- This is my new favorite minimalist travel bag for 2019. The Modoker Convertable Garment Bag.
(*note: I'm not being paid to advertise this bag. It is simply the bag I travel with. Modoker is welcome to pay me though)

This company just got an amazing promo video out of this
This... is an ad. btw.
@@jacesaces15 - It was very well done and looks as good as an ad indeed. They should pay him now if it helped them in any way get sales.
It's probably his own company
their youtube channel took his video and used it. im not sure if it was with his permission or not tho
@Trandybeats Oh it for sure is an ad. Just because he says he's not promoting or advertising the product does NOT mean he's not getting paid to make a video about it. haha, it's a specific (and somewhat deceptive) type of advertising but it works pretty well.
They should pay you for this. The quality and content was superb. Hands down.
Thanks!!
Yes! It was. So professionally put together.
They probably did.
@@AntiqueStory Yeah, they definitely didn't pay me. They should backpay now that it's gone viral though. I didnt even get the bag for free.
@@BenAlagna I wish you can teach me to shoot like you, my videos look very boring... is it the equipment, the style of shooting, what is the most important thing? Regarding your video since its going viral now, just contact them and request money, there is no shame in it !
Don't trust him, no one packs their phone.
And I dare him to pull the phone... from that pocket while on the move....
I had a confused face when I saw him pack his phone....
Too many part..... It more like for marketing. I would not travel with that bag.
Packs phone, but doesn’t pack toiletries. 🤔
Haha maybe its an extra phone with another charger. Lol
This bag looks perfect, way better than most annoying suitcases. The good side of it as well is that you end up packing less, and pack essential things. As a girl, I had the habit of overpacking clothes when I don't even use most of them in a traditional suitcase so this bag is perfect to stop this madness. Thanks for these quality videos. You deserve way more subscribers.
You're welcome! Glad the video helped!
Are you sure they're not paying you?? Cause they should.
The real question is.... Is it small enough for spirit airlines
Hahaha, the real question.
In that case... Is it cockroach proof?
Answer is YES - My Hook and Albert duffle is of a similar size and I have no problems bringing it on their aircraft
@@cclayhammer my condolences for the horrific things you had to experience
how did you fit your shoes in the side when you packed the entire bag?
They just sit in the compartment between or atop my clothes.
@@BenAlagna without crushing or wrinkling them?
@@Jakeu1701 I guess they can be, but I'm careful and haven't had any issues.
Nice bag to pack my cat...
Nice room for my girlfriend
So... You don't pack any toiletries?
Pavlen Georgiev I guess he purchases them or use the toiletries from the hotels like the toothbrush and the shampoo?? I think ??
Or he forgot?
Exactly what I was thinking
If it was me, I would use the shoe compartment bit as toiletries space for convenient access during scanning.
... that's what I call minimalism ... natural oils ...
Don't know how many people will see this. But this bag is on sale for $28 rn on Amazon. Just bought mine.
it's $43.99 right now :(
@anne nielsen amazon is online haha
How was it then?
what is the bag coad number
I love this bag! I bought 2 cheaper versions before I decided on the Modoker, and this one was the advertisement I saw first. the other two weren't even much cheaper, I was just being ridiculous... this is the best of the 3 garment duffle conversion brands I've tried by FAR
Do your suits get wrinkled in this bag?
I own this bag and can confirm it's pretty awesome.
Oh. MY. God. ITS PERFECT WTF. My ideal bag would be one where you dont need to unpack anything at all, you can open it and its like a pop out drawer with multiple compartments
Loved the video quality. However, as frequent traveler I have a few problems with the bag. Removing the laptop for security looks like a huge hassle. There should be a specific pocket for that with easy access. The way it is packed, you need to remove the shirts before accessing the laptop. Second, although the feature of a deconstructed bag looks really cool, it’s actually awful por packing. You don’t have a good ideia how much you can fit inside and you can’t squeeze your clothes like you would in a normal bag to fit more clothes.
well you don't have to store the laptop under the clothes? Looks like it's just his way of packing. It could go on top. plus, judging from the video, i think we can get a good idea of how much can fit in there. or we can zip the bag up before packing it.
I liked this comment because it was at 68 and now it is 69 thank you for coming to my ted talk
What? just put the laptop on top of the clothing, and if that doesn't work bring your personal backpack to carry your laptop...
you did notice the zipper on top of the bag, right? you don't have to unzip the entire bag to get the contents inside. my only worry is security. you might have to put a lot of locks, especially if you're traveling to "unsafe" locations.
Just unzip one side? Easy access to every thing
I am a flight attendant. And as a guy who travels a lot, I am in love!
