5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect size, great layout!, February 25, 2004

This review is from: Travelon Hanging Toiletry Kit (Apparel)

I bought this toiletry kit for my husband because I was tired of seeing him stuffing all his toiletries on a groceries plastic bag every time we traveled somewhere. I was looking for something sturdy, easy to organize/find things. We have an upcoming 3-week trip and this kit has the perfect size. I haven't found anything this complete (with side pockets, see-through fabric, elastic holders, and hanger). I liked it so much, I'm buying one for myself, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick Travel, March 17, 2006

I travel almost on a weekly basis and this traveling kit helps a lot. I can just throw it in my bag and go. Friends and family are always commenting on how great it is (and of course hinting for me to get them one). You won't be disappointed. It's durable and not cheap. The quality is great and compares higher to some purchased offline.

4.0 out of 5 stars Road tested for three years now..., December 4, 2006

This review is from: Travelon Hanging Toiletry Kit (Apparel)

I've road tested this bag for three years now, and I must say that it's the best bag I've owned (actually, I purchased this elsewhere at a travel store, and mine is green, but it's the same style and manufacturer). With it, I've created a portable bathroom that rivals the cabinets in my own home.

This is a durable bag with lots of zippered compartments and storage. In my situation, I keep my contact lens & eye care in one compartment, my teeth cleaning in another, first aid in another, and other bulky items in the center of the bag. The two side pockets are also extremely helpful for larger items like saline solution, bottles of cologne, pens, or anything else you fancy. And, this bag also has a designated eyeglass compartment, though it is a fabric compartment, and not a hard one. I doubt anyone will be disappointed with the number of compartments.

The one thing I noticed after having the case for several years is that I grew tempted to fill this pack up to the brim (I mean, why not, it can handle it). It surely packs a lot. But, it can get rather heavy and sizable... but that's me. I like to feel like I have a portable bathroom accompanying me on trips. Certainly, you don't need to fill yours up as much as I do, but feel confident that you can fill it up if necessary.

The ONLY three flaws I've encountered was the following:

1. A simple thin metal retaining rod potruding from the side into the side pocket that eventually wore through (I simply push it back into place, however, and this item may not have that issue).

2. Inside the largest compartment in the center, there were elastic straps sewn in that are quite handy in restraining objects. Unfortunately, after about a couple of years, the elastic has stretched to the point of failure even though they are are still functional at helping separate items in the center compartment.

3. Lastly (a minor form detail), I like the fact that you can pretty much hang the bag anywhere away and off the counter and ground. However, I would have like to have included a hook for one thing. And the center of the pack does lean forward a bit away from the wall (in other words, not completely flat against the wall). It's not too much of a lean where things start falling out, but the pack could have been designed to sit flatter against any wall when hung, say, from a towel bar.

Nonetheless, I am completely satisfied with the case, and how well it can be stuffed to the hilt. Best I've ever owned, and I've owned many. Stitching is great... no tearing or loose threads. It is a soft pack with no hard shelled compartments. And, yes, when completely stuffed like mine, it can end up a bit bulky (fortunately, the closing strap is adjustable).

However, I've been around the world with this pack many many times, and will continue to do so for many many times more. A sturdy and wonderful companion for any traveller who wants an organized and spacious toiletry pack. I definitely recommend it!
