Bag Recommendations

Hey,
I'm starting to commute and I'd like to be able to carry my suit to and from work. Anyone have any recommendations? Currently I'm just shoving it into my paneer, and it's getting wrinkled.

There are plenty of bags out there, but before you make a decision you should look at how you're folding your clothes as the way you fold and store your clothes in the bag is probably more important than the bag itself when it comes to wrinkles.

Look at folding techniques online, then figure out how much space you need and how much you're willing to carry then make a decision.

I use a camera backpack, I keep my clothes in the front pocket where you normally put the camera along with two spare tubes, the laptop in the laptop space (obviously) and everything else I need like tools, deodorant etc. in the smaller pockets.

If you roll your clothes, they have less tendancy to wrinkle. If it does wrinkle a bit and have an office, you can get yourself a steamer to remove the wrinkles

I have Ortlieb panniers, which I leave on the bike. I roll my pants, jacket and shirt and put them into a Chico Bag, which is made of a slick polyester material and slides right into the pannier without having to stuff it. I put shoes, socks, undies, belt, etc in another Chico bag into the other pannier.
Once you get the rolling technique down, they come out pretty nice.