Samsonite Boston Duffle was the same as this but way more expensive. It was discontinued years ago though, so this is the better weekender!
My husband and I both have this bag - we just used it for a week long trip for a family wedding. It was perfect for our formal clothes and everything else we'd wear/ need! It also fits picking cubes well.

Did your suits wrinkle?
"Minimizing" by buying more stuff. Also putting the laptop between your clothes is really great for when you are in the TSA line. So only really possible with pre-check.
I like the simple clean look and the versatility of it. Thanks for the packing tips on how to use it. And I have to said it again but I don’t know why you don’t have more subscribers. Wishing you the best this year.
it's definetly looks like an advert, but i don't mind. this bag is mind blowing, even though I don't like grey colour. It'really functional.
I wish there was a backpack version of this bag. It's perfect...except it's a shoulder bag and I can never use shoulder bags due to a back injury.
I was thinking the same :(
Modoker makes a backpack bag also. Just type in the search block on youtube...Modoker backpack.
there are a number of these clone bags, this one is the same but includes backpack straps www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07V862T8N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You can try Amazon product-- Pathside Convertible Garment Bag with Shoulder Strap Carry on Garment Duffel Bag Multi-Layer Convertible Travel Bag Shoulder Luggage Bags Handbag for Men Women
amzn.to/2oCmg9p
Use two shoulder straps, Ta-da back pack.
Unfortunately, there are some less than favorable reviews on Amazon for this bag and others like it. Whereas the concept of the bag is top notch, the materials that it's made from is not. There's some complaints of various components on the bag breaking, namely the zippers.
But youtubers who didn't get paid anything said that this is perfect bag and they used it just as long as they filmed their videos and next video they use other bags...
The quality of your videos always impresses me.
That was so satisfying to watch -love packing videos
That's a pretty nice bag! They should put a couple of shoulder straps on the bottom...and then it could be carried as a backpack too 😁

Glad I found this thank you YT algorithm, loved it, bought it. :)
I want a bag that I can wear like literally into a shirt or shorts hahaha! Dang, love this bag though
i think i miss traveling so much that i started watching videos about bags , apparently this Bag would be so good for travelling i wish i could tell my family about it
Saw this video of yours years ago. Finally got my Modoker yesterday.
Thanks Ben. Hope you're doing well.
imagine how much stuff you could fit in there with the KonMari way of folding
I’ve been looking for a versatile weekender bag to add to my minimalist lifestyle. I may have to check this one out! Thank you for sharing! You’re video quality it amazing also! Keep it up!
Thanks Ronald!!
i just bought a hershel bag which has a pathetic amount of pockets. 1 inside mesh pocket and one shoe compartment. It cost about $100 and although it looks nice the lack of functionalioty is sickening. After seeing this video I immediatley returned the hershel bag and bought this one.
I'm guessing this is how women feel when they're reading 50 Shades of Grey because the ergonomic and sleek design of that bag made me react in ways I didn't know a bag could make me feel. I was constantly being impressed over and over again in such a satisfying manner.
Hahaha
This is only okay because it’s pretty inexpensive. But I think it doesn’t really have that much more value proposition than a plain old duffel bag. The way you’d pack those clothes flat will still work with a duffel bag.
Also I can’t say for certain but if you wrap your suit around the outer perimeter of your pack, means when u set the pack down in your transit, all the weight is resting smack in the middle your suit?? On top of that, the duffel walls are folded up beyond 90 degrees which means that the top and bottom 1/3 of the suit are (beyond ) vertical and unsupported. It’s like using your pants like a sling. I don’t buy that that doesn’t crease your suit.
Dam you really sold me on this bag vs Kemy's. Love your style in creating this video!!
Thanks!
your videos give me Matt D'avella vibes. I like it :)
I purchased this item because of your detailed review thank you I’m very happy with the product and I even got it in the darker gray color love the price point and even got a 3.00 off coupon for purchasing it I enjoy a minimal travel and this item provides that again thank you I’m very very happy with it, looking for your next amazing video that will help minimize and provide comfort with travels.
Do you use this as a carry on?
Dammit..this is just the bag im looking for.. Thanks for the link. Appreciate it very much.
this channel is so underrated
The only advantage to this bag is the suit feature. Otherwise a normal duffel bag will do 🤷🏻♂️
Agree. The suit feature is only thing of this bag to praise for.
Y'all obviously have never packed for a family or someone who's paranoid about forgetting things. Plus a shoe compartment so dirt doesn't get everywhere? Means you don't have to put your shoes in a separate bag! Plus having it lie flat would stop some of us from having to repeatedly take things out to see what's in it.
