I've seen some guys who have these "folding boards" of plastic or something similar they use to fold their pants in and keep them smooth even when folded in their equipment bag.

They lay the pants on this thing and then fold up the board at the hinges and it encloses the pants so they stay crisp AD flat even in the bag because when folded only the plastic is exposed.

Sorry for the vague description and terms, but I want to look into possibly adding these to my equipment stash this year.

I'm thinking of moving my pants our of my garment bag and into my equipment bag and I think these might help.

I've tried Googling but with my vagueness I come up with nothing.

Warren, ..

Sounds like something I've seen in department stores to stock the shelves neatly....yes?

I'm going to let Warren answer this ....based on what I posted (link). That said, ...will try to get pics of what the Force3 comes with for tomorrow......

Will post on the Equipment Bag thread......

No not that.

I looked at the description of the Force3 bag and it is quite possible, but there is no picture, but they refer to them as "folding bags" one for your shirts one for your pants. I'll head back to Google.

If someone has then a pic would be appreciated.

I own a Tumi folder and a flip fold. The flip fold is just as good and sits under your bag and I have 0 problems with it. It's really not that cumbersome at all.

Oh, I doubt that the Force3 has Tumi folding bags! :)

Of course those are pricey Warren! ;)

Is Tumi an uppity brand? Obviously from the OP I know nothing about these things.

So I can probably find something similar at a more reasonable price?

Is this what you are talking about?

ACS-TFE.jpg

it might be.

From officially sports website: ($17.50): https://officiallysports.com//index.cfm?id=3&page=detail

An indispensable travel accessory for every official! A convenient way to keep uniforms looking clean and crisp. Will hold two pairs of slacks (or football knickers) and 2-3 shirts and fits neatly into nearly every travel bag. Has zippered outside compartment for socks, undergarments, etc. Has Velcro enclosures for secure fit. Also perfect for business travel or vacations. You can pack your entire uniform in one Travel Sleeve and use two or three if you have games on consecutive days.

Once you use the SMITTY Travel Sleeve, you will never pack your bag again without it!

No Warren, not "uppity" , just high quality luggage goods, etc, ....well known brand, higher priced .... (I guess you could say uppity!) :)

Going to look when I get home ........these Smitty sleeves may be in the Force 3!

if you have a Container Store close by they sell the same thing and it includes a folding board. I have one that I keep my soccer jerseys in

http://www.containerstore.com/shop/travel/clothingOrganizers?productId=10000232&N=251

I assume this is what you're talking about. I did a little online chat with a sales rep and she said the medium size hold enough for a three-day trip for her. I would think two would be plenty for most tournaments.

They also have these which look good for socks and undershirts. Might have to check them out next time I'm by a store! It would be very nice to be travelling with everything in one bag...

They're also on Amazon. The Medium size (18-inch) costs $25.72 (free 2-day shipping with Prime). There are choices of colors, too.

Edit: It appears Amazon offers the same price for all three sizes. For $25.72, you can get the large size. It looks like it might be a good deal.
