The 12 Best Garment Bags of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

We brought the Nomatic Garment Bag on trips to Amsterdam, Madrid, and more throughout four months of tests, and we’re incredibly impressed with the bag’s quality. We stuffed it into packed cars, in airplane storage bins, and train overhead compartments, and it did not sustain any damage. We used this garment bag when traveling to a destination wedding and packed it with four pairs of pants, three suit jackets, four dress shirts, and even a tuxedo. It also fit our shoes and accessories thanks to its many pockets.

We’re continually impressed by the sturdy and reinforced zippers, as well as the overall craftsmanship of the bag. Even when packed full, it never feels overstuffed or difficult to carry. The over-the-shoulder strap is very padded and comfortable; plus, there is a handle for when you want to carry it by hand. For those who are heading off on a longer trip and may want to pair this with rolling luggage, there is a luggage strap that allows you to easily hang this from carry-on and checked bag handles.

We love a multi-functional garment bag that converts into a duffel bag, and this design from Mark & Graham is one of the easiest to use. When fully unzipped and laying flat, the garment bag compartment is easy to pack. We were able to fit one suit, a button down shirt, dress pants, and two dresses. We then folded the bag and zipped it into its duffel form and fit an additional belt, water bottle, pair of loafers, pair of heels, and a bag of accessories. It also has a zippered pocket on one of the outer sides of the duffel and two compartments that can be secured with buttons on the other side.

We loved that the zippers run smoothly and don’t slide open even when the bag is fully packed. The outer materials of the bag felt high-quality enough to check if necessary. The bag felt lightweight when we packed it, and the padding on the shoulder and hand straps made carrying a breeze. After our tests, the bag did not have any scratches, rips, or other signs of wear and tear.

If you’re a frequent business traveler, or simply love preserving your vacation formalwear, this rolling garment bag from Briggs & Riley is a great choice. The bag comes with plenty of special features, which initially required some time to fully understand, but we absolutely loved once we got used to them. The bags’ design is deceptively large and there are corner pouches, a shoe pouch that sits beneath your hanging clothes, and zippered pockets that provide extra room for non-hanging items. On the outside of the bag is a laptop compartment as well as a “power pocket” for a phone charger and additional tech accessories.

While you do need to fold longer dresses and pants when hanging them in the garment bag compartment, the area zips closed to keep your nicer items separate from shoes and accessories. We also love the bag’s durable outer shell that withstood all of our travels and being shoved into overhead bins. The wheels were sleek and easy to maneuver, and we found this to be a high-quality bag that would be perfect for frequent flyers.

If you’re like me and prefer to check a bag, the Travelpro Platinum Elite 50-inch Check-in Rolling Garment Bag is the one for you. While certainly large, it’s a great choice for those who may want to board with just a personal item. Like other convertible garment bags we tested, this one folds open so you can easily pack your hanging items, but as an added bonus, the hanger hook locks into place so you can be sure your clothes won’t fall or tangle up in transit.

Because of the slick wheels and adjustable handle, this bag is incredibly easy to transport over carpet, sidewalks, and other surfaces. We were able to pack this large bag with two suits, dress pants, a dress shirt, two dresses, three pairs of shoes, a water bottle, and a toiletry bag and we still had plenty of room for more. In fact, you can store up to 15 hangers in the latched compartment. After all of our tests, the bag showed no signs of wear and tear, so you can check this bag with peace of mind.

This versatile garment sleeve is perfect for anyone who’s looking for a simple garment bag to pair with their larger luggage. The outer materials are thick, but light, so they protect your items without weighing you down. We also found the bag to be quite spacious. We loved that there is a zippered pocket perfect for accessories — it was possible for us to fit a pair of flats, but they stuck out of the top of the pocket.

When fully packed, it was easy to fold and carry, but we did note that our longer clothing items were folded as well, which left creases in longer dresses. If you’re traveling by car or transporting your clothing from one hotel room to another, this bag will certainly protect your items and keep them wrinkle-free.

When it comes to convertible garment bags, Halfday’s The Garment Duffel is one of our favorites. After more than two years of regularly traveling with this bag by train, bus, on road trips, as well as using this as a carry-on and personal item, the bag still looks good as new. We’ve even gate checked it in a pinch and all of our items arrived safely and the bag suffered no rips or tears.

