I really like the concept
by Michael (3 out of 5 stars)

I really like the concept. It fits my suit, the inner bag fits my shoes and various things, my laptop (13" ultrabook) fits the sleeve and the pocket just fine... my issue is more that it gets pretty heavy when full, and since it's really designed specifically for the left shoulder, it's annoying to carry for a long walk. I travel by public transportation a lot, most of that with a good big of walking. Not being able to easily swap the bag from one shoulder to the other while it's very full and heavy makes it a bit painful. It also doesn't help that I usually wear my shoulder bag on the opposite side.

AWESOME!!!!!

This is probably the best bag I have ever bought. I have used this bag every day for the last four months. I work out early in the mornings, so I use this to haul my work clothes/suits every day. It holds my suit, shirt, shoes, belt, socks, shampoo, loofa, hair gel, Cologne, protien shaker, wallet, phones, etc... Very sturdy and built with great materials. I'm in the Army and this bag is built better than done bags I've jumped out of planes with. I rarely write reviews but this bag is the best! A lot of people ask me about my bad and I tell them I love it. 1 thing I need to disclose because it's not the bags fault. I load my clothes in the bad the night before work. I do not roll it until I'm headed out the door. Once I get to the gym, I immediately unroll it and let my clothes hang. I served in the army honor guard so I am very picky with my clothes being wrinkled. This bag does not wrinkle my clothes, but I also don't roll them up over night and attempt to keep them rolled for the minimum time possible. Also be prudent in how you pack your clothes to prevent wrinkles. I love this bag!!!

Great for travel/work commute; minimal wrinkling
by Travis Pollard (5 out of 5 stars)

I've taken this bag on two trips so far: one personal with no suit and the other to an interview with a suit. I can see this garment bag effectively replacing conventional luggage for trips on the order of 4-5 days (with no intention of lugging home a bunch of souvenirs). I'd highly recommend vacuum travel bags to compress your leisure clothes and other essentials to make sure you meet airline size specifications. The side pocket easily holds chargers, paperwork, and other items you'd like quick access to during your travel. However, fitting even an ultrabook (thin, 14" diagonal) laptop is a sorcery I haven't managed yet, I have to carry it. The one shoulder strap design is a bit taxing on whichever side it rests when packed to capacity, I think having the option of a traditional backpack design would make this bag perfect (you can modify it with some additional straps yourself, the product cannot be worn this way as is). I intend to use this bag in my daily commute to work on bike or otherwise.

As for suit travel, I was pleasantly surprised. I had only a small amount of wrinkling in the sleeves near the cuffs, which diminished overnight hanging in the hotel closet. The included hangar is durable and neatly buckles into place inside the garment bag. The stay was only for a single night so I had ample room and the shoulder issues I mentioned previously were far less severe.

The bag travels well through security as well. The first few times, I took out the cylindrical insert and the bags were scanned separately. On my most recent return trip I just left the insert in and place without complaint. I'll be doing this from now on unless explicitly requested to separate the bags. Pro tip: travel with food in the outermost pocket, else TSA will pull apart your bag to peep your granola.

Light bag that fits overhead on regional flights
by Jennifer Powell (5 out of 5 stars)
December 8, 2017

This is a great bag if you get it at a great price. As a female consultant I am traveling Su-Th. I can fit 2 pair of pants, 2-3 sweaters, 4 shirts and PJs in the suit bag portion. In the center bag I can fit 2 pair of heels, under garments and bathroom toiletries. It is light and comfortable to carry over 1 shoulder or cross body when really needing to hustle to catch connecting flight.

This also fits in the overhead bin of my regional flight on a Havilland dash 8. So no needing to check plane side, allowing for the ability to make a 30 minute connection.

Overall, this is a great bag.

AMAZING!

First of all amazing customer service. After receiving a bent hanger, I emailed customer service at night. I received and almost instant reply stating that a replacement was in the mail.

