A heads-up for anyone trying to get to work (mostly) wrinkle free. Nashbar has a commuter garment panner on sale for $79.

I just got mine yesterday and will be trying it out this morning. My first impressions are good. Plenty of extra pockets and seems well made. It doesn't come with a rain cover, but it seems to have the "waterproof" zippers. Besides, I'll take the car on rainy mornings and I don't care if things get wet on the way home!

It's showing up as $69 for me - even better.

Anyone using this? How many shirts and pants can you effectively put in it?

Ooh, nice. A garment bag that you can drape over your rack! Here's hoping it works out well.

The garment area is pretty roomy. I would bet you could easily get 3 pairs of pants and three shirts in there...probably more.

I was hoping the side pockets would be a little bigger. I wear a size 12 shoe and I have to put one shoe in each side. But there is still plenty of room left over in each.

It's bigger than it looks in the pic. It sticks about 3 inches past the back of the rack. Doesn't bump my heals when I ride either.

Sweet! If I had a job where I had to wear a suit, I'd give this a serious look. It's showing as $69.99 for me, too, and Nashbar is offering free shipping until 8/13.
