Duffel Bags

I got this bag to replace my old roller duffle which had failed at the end handle opposite the wheels (takes alot of loading when pulling bag up stairs) and at the bottom corners where the stitching would split. This bag solved both those weakness with the hard-bottom structure with integrated end handle. Despite the hard bottom, this bag is extremely light even with aluminum rolling handle and wheels. Inside bag is quite large and has a cool feature that the space in some of the outside compartments, if not filled, can be filled by the inside contents because of the way the inside dividers are designed. My only complaint with the bag is that the fabric, though strong, isn't quite rigid enough. So that when half or 3/4 full and in the rolling position, the contents will all settle to the wheels end. Overall, I am very happy with the bag. I travel frequently to Europe and, though large, this bag can be managed on trains and narrow European hotel hallways and stairways."..."  Read more

First, I absolutely love the pattern of this bag, mine looks a little more blue than the picture, and I absolutely love how it looks. The only downside to this bag is that it's kind of heavy, and with all the snow around here you can't really wheel it right now when you're outside. It has a shoulder strap as well as the handles that you see in the picture though, so it's not too bad. I think it would be a perfect bag to use while travelling, and it definitely works to just take with you when you're going home for the weekend as well. The handle for when you're wheeling the bag is just amazing. It has a button so the handle stays in place until you push it, and it also doesn't slide up until you push it which is nice if you're just using it to stand up your bag. It has straps on the inside to hold your things in place and it has lots of handy little pockets too. This bag is great, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who is in need of a bag, and who doesn't like wheels right?? :)"..."  Read more

I got the yellow color which ended up being more of a gold than the neon yellow it looks in the picture, much to my delight. The bag is extremely sturdy. I've checked it on a plane twice. The second time I somehow managed to leave the handle a wee bit up and it got back to me bent. When I found out the handle still worked and was still solid, I was very impressed. An aside: Filling it chock-full of clothes, I have had very little problem keeping it under the 50 lb. weight limit for flights. It has also accompanied me on several road trips. I've been very happy with the construction of this bag. I must mention, however, that a big problem exists with the chemical smell of this bag. I just about passed out when I first unwrapped it and spent days spraying it with everything from Febreeze to Lysol to What Odor and airing it out because I couldn't stand my clothes smelling like that. The first time I used the bag I put fabric softener sheets in with my clothes to keep them smelling normal. On the plus side, the odor didn't seem to get into my clothes at all. Weird. Haven't used the softener sheets since, except during storage, which I do with all of my luggage. Even with the above smell problem, I have to highly recommend this bag. If you can deal with the initial odor and have lots of time to air it out, this is simply a super bag. Its a great size (right near the linear inches limit for checked bags at most airlines) and very sturdy. It's now my default travel suitcase. This is my second purchase of this exact item! I would award 5 stars plus, if it wasn't for the smell."..."  Read more

I was looking for a bag that I can use for both a laptop carrier and gym bag. I did not want to lug around multiple bags - gym bag and briefcase. When I found this bag I was very excited. It holds my laptop as well as any folders I take home to work on. When it's time to work out I'm off to the gym. Very convenient and simple. This bag has done wonders for me. Highly recommend."..."  Read more
