Would love to be entered
Would this bag work as a “personal item” and fit under the airline seat or would it takes place of your overhead carryon suitcase?
How do you handle Tipping?
I tip a lot. I essentially tip every meal, housekeeper in the morning, turn down at night, pool side server, and then any ad hoc drinks I might get. Let me know if you want more specificity but meals are $10 low side, $20 average, I'll sometimes push it up more for the poolside server, dinner, or a great server. Housekeeping $10 each time, $20 or more for the final clean up service...and I always tip the towel people because they take good care of us. All in US currency...
So bring a lot of cash? if you’re at pool all day do you tip each time you get something or at end of day?
@@terrimccammon4594 I definitely bring a lot of cash. If you're at the pool all day, you'll be assigned a server. I just tip them well as I sign my bill at the end. I may also tip the expo bringing food out if I eat poolside. You can get pesos in their ATM as well. I've always heard that US dollars are preferred...but that could be wrong
im right handed, is this okay to open it wkth right hand?
Absolutely :). It's designed for right handers
@theocdtraveler thanks I'll order one 🥳
@nephilimslayer Let me know what you think when you get it!
can you do a wrinkle comparison on all these suit bags you have to see what are the tricks / one bag type is better or not?
I'm sorry it took me so long to reply. Ugh. That would take me packing multiple times just to conclude one thing: None of these are great with wrinkles. Many viewers have recommended using dry cleaner bags to maximize wrinkle resistance but each of these bags have issues with clothes wrinkling in my opinion. The Premium by Halfday, to me is still the best!
@@theocdtraveler I noticed in your video the leaves are put in the bag unorganized - I found two methods where they say it is important to keep them straight : ruclips.net/video/VDGWW7_O2sI/видео.html&ab_channel=sjlsharp ruclips.net/video/aZu7RnfiCgU/видео.html&ab_channel=RushWilsonLimited
@ that second video is how I pack a jacket when I put it into a suitcase. Too funny that I think I’ve watched that video before
Wrap your dirty shoes up next time.
Hard to beat landing in warm Cancun to escape the winter! Great video
It's literally 8 degrees while I sit here in Michigan...and I'm missing it! I hope you're well Mark. Happy New Year!
I was able to receive the discount and purchased this bag yesterday (1-17-25) can't wait to receive it and try it out. Thank you for the review, I was on the fence wether to pull the trigger and this purchase or not.
@@moochz thx for taking the time to comment and for using the link. Let me know what you think when the bag arrives!
Moderne gentleman duffel vs halfday premium duffel? Which one would you go for? Great videos!
@@rodrigosalas3687 It really depends on the quality and the use of your bag. The Halfday has superior fabrics, aesthetics, and zippers and I give it a slight edge. The Moderne Gentleman is great, with superior organization and engineering but their quality sometimes suffers and I see a lot more returns on MG. I’d give the slight go ahead to the Premium Halfday.
Very interested in this bag, just wondering if the RFID pocket can fit 4 passports? Thanks
@@nataliet645 I’m a family of four so that’s something I test by nature. Four will fit it’s just very tight.
Yay, that's great. Thank you.
Thank you for showing how the sofa bed looks when ready 😊. Nobody does.
Haha, I try, I try!
Thanks for the video
So helpful. 😊
@@LoriGreen923 it’s honestly the only way I book cruises… Let me know if you end up using it through my links, curious to see if they ever give me credit :-). Good luck and safe travels.
Why is the royal Cancun bad? Greetings!
It’s fine. Just worried about the new owners

