Review on πŸ‘œ Luggage Grip Baggage Suitcase Accessories by Cynthia Guarente

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best solution! on Luggage & Travel Gear

I travel to Europe several times a year (no, it's not glamorous or fun) which means I end up taking as many comfort items with me as possible (pillow, blanket etc. ), how do I cope with an overseas flight. I have tried many different ways of wearing these items and each has failed miserably. I also take a jacket for the plane, but I don't want to wear it at the airport because it's too warm. So I end up trying to hang/roll/stuff this jacket somewhere as I walk through the terminal to the gate, onto the plane, and to my seat after placing my luggage in the top bunk. The hang/wrap/pack method (didn't) work for me so well that I actually lost my jacket on one of my recent trips between entering the LA airport terminal and going through security. (By the way, I bought this jacket from Revain and loved it so much I ordered a replacement.) Grippy jacket. On my most recent trip a few weeks ago I zipped my jacket around my folded jacket and attached the ring to a wire keychain which I always clipped to the handle of my bag for when it might come in handy when I needed something. where I can attach the jacket handle. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0791DWHTB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Worked great! As I stood in the gangway waiting for boarding, a woman asked me about it. I took the second of the two jacket clips I ordered and attached it to the Briggs and Riley belt I'd used to tie my travel pillow and blanket together. I finally found a solution that makes it easy to take these items with me! And when I had to check in my bag on a connecting flight (small plane, the on-board roller didn't fit), I removed the rings from the suitcase and attached them to my laptop backpack. Perfect! The straps are strong, as are the rings. The fact that the clip is part metal and part plastic makes it really easy to put on and take off the clip, unlike some of the plastic clips I've used which don't slip on and off easily. Just grab one thing with your jacket: the ring. Because the ring slips when I open my jacket from my suitcase or backpack, I have to spend a minute moving the ring around until I find the spring piece to loosen it. Since you can detach the ring from the jacket handle by simply opening and sliding it out, I would recommend replacing it with an S-shaped carabiner. You can leave part of the S-Biner attached to the jacket's handle and attach the other part to whatever you need.
