Garment bag good for commuting?
I'm thinking about buying a garment bag for my commute. Currently I ride to work two to three times a week. I take my clothes to work and leave them there and then replace them when I drive to work. I have to wear business attire and sometimes get stuck with my belt, shoes etc. at the office. Any advice?
Thanks in advance

I've been using the Nashbar garment pannier for about a year now. I love the thing. It gets my clothes to work pretty much wrinkle free, and has plenty of stuffing room/pockets for other things. The down side is that it is not waterproof (resistant...but not proof). I was just thinking yesterday though, that a large backpack rain cover may fit over it. We'll see....

I have one of these:

Comes with the raincover. Downside is it's kinda like a sail on your bike in crosswinds, and it only fits on the left side of your rack. Upside is that you can put a regular pannier on the other side, as well as use a trunk bag if you want to. Heel clearance isn't any better/worse than other panniers.
