Magellan's Stow-Away Cinch Folders : Wrinkle-Free Packing Made Easy

I've always been a religious roller when it comes to packing travel clothes. Recently I tried Magellan's Stow-Away Cinch Folders, and now I have a new packing system.

While the rolling method has always seemed like a good way to maximize space in my suitcase, my clothing was often wrinkled by the time I unpacked. That meant ironing, which just delayed me in my hotel room when I wanted to head out the door.

After so many years and dozens and dozens of trips, I finally decided to try something new. I was pleasantly surprised by Magellan's Stow-Away Folders for several reasons. My clothes stayed together in a compact bundle and came out pretty wrinkle-free. I was also able to fit the same amount of clothing, if not more, in my suitcase. Finally, the folders helped me organize my apparel for easy access and repacking. For example, I often keep shirts in one folder and pants in another.

While on a recent trip to Europe, I split my time between Paris and a side trip to Switzerland. My Paris clothes stayed in one folder, tucked away into a closet while my Swiss clothes were enclosed in another folder and easy to grab and go. The folders seal securely with adjustable cinch straps and they have simple carrying handles.   

I found the Stow-Away Cinch Folders easy to use. Each one has a hard plastic board imprinted with directions about how to properly fold clothes around the boards to reduce wrinkling and to best fit within the packing folders.

Once I pack my suitcase, it's easy to fit my shoes and my cosmetics bag around them. This is a huge improvement for me, and I'm so happy I finally gave these folders a try!

Magellan's Stow-Away Cinch Folders come in two sizes and four different colors. The large folder (18½ x 13 x ¾"; 14 oz) holds eight to 12 shirts and pants. The small folder (15 x 10½ x ¾"; 11 oz) holds six to eight shirts.

Colors: Aqua, black, gray and purple.

Bottom Line: These Magellan packing folders make packing simple and efficient. My clothes stay organized and arrive at their destination with few wrinkles.--C.E.W. (Oct '10)
