Customer Reviews:
A good mix of cost, functionality and design. By THATCH
I travel a lot. I spent 14 weeks overseas this year, and made several trips across the US as well. I've always preferred duffels as they make it through the luggage system without being torn up. I know it seems illogical, but soft luggage seems to handle the rough treatment the best.
This bag is a bit bigger than your typical large travel duffel. When it first arrived, I made two quick conclusions:
What I thought was red was quite orange
The zipper clearly was no YKK. It rode rough.
That being said, the configuration was different than what I was used to, and I embarked on adjusting.
Upsides: There is a bottom compartment that can be used to flat long things like pants, shirts, or could be used as the 'garbage dump' for dirty clothes. Also, there are two end compartments that can be used for shoes. The only downside to these two features is that they eat into the wide open space in the center of the storage space.
Downsides: The wheels are too small for my liking. It makes a LOT of loud noise when rolling over pavement. It tends to want to flip around more than duffels with slightly larger wheels. The zipper zips rough and I feel worried that it may not hold up. The bag is just a bit longer than your average airport luggage rack. It will hang over. The price to be paid for an extra large duffel.
All said and done, the bag itself hasn't failed me or disappointed me, though if I had it to do again I would look more closely at other options. The price point and design is what snagged me. I started by rating the bag a 4, but by the time I finished the review and looked back, I changed it to a 3. That's rare for me, so take that in account that my initial thought was a 4. Maybe a 3.5 would be best .

I go back and forth to Pennsylvania attending various livestock functions and always seem to bring back a whole lot of items. Everything fits in this case easily.Stands up to TSA handing. Only complaint is that when it is left alone you need to lean it up against a rail or something.Easy to spot in baggage area. My family was impressed about how much I could stuff in there and still be under the 50 lbs limit.Really nice duffel By J. T. Smith
This is a really nice duffel bag. I has a very large bottom compartment and I particularly like the end compartments for shoes and quick access items. The front pocket is fairly large and would be perfect for power cables and such. The handle is nice with some strong velco and I really like the snaps to hold the bottom tighter and provide some compression if needed. The bottom of the top section also zips out which is nice so you can use it like a regular duffel if you desire. The handle is sturdy and the wheels roll smoothly. My only complaint is the price seems a little high, but either way I cannot find another duffel this nice anywhere local, so I will be ordering another for an upcoming trip out of the country. I do wish it had the backpack straps that some of the other High Sierra bags have, but it does not :( Overall I am very pleased.
