Packing for weddings and formal events can be a nightmare.

That’s because formalwear tends to be heavier, more prone to creases, and harder to steam or iron. Menswear, especially formal suits, might even need to be drycleaned before the event.
Away, one of the world’s most popular and award-winning luggage brands, has a solution for that. Meet their newly launched Softside Garment Roller. Billed by Away as a ‘wardrobe on wheels’, the luggage has been carefully designed with your most precious dresses, suits, and blazers in mind.
If you’re an avid business traveler, tend to travel for weddings a lot, or simply like to bring a wear-ready wardrobe with you when you travel, take a closer look at this suitcase’s features. While it’s a bit pricey, Away products are made with top materials and come with a limited lifetime warranty.
A closer look at the Softside Garment Roller
The Softside Garment Roller is a short (22.5 inches tall), soft side rolling suitcase that weighs just under 15 pounds. Though small, it’s a checked bag—not a carry-on. It comes with a TSA combination lock and is made of high-strength nylon with additional water-repellent coating.
There are pockets on the exterior flap, along with the interior. The main feature is that the Softside Garment Roller is designed to let you store up to eight outfits. The interior has a sleeve (called a zip-out hanging organizer panel, which has space for hangers) where you’ll arrange your formalwear, then carefully fold it into a more compact shape.
There are three additional pockets, two of which are modular and easy to move. There’s also a mesh laundry bag that comes with the suitcase. The Softside Garment Roller costs $495.
