City breaks usually involve at least one or two outings where smart clothes are desirable. If you want to keep your clobber somewhat presentable and wrinkle free without the hassle of ironing on location, then Eagle Creek Pack-It Folders (from €20 approx) are a winner.
Coming in a variety of sizes to suit trips from weekends away to extended breaks, these handy folders come with a board and folding instructions, so your shirts, trousers, sweaters, blouses, sport coats can emerge from your bag almost as if you’d just ironed them.
With a stain and water repellent lining, your good gear should also be kept clean even in the event of wash bag spillages and the like.
The other bonus with these folders is that they act as compression bags. For example, the smallest 15-inch folder would fit, two shirts, a pair of pants, two undershirts, underwear and socks and slip into many computer bags.
Eagle Creek products are available from the Great Outdoors, Dublin and Costwold Outdoors, Belfast.
