Hi, not sure if this has been discussed before - did a search and came up blank.
Saw an advert today in Conquista magazine (free cycling mag found @ http://conquista.cc/magazine/)
for this: http://henty.cc/uk/shop/wingman/
It's a commuting bag that can hold a full suit rolled up so it avoids being (too) creased. It also comes with a gym-type bag that can take shoes and other bits, plus a pocket for a laptop.
All goes together in a one strap over the shoulder way and worn like a backpack.
Sells for £110 - wanted to know if anyone had any experience with this bag or brand and could say whether it is actually as good as it looks?
Cheers

Thinking of getting one of these - wondered if anybody has had any real world experience since this post?

I've had one since April last year. They are well-made and hold a fair bit of kit.
They are a faff to get fitted though, and mine tends to slip around a fair bit when I'm riding.
It's still a pretty decent way of transporting suit etc though.

I'll be using mine for the commute from Cornwall to work most of the time as I don't use the bike so much in London, anymore.
Wondering if the compact would be too much of a compromise, size wise.Little boy to Obama: "My Dad says that you read all our emails"
