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,

Uh-oh... So the model I got is actually the 21" (U421X), measuring it here I get ~23-1/2" from wheels to handle. I saw this post and thought I'd be ok:

Now I'm worried. I'll dig and see if anyone has had problems with the 421x. Have you heard of any?

As for the tri-fold: I should get that in a day or 2 (there wasn't one available in the store), so I didn't leave with it. As soon as I get it, I'll update you.

thanks
