how do you transport uniforms?

[Jocko]

I routinely carry 2+ pairs of pants and upwards of 10 shirts to tournaments. It frustrated carrying my uniforms on hangers over my shoulder to the point I ordered this

Does anyone else use something similar?

I use a garment bag in certain conferences.

I keep them folded inside a bin. Saw this idea at a camp i attended. I hate having hangers inside my car. I keep a dryer sheet inside the been for freshness.

I use the Smitty's "Fold-Em" travel system from Ump-Attire. I use 1 for my shirts and 1 for my pants. Here is the link:

I use the Fold-Em's too and really like them.

My hangars fit in my suitcase on top of my gear.  Part of the reason I don't think Im going to like the ebags that everyone raves about.

How you fit your hangars in your suitcase is beyond me.   Aren't they way bigger than a suitcase?

I travel internationally 10-12 times per year and domestically 20-30 times per year.

After 12-16 hours in the air, 3 cab rides your clothes are perfect.

 

The New York Times asked flight attendants how they manage to pack over 40 garments in one suitcase, and it all boils down to one trick: roll your clothes to save space and avoid wrinkles.

Rolling clothes is the preferred way to pack for an upcoming trip, for many of these attendants whose work can take them away from home for several days at a time. It's also become crucial for flying cheap, as airlines ramp up their luggage fees for anyone who dares to bring anything. Here's how the professionals get it done:

To make room for these new travel necessities, many flight attendants roll their clothes rather than fold them to save space. Nerea Gomez-Cambronero, an attendant with Air Europa Líneas Aéreas in Majorca, Spain, has taught friends and relatives to roll-pack clothes. "The rolling-your-clothes tip is the basis of my entire company," said Don Chernoff, an engineer and frequent traveler, whose www.skyroll.com offers a line of luggage that encourages rolling rather than folding."It's a more efficient use of the space."

 

These are great!

No.  duh. lol

 

the suitcase looks something like this one;  http://www.ebags.com/product/delsey/helium-fusion-lite-30-29-exp-suiter-trolley/232804?productid=10186666

 

put both pair of shoes flat on the bottom against the short end.  Put the shins against the back long end.  lay the protector on the bottom and put the mask on top with the opening up.  fold the hats so they fit in the mask opening.  stuff undergarments around all these items.  lay the clothes on hangers lengthwise (the hanger is just a few inches smaller than the width of the suitcase) and fold back over them selves if needed.

 

put books and papers in the top larger area.  indicator, ball bags, belts etc in the top smaller case.

 

Easy peasy for a weekend series.

 

for weekdays when dressing at the car then just hang the hangers up in the back seat when dressing or put on top of the whole thing if in the back of the suv.  easy to get to all the stuff and you don't need to open the top half and then the bottom half as with the ebag and other similar items.

I like it

[Fittske24]

For 3 day conference weekends, I use the Texas fold'em style packing sleeves.in one sleeve I usually fit the following:

4 pairs Honig's poly-wool (2 base, 2 plate)

2 shirts

1 majestic cool base jacket

1 traditional striped jacket.

All of this fits nicely in the packing sleeve and snugly in the center section of my eBay mother lode. This allows me to walk into the locker room with only one bag. Looks a lot more professional.

[iankelleyumpire]

I simply just use a garment bag. I typically have 11 shirts and 4 pants, all into a garment bag. I can either fold it into my umpire bag (Champro Umpire Equipment Bag) or just carry it separately. Works just find. The problem with finding a good bag is the depth of the bag, and it it can handle multiple layers of clothing. Plus, if it has a quality zipper, and strong stitching so that it wont fall apart on you.

We sell these at work, The Men's Wearhouse, they do seem to work really well. They're great quality and have a decent inner-compartment. Too small for umpire gear of course, but a great bag for a short stay or anyone who has to travel with suits, etc. Glad you like yours!
