., about 15 hangers. Interestingly, when I took it off the conveyer belt in DC the case was wobbly and I could barely roll it -- it wanted to veer off in different directions. But it didn't do that on the trip home. I concluded that it matters how you pack the zip up portion inside the garment bag. I'd put some books in that section making it too heavy on the outside portion of the bag. I packed differently on the return flight and, voila, the bag rolled perfectly. I love it and glad I purchased it. I'm now considering buying a Tumi carryon.

The product is as described. But, the seller overcharged the import charges by abot $700, and has not issued the refund as Amazon described. I talked to Amazon twice and it has been over a month, but I have not received the refund yet despite the assurance twice from Amazon.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: The Tumi Extended Trip 4 Wheeled Garment Bag is otherwise highly functional and durable, but the zipper design—especially around the triangular section—makes opening and closing a frustrating challenge. This persistent zipper difficulty pretty much negates the bag’s many virtues, as it compromises ease of use and convenience. Despite its quality construction, this flaw significantly impacts the overall user experience. I would not have bought this bag had I known this before.
