Hi there,

glad you found the kind of luggage you needed! ^

It is always good to go to a bricks and mortar store. Your selection is certainly a very good one and BR is almost without fault except for the somewhat stupid outsider handle system.

I am a sucker for a good deal so I might have gone with the Bravo combo and disregarded the warranty issue. But the BR combo is at least as good and has the warranty.

Now on the 22" roller, you might want to do some measuring when you get it. Or did you bring it home already? From what I understand and from what others have said, too, if you factor in the outsider handle system and the wheels it will not fit the sizer anymore and might get difficult in some overhead bins. If you find that to be true, you could still exchange it for the 20" model which should be ok in the sizer.

Did you bring home the tri-fold garment bag already? We (that is mostly I) want a review and would be particularly interested in your packing notes. What do you pack where and how does it fit? Do you already have a shirt folder? Measure the curtain pocket and see if the 18" eagle Creek folder will fit. It should. That would be ideal.

Please keep us in the loop about how it works out for you. I really do think the combo of a rolling briefcase and a tri-fold garment bag is a very smart solution and others stand to profit if you can tell us how it performs in your eyes.

Cheers,

Till