@@DuBoisInternational Just put the shoes inside a plastic bag 😅
Love it. Very organized. Minimalist too. But I have the Herschel novel but don’t fully open up flat like that I packed it the same. Very interesting 👍❤️🇨🇦
The bag looks like a good alternative to the traditional carry-on. I would like to see a comparison to the $440 non-leather Hook and Albert Weekender bag.
I've been looking for a new bag.The quality of this video made me want to buy this bag, and I got it today. Thanks Ben. The bag is really nice to for the price.
If it was me who was going on a trip, I wouldn't pack my phone, but omg I want that bag. I really love your videos! They're so calm and professional! Have a nice one!
The phone pocket is accessible from the top so it's always super easy to access. Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video!
@@BenAlagna, I am actually buying it right now!
I watched this and then bought it. Going to use it this weekend on my trip to Vienna. At only $45 I hope it does well!
What was your experience?
@@mikaelekstrom9553 it worked excellent! Austrian Air didnt complain about the size nor the weight. It felt light carring it through the airport and the material held up nicely with no marks on it.
As nice as it is, I'm just worried about the points of failure, specifically the side zippers and the suitcase handle. Granted, it's a matter of taking care of the bag and not over stuffing it, but I don't trust myself to do that.
I like how clean this video is made and most importantly, it’s not sponsored (but still open, cos, why not?)
This guy is a Matt D'Avella and Hueguh hybrid. Sweet.
Hi Ben, thanks for sharing this travel bag! I randomly found ur video a few days ago and went to buy it immediately(Btw, I am quite surprised that modoker is actually a Chinese brand which focuses more on foreign market). Now I have owned it for half a month and have taken it to three trips (two for business, the lengths are between 3 to 5 days). So as a women user, here are my tiny thoughts in addition to yours on this product: 1. For the storage space for suits, I found it is not very reliable to fit the entire piece of my blazer in. As my blazers are more casual and not in sets, there is no need to put them in protectors. Without using the two little clippers, I choose to hang and fold my blazer in the middle before I put them in(it actually works for reducing the wrinkles). 2. For the biggest inner part, I recommend using extra storage bags to separate the space(eg. clean, laundry, and small waterproofed ones for towel and toiletries). 3. According to size and weight part, I'd say this bag contains more than my 20 inches carry-on suitcase, I remember it said 40L on its ads? I always carry a loooot things with me(including normal clothes, more than 20 kind of mini toiletries, foldable kettle, set of pj, gym wear, hair drying cap, mini hair dryer and mini Bluetooth voice box) and there's even extra space after I put all these inside. The onnnnnnnly thing is, with all my stuff in, this bag is way too heavy for me to hold for a long time(which is really annoying) and it is a bit too big to match my outfit (I am not petite btw). A piece of extra information, you can defo carry this bag onto the plane. Also, the brand told me they have a smaller version for women with no place to put suits in, I guess it works for some girls as well. So these are my reviews, hope any of these might helps. xoxo
Wow! I'm buying it. Great Job.
I like. But id rather have a sling, messanger or backpack like this made. Im not into travel duffel bags. But it looks awesome.
This is the most satisfying video ever. Well done.
Thank you Ben. This is something I will be looking into. Next month is my.
Son n laws birthday.
Awsome ideah.
Beautiful and no nonsense presentation, was looking for something like this. Thank you
You made me want to buy something I didn't think I needed.
Though the extra space is nice, duffel style bags are awkward to carry and are put too much pressure on one spot of your shoulder. Slings, backpacks, and rollers are the best styles of travel bags I've found, and I've tried them all.
Bought this on a whim for an upcoming trip and this review is awesome and comforting!
Love this bag I bought it and omg will continue to travel more with it it’s my preferred go to bag for traveling it has helped me to minimize what I carry and fits under the seat instead of over head and that’s a tremendous plus for short people like me great quality and design effective just just the essentials easy to carry strap allowed me to travel the the city of NY comfortably especially while taking mass transit love this bag and I got the dark gray one amazing that they have a different color like black and gray and dark gray ty for the video and the introduction to this bag !
They have this new thing called punctuation, which really helps people make sense of what you've written. Ironically the one bit of punctuation you do include - the final exclamation mark - is the least useful in this regard.
Awesome. Thanks for the review. I saw some online for $99 and I saw your video and it’s the same bag for half the price
Perfect video, even better than commercial it self! Thanks a lot. Bought!
This video is
AESTETHIC
Wow. The quality of your video is great! The company should pay you for this video, honestly.
