    With due respect to Zaroz (not trying to be contradictory) I have had a very different experience. The kilt hangers may be good for your closet but for traveling they are not very sturdy. I received the kilt kit for my B-Day and a week later headed to China. They were a real disappointment. The metal rods that go into the wood came out of their slots, and this was with light weight PV. As far as the bag it folds in an odd fashion ie not in 1/2 and became really cumbersome really fast. 7 Flights in 9 days and in and out of hotels it did not hold up.

    Sorry to hear about that. I'll admit I have not taken them on a plane, and am not likely to try. Various airlines have wrecked every piece of hard luggage I've ever handed them, so I would never expect wood hangers in a bag to survive!
    (plus, I don't fly any more, but that's another issue)

    I will say the hangers are good in the closet, better in my experience than the skirt clips mentioned elsewhere. And I've used the system on many car trips all over the country, a couple train trips, and a cruise, usually carrying at least 3 kilts and assorted jackets, leathers etc. without any issues.
