Sierra Designs Tov jacket. Just try wetting the The Green Garmento Bag. Just how many bags does a gal need? In this case, four. The Green Garmento is a 4-in-1 reuseable hanging garment bag that converts to a laundry bag or a duffle bag or a tote bag. Made from recyclable material, The Green Garmento is water-resistant and roomy enough to hold a load of laundry or dry cleaning (10 – 14 garments total). It has a carrying strap, and also features a full-length side zipper, allowing for easy access to hanging garments. $10-13; thegreengarmento.com