I want to win this!! Need for a trip!
Do they have elevators?
Yes! Every building has two, small elevators!
Im a senior in highschool and this will be me in 8 or so months. Thanks for showing the process all the way through including the drive and how you bring the things in lol, i was always curious about that. This video helped calm my nerves a bit, thanks. -senior from tennessee
Enjoy the closing months of your senior year and don't worry about move-in it'll be smooth and you will do great. My daughter is still home for the holiday break but is looking forward to going back this weekend. My advice to you and your family: get an early move in time (like 9:30 AM or earlier). It will make it so much easier park, grab carts, etc. Best of luck to you and let me know if you have questions. Congrats on being a Sparty!
I though this was all inclusive. Are the food and alcohol drinks a separate charge?
@@ElPasoChica depends on your package. By nature it’s not an all inclusive but I always have an all in package
Thanks for the tip. I'm going to get one for my upcoming trip.
Alright, let me know what you think!
Why not design a duffel bag like the Modern Gentleman that has rollers? Why do you need to carry it ( heavy) or put it on a suitcase? Or am I missing something?
They actually do have one and they did a pretty nice job with it. Check out my review here: ruclips.net/video/7QhgUJHXCtk/видео.html
@@theocdtraveler WOW? So nice of you to respond so quickly...interestingly enough that last time I got a response so quickly the system told me that that response was generated by AI! Thank you!
@@steveshama5960 Haha - no AI here...just little old me. Thanks for watching and commenting Steve!
My family comes here every summer
Stay away from them. If you want to return the item, you have to ship back to china and it’s expensive
wow! I didn't know that!
What’s this about?
I was trying to capture video after leaving customs of the running the timeshare gauntlet but they weren't having it... :)
@ The Cancun airport is a BIG BIG Tourist Trap !!! I was suckered to a booth regarding TAXI service … and they tried to sell me tickets to a fake BULLFIGHT
What’s the code
the code is OCD !
As a girl i love my bebe set. They have lasted me a long time and i love the beautiful designs they have, not a boring plain color. And they are so easy to spot on the convayer belt. Mine have pastel color flowers and i have never seen another set with that same design anywhere. They truly stand out.
I am all about boring colors! :). But i get it...personal preference!
@theocdtraveler Well you are a guy, so.... 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha
Does the 45L Premium fit under an airline seat?
Highly doubt....you can shove it but this is designed to be a carryon and not a personal item
Underseat space is usually no bigger than 18”. The premium duffle is 22”. You could try squishing it, but that would defeat the purpose of traveling with a suit and dress shirts, keeping them as wrinkle free as possible. You may also be able to get away with it, if you don’t pack shoes in the shoe pouches and otherwise also pack light. - I haven’t tried that with this bag, but have managed to do so with other 20-23” bags that weren’t packed to the brim. - (Sorry for the “typos” and wild autocorrect, making this read crazy. It was late and I was posting quickly.)
@ exactly. I think you can get away with it but you would stand to mess up everything you’re traveling with!
I’m considering a halfday garment duffel for general use and I’m wondering if for the occasional weekend trips if the premium is worth the extra cost
I think it honestly is. I didn't love the original halfday...just no organization, no pockets. For the extra $50 I think you'll find value there. I'd go premium
@ just ordered a premium. It looks like the premium will realistically last longer as it’s made out of better materials, so the extra $50 upfront makes sense in my eyes
@ let me know how you like it. Enjoy and safe travels!
I went to a lions game and they kept telling me to sit
We're the new 12th man. The problem is you don't stand on an offensive first down when there's two 75 year olds two rows back that keep yelling "sit down, we can see and we can't stand up"
@@theocdtravelerthat’s why you need a fanbase like the chiefs where you stand all day. I went to the chiefs raiders game 2 weeks ago and I did not stand at all, only halftime.
@@HumphreyNFL whoa!
Imagine being at a football game and wanting to sit down. Then imagine you're such a child you post this on the Internet thinking you are in the right. Grow up
Imagine being on an offensive first down, standing up and looking at your phone, while two-75 year old ,multi-year season ticket fans can't see the game because you'lre literally the only 3 people out of 65k standing.
All subjective. Never been accused of wearing ugly shoes when sporting any of my Allbirds. Quite the opposite. But resonable dressy sneakers for travel might include Norda 001 or ONs in some colours. Functional style
Thanks for the comment! Agree on post parts in retrospect except....do you think ONs are "dressy" ?
Stand your lazy butt up, idiot
Not on an offensive first down. That’s not a thing
I thought this is Bange BG1908. But in other review, BG1908 didn't have strap in its main compartment. Which series is this?
Honestly I have no idea what the model # is. Just the 45L travel backpack. Try the link in the pinned comment to the bag being reviewed
Ordered two items. Thanks for the link and discount.
Thanks Brian! Are you using them, or gifting them? Let me know what you think!
I have that duffel and I am going on a cruise and want to use for dresses as my additional bag. Do you think I could check the bag in as checked bag in plane vrs carry on?
@@karenhutz3311 honestly I would carry it on. It’s too big to be a personal item but it could be your carryon. Airlines are notoriously rough and even though it’s built well I’d be nervous to have baggage handlers on it!
I’d carry on. Duffles like this aren’t built for baggage handling. You’re better off getting or using a real suitcase, to check.
I have this same exact set, but in gray. I LOVE them. I just wish the carry on also had a handle on the side so it’s easier to carry in landscape esp being short 😕
Oh my goodness - my wife has the same exact complaint. I'm 6'1 and it never bothered me...she's 5'2" and it irritates her! You are not alone!
Nice! Very informative
Thx! I hope it helped!
Just found your video and I am welling up with tears watching. I have a Fall 2025 admit and I am both dreading and looking forward to this day. I also felt your comment about UofM as we are big wolverine fans in our house too -- but my daughter is going into Education so MSU is the place for her. I fully support it -- just not on game day ;-)
Too cool! Congrats on the commit. I think we underestimate the stress and strain this places on parents and our students! It's great when it finally works its way out. I just picked up my baby girl today for Christmas break and I'm looking forward to 4 weeks with her!

it was a great place until they accused me of stealing
@@kbvw1234 oh no!!!! That has to be a story! Stealing from a table game?
@@theocdtraveler from a slot machine that someone left money in and went to a bathroom. It is a story!! they were so sure their cameras caught me. After they discovered they were wrong, they said they were sorry and offered $50 free play or a free meal. I haven't been back since cuz it has left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.
How does this compare to the max lite?
Sorry for my delay in responding. I think I like the functionality of the Maxlite better as it's shell and over all structure allow for lighter carrying weight but I think I like the Roundtrip look and style a little better. Both are excellent amzn.to/3OzoZc4

rfid pocket for passport and cards
Yes the rfid pocket is perfect for that!
2 front deep pockets and a pocket big enough for my chromebook
It really depends on the size but it could fit in the tablet pocket.