I'm 6'4" 210 pounds and wear a 44L. I used this bag for the first time. I flew from SFO to ATL and had my (Italian wool/silk fabric) suit in the bag for about 18 hours today, before I got to my hotel and was able to hang it. There was only one very small minor crease in one arm from the way I folded it. The suite was nearly perfect. I took my computer in and out at least five times and re-rolled the bag three times. It was dropped on the floor, placed in the overhead and thrown in a trunk. Anyone who says this bag doesn't work is suffering from a low IQ or wears lower quality suits. I'm sold. I did pack it for a 2 day trip which is a bit tight, some items were left out. My 17" laptop is a very tight fit. I'm just amazed how well this worked. Now I'm going to buy a Co-pilot bag for my longer trips. This Wingman will be my go to for one day trips and even my gym bag. I'm sold on Henty!

Better than I thought
by Swiftmech7 (5 out of 5 stars)

I go on trips about 4-6 times a year. All trips require me to fly. The trips would range from 4-10 days. Every trip included me wearing a suite. This bag is perfect. I was able to fit everything I needed into the bag. The issue with me was that the bag would get too big. (of course I put more stuff in the bag than recommended.) I think they recommend about 3-4 outfits. I would put about 4-5. The bag can handle the weight and size and can still easily be put in carryon. However, the messenger version doesn't really sit well on my shoulder. I would have rather purchased the backpack version. I am an active cyclist, and hiker, however, I don't find it useful during those times. I do find the tube useful during gym time. I have recommended it to many friends and they also got one. (better versions than mine) I had my bag for over three years now. No rips or loose threads. I do recommend the bag to anyone. I have the neon green version and I do sometimes wear one of my suites at the airport. The neon green doesn't look professional with my suite outfit at all. I did notice they had a copilot version which I think would look better with dress clothes. (maybe Henty can hook it up with one of them lol)

Fantastic bag for overnight trips where you need a suit the next day
by David B (4 out of 5 stars)

I picked this up for overnight trips. It's a great bag and I am able to neatly pack my gear for overnight trips. I am 6' tall and have a 48" chest. My suit jacket fits snugly into the garment bag and I haven't had any issues with wrinkling upon arrival at my destination. There are a few YouTube videos worth watching that provide tips for optimizing your packed bag. In addition to my suit, I typically also pack a set of exercise clothes, running shoes, and toiletries.

My only issue with the bag is that it is intended to be slung across your back and if you attempt to carry it to your side (under your arm), you will have difficulties and end up constantly adjusting it as you walk through the airport. Other than that, I love it. I've began using it more frequently and for greater duration's than an overnight trip. Depending upon the duration and how well you pack it, you can easily use it for a 3 day trip.

Good design - unless you have back needing TLC.
by David Hamlet (5 out of 5 stars)

Taking some getting used to - I'm moving from a backpack-style garment bag. Very happy after week one.

Update a couple of months later:

This is a bag for a young back. I'm in the SF Bay Area. I ride to BART (longer-distance rapid transit) haul my bike up and down lots of stairs and then ride to the office. This protects clothes well and stays out of my way through all this daily exertion. However, the weight of my suit and dress shoes is on one shoulder the whole time because of the messenger-bag strap. This can really torque my mid-40s back. There is a lot to like about this garment bag, but if you have a back which requires any maintenance, consider the "runner's version" made to be a backpack with a strap for each shoulder.

It was great being able to bring my suit as a carry-on
by AC (5 out of 5 stars)

It was great being able to bring my suit as a carry-on! It is perfect for a short trip where you need a suit, such as interviews, presentations, etc. I don't know if the larger sized version would still fit most carry-on dimensions but I made sure to get the size that fits most carry-on requirements because that was the sole purpose of my getting this bag, to be able to bring my suit as a carry-on and not have to worry about it getting crumpled up in a soft, completely unstructured garment bag if that wasn't a hanger for it somewhere. It kept the suit wrinkle-free. Definitely worth it if you're considering as a way to bring a suit as a carry-on.

awkward and small
by Bryan M. (3 out of 5 stars)

It holds a suit ok, but just one. If you put a second hanger in it, it gets too thick to roll properly. And the center bag doesn't hold much. It has a padded pouch for a tablet, but the bag is too curved to fit a tablet in there without damaging it.

It's a great idea, and it is well made - they even include a handy rain cover which stows in a little zippered compartment in the bag. It easily fits in the overhead bin on an airliner (even in the tiny overhead bins of commuter planes). It just doesn't turn out to that useful for more that a 1-day trip.