And your review is really enjoyable to watch. I’m subscribing after watching this, great info and not too long either. Thanks. I’m buying the bag too. Lol
Whoa production values are world class. You should be directing dior commercials.
How does the shoe compartment work? Like if the bag is full and you put your shoes in, where do they go 🤔
narnia
They get pushed over
The shoes are in a bag-like compartment and sit atop the clothes inside.
@@BenAlagna So how full can you actually pack the bag and still have room for shoes?
@@teologen approximately completely full minus two times a shoe's volume.
First time doing a comment in a video, truly quality content! Cuz of my work I travel every week , looking forward to see more content. Simple and what people need to see , not more. Congrats from Montreal, Canada!
🇹🇷
Got this for Christmas and it’s going to come very handy for short trips/weekend getaways! I love it.
3:13 since I don’t use nothing but one pair of shoes it means more storage for me🤑
amazing bag , my virgo senses are tingling
i dont realize how you shoes can enter into the bag when it looks full of clothes lmao, good video bro
When folding up you could tell there was still headspace. between the clothing and the top of the bag.
If you filled it more it wouldn't though.
Zwordsman Yes but look again. The angle the shoes went in means something had to have been displaced. Shoes, in particular men's shoes will take up half the length of the bag so I am imagining that the shoes need to go at an angle (heels down and toes to the handle). In the end it is is a fantastic idea. You just have to play around with what and how you pack your things to get the best use out of it.
After seeing this I bought one and you know what? It works for me. No kidding. No more backpacks or gym bags for me.,
Wow! I can use that. For now, I use my daily business bag where I can take the file folder out and use it as a weekend bag. There are hidden straps that I can use as a backpack.
I don't even travel and I watched this until the end - the video was just perfectly done! Keep it up!
Just bought this bag after tons of research. Even more happy with my decision after finding this video. Best bag on the market, hands down. @Ben Alagna, I sent a link of this video to their customer service. If they don't use it, they're nuts.
I agree, John! That's what inspired me to make the video (although people think I was paid to make a commercial lol) Glad to hear you like it to! Thanks for watching!
Love how the video was shot but with how you put your shoes in the compartment, your dress shirt will have wrinkles or it will be all bunched up when you open the bag.
This bag is a game changer
This product maker should definitely pay you for this. Thanks for suggesting this bag, I'm definitely getting one for my husband.
You just don’t know how to pack that’s your problem
Looks especially good for a low cost airline carry on. However, female traveling with make up and toiletries etc, is there room? If so, where?
Yeah there is a lot of room, but with it being a weekender bag or duffle bag, its usually best for trips no longer than a few days.
와우~ 정말 멋진 가방인데요~ 저도 하나 갖고 싶네요~
정리도 너무 잘하시네요~
Hi Ben, great video the aesthetic very pleasing to watch. I was wondering how do you lock your bags with so many zippers? It seems such a hassle
Thanks! Each zipper has a built-in lock. All the zippers don’t really bother me but I don’t zip and unzip the whole bag all the time.
@@BenAlagna what kind of lock?
I was searching functional & minimalist bag when I luckily stumbled on ur video & almost buy this because your vid 😄 but haven't because of security
PS: found similar bag with backpack function name Ozuko, thought maybe you wanna check it out
MchSton Yeah, I understand your security concerns. I’ll check that bag out. Thanks!
This is some fancy looking gym bag.
It's too cool. Don't check it in - the bag would get stolen. Carry on !! ALWAYS.
Excellent quality - great work on this video!
This should just be an ad for this bag
This is ad for this bag.
Oops ..😀👌 most amazing bag I ever seen ! Too good 👍👍🙌🏼
How does the pair of shoes fit into a full bag????? Not so sure this isn't a promo!!!
Dee - they fit depending on what you pack. They fit between the items but are separated by the “bag-like” compartment.
This would be my absolute ideal bag if it had two straps for a more back pack like fit
Hi, dear. You can buy this bag on our official website：www.modoker.com/, which can be delivered all over the world. Our products are guaranteed for one year.
The quality of this is phenomenal! Great job!
Thanks!
How can you make such a great video?? Incredible video producing skills you have man!
This bag is so low key that I thought it was a jacket (just maybe I might check it out. Along with some of your hacks)
Weight is one of my concern, especially one needs to carry it from one airplane to another one. Can you let me know what is the total weight of the packed bag?
Ive had this idea when i was 10 but i didnt know how keep it all together cuz the travel bags we had were hard and space consuming i love this bag
Your bento bag is so nice, Ben! Mine is from Nomad Lane.
