Do you often find yourself boarding a plane with your garment bag in-hand, on your way to an important meeting? While these suit carriers can certainly look professional, they end up lacking space, making it so that business travelers have to carry both this AND a suitcase. Luckily, even a full suit can be folded in a way so that it fits snuggly in your carry-on.

Unless you are planning a month-long trip, there’s no reason for you to bring along full-sized luggage. Not only can this be a killer on the back, it can also end up costing you a pretty penny, as many airlines charge for checked bags these days!

…or “Dopp Kit”, if you’re fancy! While these may be travel staples, it turns out that many don’t come in shapes that are optimal for packing.
