Default luggage advice please

I need to buy, if such a thing exists, some luggage which will enable me to carry my work suit without it getting too creased.

any ideas?

Fold it carefully, then roll it up gently
put it in a rucksack of sufficent size so that it doesn't get crushed - my Knox is OK for this
Shirts are folded carefully & put in the tank bag, as long as it's not too full, they don't tend to get crushed

I leave a suit permanently at work

i leave the suit at work too, but this friday i have a meeting over in the west country and thinking about going on the bike, subject to the weather.

rolling things up usually does the trick - as long as they don't get squashed
put the heavy things like shoes on the bottom

Simon, is this the one you suggest?
http://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/p...nox%20Aeropack

basically i need to go from london > reading > swindon > bristol > london

at each destination i need to suit & boot. what would be a boring day by train will be replaced by the pleasure of going by bike, assuming the weather is ok.

btw, that avatar is.......something else

that looks like the one
shoes in the bottom, rest on top.
I'm assuming your suit isn't linen - that creases really easily
I usually grovel to the receptionists & get changed in the nearest loo
If you're lucky, you can often leave your gear behind their desks, or in a cupboard

Also, you might want to consider coming on our little rideout, saturday. Have a look in the south & west surfers forum for details.
