Reddit reviews Mercury Tactical Gear Code Alpha Hybrid Garment Duffel Bag, Basic, Black, One Size

What is it with trying to find some kind of "innovative" solution to problems that don't exist? I fly with a sport coat pretty often without having to resort to origami. Wear the jacket. Board the plane. Put bag in overhead. You now have three options:

1. Short flights (2-3 hours or less): remove jacket, place on lap.
   
   
2. Long flights: ask attendant to hang jacket
   
   
3. If #2 isn't going to happen, fold jacket in half (lengthwise), place on top of bag in overhead
   
   Or just use a proper bag for travel. Quit trying to shove your stuff into hiking backpacks and whatnot (unless you want your business attire to look like you just lifted it from a nearby thrift shop). They make "roll up" style carry-ons that will keep your jackets and everything else wrinkle-free. I use a duffel-style one like this but there are a million other options.
   
   edit: I would recommend avoiding the roll-aboard stuff. I have never had a good experience with those bags. The wheels get caught on stuff in the bins, handles malfunction, etc. Just carry your bag.

I have been using the Code Alpha hybrid garment/duffle bag for that exact use case, and it has held up well over 10+ flights. My one caveat is that the shoulder strap is quite thin. I substituted it for a better strap from an old bag I no longer use.

I use a hybrid garment/duffle bag as my carryon: https://www.amazon.com/Code-Alpha-Hybrid-Garment-Duffel/dp/B00UIDXFMO/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1536519525&sr=8-9&keywords=duffle+garment+bag

Keeps a suit and a few shirts in good condition and has room for plenty of other stuff. You might have to check it in a tiny puddle-jumper, but I've flown maybe two dozen times with this bag with no problems.
