Mercury Tactical Gear Code Alpha Hybrid Garment Duffel Bag, Basic, Coyote Brown, One Size

Incredible bag!I have a 42L suit that I packaged into this bag (picture attached) and have room to spare for everything else I need for a business trip/interview. My suit fits with about two inches to spare at the bottom. There are two padded "bars" at the bottom of the bag that are adjustable (buckle down to hold your suit in place + form the bottom two long edges of the duffel bag). The construction is very durable. It holds two suits without wrinkles. It has plenty of room for everything else you might need on two day's business travel. It also easily fits in airline overhead compartments (carry it on without worry) - I've flown SW, Delta, and United and it fits in the overhead compartments. The big side pockets are convenient for things like keys and cell phone chargers.This is now my go to bag for travel.

Great concept, poorly executed. Loved the idea, loved the space it provided but after one trip I was over it. This bag allows you to pack a TON of stuff. The garment portion is a decent idea but having 1 hook means that the bag just folds in on itself when you hang it - which is kind of annoying. The zippers fall down, there's a little plastic clip to help secure them but I ended up using a key-ring which worked pretty well. I had very high hopes for the bag and it worked out great on the first morning but when I had to carry the bag around the airport it quickly became uncomfortable.Product improvements are needed - they should add a ridged liner in the garment area to help protect clothes better, mine came out more wrinkled than I was hoping. Improve zippers - add clip on zippers? Remove/replace strap and replace plastic with metal hardware - the strap digs into your shoulder pretty bad - either add a bottom frame & wheels - if you're keep the strap it should be changed to something quieter - the plastic on plastic is very loud.

This bag is unstoppable. I took it on the interview trail, which lasted almost 3 months (with trips back home, but I would leave for a week or two at a time).Pros:-Awesome build quality, no signs of wear after heavy use-Keeps suits wrinkle free-With 1 suit packed, the interior was roomy enough for plenty of changes of clothes, shoes, and a garment steamer-Big external pockets can hold the TSA approved clear liquid bags. Very roomy, and velcro, so I could just pull my clear bag of toiletries out at security with 0 hassle.-Overhead bin compliantCons:-Dress shirts, when packed in the suit compartment needed some steaming, but nothing major-The bag is designed to pack a suit in first, and then the bag zips up around it. While this is the only real method to make it feasible, it has two drawbacks. The first is that when you want to pack and remove your suit, you have to remove some contents of the bag. This is not a huge issue, as usually I'm traveling light to the interviews, but it is something to consider. I believe there are other much more expensive bags that allow suit removal without content removal. The second drawback is that if pulled from one end, the zippers were prone to unzip. However, this was easily remedied by a cheap pair of travel locks, bought for 7 dollars at the airport convenience store. The zippers have special holes on their main body that align, and are meant for locking together. By locking the end zippers together, the bag never came unzipped, even when I had to check it.-Plastic hardware on the strap. The part where the strap connects to the bag is plastic. The plastic parts are of a high quality plastic, and I never had to replace them or had an issue with them breaking. However, if something will need to be replaced it will ultimately be these. Also, when walking the plastic on plastic makes a bit of squeaking. Nothing that's even close to a deal breaker given the utility of this bag.

I've used this bag on three separate week-long business trips. Here's what I've found.Pros:1. Well made, durable, high quality zippers.2. Holds a ridiculous amount of stuff.3. The soft sided nature has allowed it to fit in ANY overhead, including the little tiny ones on the smaller regional jets.4. Gate agents don't even look at it twice when they're passing out gate-check tags to the wheeled-bag bunch.5. The roll-up garment section works great for keeping my dress shirts and slacks ready to go. A small touch up is all that's been required.Cons:1. No wheels. I know, I know, that's the design. Just be sure you're ready to lug a week worth of clothes all the way across ATL on your shoulder. I'm a reasonably big, reasonably strong guy, and it gets pretty uncomfortable after a while.2. The shoulder strap that comes with it is utter garbage. We're talking torture device. I ended up using a padded and bungee-suspended shoulder strap from an old Scooba computer bag, which at least keeps my skin intact, though I'm still switching shoulders every so often.3. The zippers that turn it from a garment bag to a duffel do not stay put. There appear to be clips to help accomplish this, but they're plastic and just don't seem sturdy. I suggest another solution. I used these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004Y8DQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=14. If you do need to check it, you'll worry. It offers no protection from the machinations of baggage handlers and their equipment. I had visions of my stuff coming up the baggage claim belt in a black garbage bag the one time I was forced to check it due to unforeseen circumstances (which were in no way the fault of the bag). These fears were partially validated when it came up with one of the zippers I talked about in item 3 halfway open, with a jacket spilling out of the bag it as it came up the belt.Overall, it's a great bag; well built and as advertised, but with some flaws that are probably inherent in the nature of the bag. For me, it's a matter of balancing the ability to carry it on the plane and not have to do a lot of ironing with the inability to wheel it behind me. In the end, you'll need to decide which is more important.

Definitely bigger than expected or than stated. Some reviewers say the length is not such an issue on the plane because sides are squishable, but I don't see how that is, given that the floor of the bag is rigid! Really worried about trying to bring it past the airline size controls

Very very flimsy construction. Thin material. The bag cannot hold itself open because of a lack of reinforcing seems and necessary padding. The material of this bag has the quality of a cheap product enough to survive temporarily to serve its purpose. Returning product.

Product is great. Good value for the price. However I had to return bag because it is way too long for carry on (flight) dimensions. Amazons return system and process is the best.

Tiene una ingeniería interesante y cumple con el prlpósito (que no lleves dos bultos al gym) pero al final del día los trajes y camisas se arrugan.

This product is advertised as CARRY-ON COMPLIANT. I bought this bag for traveling and guess what, it's way bigger than what's allowed for any flight I've tried to take it on so far. Useless purchase, and not eligible for return.
