17 Top Travel Garment Bags 2022 (220225travel.toptravelgarmentbags)

We’re not saying you won’t have to use the iron in your hotel room ever again (though there’s wrinkle-free clothing that can ensure that). But we are saying your formal attire will fare much better on the hanger of a travel garment bag than folded at the bottom of your carry-on luggage or duffel bag.

While you’ll sometimes receive a complimentary garment bag when purchasing formalwear, it’s typically one that’s made of thin material, which can cause it to rip and fall apart very easily. That’s why purchasing a quality garment bag is a worthy investment, especially if you regularly travel for business or events. Plus, the best garment bags do double (or triple) duty, offering space for other travel accessories.

And even if you don’t travel for work, you never know when you’ll need a garment bag (though you’ll most certainly be glad to own one when that invitation to your best friend’s wedding in Cancun arrives).

U.S. News compiled this list of the best garment bags for travel based on the recommendations of travel experts and consumers. The list includes everything from affordable garment bags to rolling styles for business trips, weekend getaways and destination weddings. Read on to learn more about the top garment bag picks from U.S. News. (Note: Prices were accurate at the time of publication; they may fluctuate due to supply chain issues.)