An upgrade from your standard hanging garment bag, this convertible duffel is easy to pack and fold up into its duffel form and fits plenty of items for a long weekend or week-long trip alike. While your clothing may need to be ironed once unpacked, we still love that the thick materials are protective and keep everything secure. The bag handles are also comfortable to carry and the shoulder padding is just enough for when you’re carrying this for long distances. Whether you’re using this duffel on its own or pairing it with rolling luggage for longer trips, we think this is a great option for frequent flyers and those who want all of their formal items to arrive at their destination safely.

This heavy duty garment bag is perfect for anyone who travels often with various formal items. There are plenty of pockets inside and outside the bag and the main garment pocket fits a suit jacket, pants, two shirts, a belt, and even dress rooms with plenty of room left over. It also features a hook where you can attach your hangers to ensure everything stays in place while traveling.

While this is a carry-on sized bag, it has so many organizational components, travelers won’t need another bag if they’re going on a quick overnight or long weekend trip. It can be carried by the handle like a brief case or using the padded shoulder strap that is comfortable to use. We also love the overall quality of the bag. The one downside is that the outer materials prioritize durability over style, so it’s not the most sleek-looking bag. Still, the durability is impressive and great for those who use their bags frequently since it is even water-repellent.

Of all the garment bags we’ve tested, this one turned heads from the very beginning. Not only is the exterior stylish thanks to the quilted fabric, it’s also a great size and easily fits a full suit along with a few extra shirts. While we do wish there was a space to hook the hangers inside the bag, it is still easy to carry as long as you grab your hangers along with the bag’s handle.

One of the features we especially loved was the quiet zipper, which wasn’t something we had even considered before noticing this sleek design. It also has a small side pocket that is perfect for small accessories like glasses, socks, or even cufflinks.

The Details: 22 x 3 x 39 inches | 1.6 pounds | Oxford and leather

At five feet long, this bag is great for transporting long dresses or suits. We love that the top of the bag features a clamp to keep your hangers secure in individual spots, so they aren’t clinking together as you walk. While we were able to fit six hangers, the bag is only designed for three, so overpack at your own risk.

We love the durable exterior fabric that shows no signs of rips or tears after our testing, although the fabric did absorb a bit of water. Still, as a personal item or even a carry-on, this is a great garment bag that will get your clothing to your destination safely with minimal wrinkles thanks to its superior length.

If you’re in a pinch and need a garment bag for an upcoming business trip or destination wedding, the Misslo garment bag is the perfect choice. While the materials aren’t as durable as others we’ve tested, the bag still survived all of our testing without a scratch. With a straightforward design, it took no effort to pack this bag. We were able to fit two dresses, a dress shirt, a pair of pants, a suit jacket, and even a belt.

After packing this bag, we noticed that there are handles on both the top and the bottom of the bag, which makes it especially easy to fold and transport. The handles are also sturdy enough to support the weight of the fully packed bag and are comfortable to carry for long periods of time. While there really aren’t any organizational features, this simple bag is a great option for travelers who want to transport their nicer clothing alone.

The Details: 21 x 2 x 21 inches | 2.9 pounds | Nylon | Up to 5 hangers

We love a bag that is compact and lightweight without sacrificing durability and the Degeler Garment Bag is the perfect combo. After our tests, the bag shows no markings or stains at all and all of the clothing items we packed remained in place with minor wrinkling.

This bag is super easy to pack and features a hanger hook with a button latch that prevents any hangers falling to the bottom of the bag while in transit. The bag also features an interior mesh pocket that zips up and is the perfect size for storing shoes. When it’s time to head out, the bag folds easily and stays secure thanks to button closures and the leather carry straps are soft and comfortable to hold. While this bag is a pricier option for a garment sleeve, we think it’s a perfect premium option for frequent travelers as it is sure to last for years to come.

The Details: 21 x 2 x 21 inches | 2.9 pounds | Polyester | Up to 6 hangers

The Monaco Garment Duffel from Dagne Dover is one of our favorite choices for organization and special features. It has plenty of pockets in addition to the garment sleeve including a 16-inch padded laptop pocket and two outside pockets. It also comes with a bonus shoe bag. We love that it unfolds like other convertible garment bags and easily folds back up with just a few snaps and zips.

When you’re running through the airport, you’ll love the padded handles, shoulder strap, and luggage sleeve that easily slips over the handle of larger luggage items. Plus, the durable recycled polyester fabric is sure to protect your items wherever you’re headed.
