This is really impressive. Bookmarking the manufacturer's site for near-future reference. Thanks!

Got the wheeled version arriving today from The Men's Wearhouse. Apart from the obvious -- the kilts -- I'm thinking about some of these for "core storage" during transport:

Bought one for my trip to the Hawaii games works great. Packed my kilt, jacket, sporran, belts , hose and other stuff. I got mine at Men's Wearhouse for $99.00 but they have buy one get one free deals all the time... So I have 2 of them.

Security no problem except one, which I had not thought about before choosing it to take---my brown day sporran has one of those nail closures and only once in the four times I had to go through security (yes four times, two each way as I had to change airlines both ways at Heathrow) one security guy wanted to make sure it was not any kind of weapon.

Otherwise it cleared through the xray machines without needing to be opened at all. Remember no kilt pins or sgians in carry on or YMMV.

Thanks for the update, that is what I was hoping to hear.

I've got another interesting solution that tickles my fancy right now - I rolled my kilt and slid it into my lady's stocking as described elswhere, and then . . . it fit absolutely perfectly into the case for a camera tripod! Protection and a carrying strap! What else can you ask for!

For those considering a Skyroll purchase the time is right right now as Menswearhouse is having a buy one get one free sale through I believe the 5th of September, including free shipping. Regular Skyroll is $129 for two and the rolling Skyroll is $249 for two. Sale link is here:

Enjoy.

I Almost ordered one a couple of weeks ago. For once procrastination worked in my favor. Thanks for the alert.

My wife and I each got one the last time around. They were promptly shipped and delivered. We will put them to use on our trip to Scotland next year!

Not really a bump, but the Mens Wearhouse is again having a holiday sale Buy One Get One Free, which is a great deal for anyone interested in the Skyroll original or wheeled versions. Although the prices have gone up since last year, the regular Skyroll is $129 for two, and the rolling Skyroll is $249 for two, with free shipping I believe. Or you can just walk into your local store and pick them up, as you will pay taxes if they have a store in your state anyway.

I just used my rolling Skyroll for a business trip a couple weeks ago and it worked great---nary a wrinkle in my shirts, tie, pants, or jacket. And plenty of room for all my other stuff, including dress shoes (I wore comfortable shoes for the flights). It even has a shallow upper easily accessible zippered compartment to hold small items, perfect for your little baggie of liquids and gels you need to remove to get through security. I have not tested the capacity of my wheeled Skyroll with kilt gear yet, but travelled 9 days in Scotland 15 months ago for a golfing trip and carried three tanks in the garment bag portion of my regular Skyroll as carry on, and the garment bag part of the rolling Skyroll is even bigger and seems to likely be able to hold even more if necessary. 50%+ bigger main compartment too.

Merry Xmas.
