I've been using an original Eagle Creek packing folder since it was invented. I consider it indispensable to keep my dress clothes looking good on trips. I've used mine so often that the edges of the packing board crumbled. But a friend was using it and I had an unexpected trip, so I bought this new one, thinking it would be lighter and better. I was puzzled by a review that mentioned a design flaw, but I soon saw the problem. When the folder is full of clothes and expanded, the spiky side of the long velcro strip is exposed on the outside of the package, ready to snag anything it comes into contact with. I agree with the other reviewer. Eagle Creek put the velcro on backwards!

I do like the lightweight transparency of the new folder, and it works fine if you put it in your suitcase face down or don't put anything snaggable on top. I can use it. But still... it was expensive and I'm not impressed.
