Gear: Over-door rack keeps your garments pin-neat

Sometimes a lodging’s closet hanger space is insufficient – or nonexistent. No problem.

Just grab the Spectrum Over the Door Wardrobe Rack, a well-designed rubber-coated steel clothing rack with brackets on each end that hang over doors up to 1 5/8 inches thick.

It weighs a little more than a pound and stashes in most roll-aboard bags. The rack provides 17 inches of hanger bar cast in a wavy design so garments don’t slide around. Reinforcing diagonal bars hold the rack in place about 10 inches from the door’s surface; side bars on both ends can hold even more hangers. Vertical back bars on both sides extend about 7 inches down from the top of the door.

The rack stashes easily in a standard wheel-aboard bag. Place the rack in first, then lay out the rest of the contents between the bars. I keep an extra in my car. Works great for hang-drying garments on the back of a bathroom or closet door.

Info: Spectrum Over the Door Wardrobe Rack costs $11.99.
