I stumbled across these on my search for best ways to carry smart clothers into work crease-free when commuting by bike:

http://www.eaglecreek.com/packing_solutions/packin...

Does anyone here use them?

Do they work?

I've been lucky that my regular job is fairly casual, but I've been seconded to work elsewhere for a few days a week and am expected to wear suit/shirt/tie (totally alien to me...). Planning to leave suit/shoes/towel/etc at work and just take a shirt and clean keks in each day in a rucsac. Trying to avoid using the car at all costs, not even once a week to transport gear if I can help it.

Any other suggestions for carrying shirts easily would be much appreciated.

Two years I've been using one, its been fine, the only issue you will have is if you don't iron properly and follow the folding intructions, the thing works perfectly.

Had one for the last 7 years or so - use it for carrying shirts to work and on holiday. One of the best items of luggage I've ever bought.

Cheers folks, I'll try and get one ordered tonight.

I'm going with the smallest version as at 38x25cm it's pretty big for fitting in my commuting bag as is. Hopefully it's big enough for my "L" sized shirts.

I'm a lazy bast so get my shirts cleaned and pressed by the dry cleaners near my house. It used to be 5 for £6 but has now gone up to 5 for £7frown

Anyway, each one comes back wrapped in a plastic bag. I only have a 30/40 minute commute so just roll 2 or 3 at a time round the hangers they come on and they're fine when I get in. This is in a small 20L rucksack that the hangers only just fit in.
