They wrote: "They're versatile and strong. Best of all though, they're small enough to fit in any carry-on, so even with all your best travel outfits in tow, you can still fit quite a few of them for easy unpacking.
"The clips are especially great for hanging pants, and for glampers or Airbnbs with no closet at all, they make it easy to hang garments from the included clothesline."

The hangers are far from the only handy gadgets to have caught the imagination of the online travel community, with plenty of handy products also available.
Atomiser
Packing toiletries is one of the more stressful parts of a holiday, with the liquids rule limiting the amount that can be taken as carry-on.
However, the 5ML refillable perfume atomiser means passengers can take a small amount of perfume - enough for a spritz for each night of their holiday - without the worry of losing the whole bottle.
The small capsule is easy to fill up and prevents leaks into suitcases.
Portable fan
The Jisulife handheld fan is available in four different colours and will take the edge off during hot summer days.
Its lightweight and compact size means it's easier to take out on any holiday day out, from hiking to relaxing on the beach.
Its folding technology makes it easier to store, whether it's in a handbag, draw or even a pocket.
Bluetooth transmitter
The Airfly bluetooth transmitter means plane passengers can use their own headphones with the plane's entertainment system.
They therefore can use their noise-cancelling phones, cutting out the noise of the aircraft.
