Rothco Canvas Zipper Duffle Bag

This is a big bag. I did not realize how big it would be from the description but jeeze, its big. Either way, it fit all my stuff and held together nicely. Surprised by the quality for the price.

I purchased this item for a specific purpose, carrying the 15 x 24 drum of my GP Cocktail Drum Kit. The large size (25 x 42) works. There is room inside the duffel for a fleece sleeping bag (more like a sleeping bag liner) for cushioning and still zip the duffle bag closed easily. There is ample room in the height to carry the small hardware and bass drum pedal of the kit, cushioned by the extra length of the above cheapo sleeping bag. You could fit the whole drum kit in this duffel instead, and use a smaller duffel to carry the hardware, but I had a cushioned drum bag I used for the side drums. I also bought the Rothco Black 55 GI Utility Strap as I read other reviewers comments regarding difficulty in finding a strap for this bag. The loaded bag ended up so light that I used the strap for a different purpose altogether. The final piece of gratification was the successful use of the formula for finding the circumference of a circle I learned in high school geometry. Thank you Mr. K.

Well-made, sturdy, not skimpy in dimensions at all. High-quality fabric, zippers, and sewing. A pleasant surprise in fact. Bought as a transporter for a nice 4 x 6 Oriental rug.

I bought the largest size. Didnt take the time to lay out the measurements to get an idea of the size. Its like a body bag, and got that quip frequently lugging this around Bristol Bay this summer. The size was also pretty nice because it could comfortably fit 50 lbs worth of stuff with room to spare; though if thats about all you have to pack go one step lower Id say. The larger bag is bulky but foldable with that much stuff in it. Great durability so far, very much enjoy the zipper. Purchased as a replacement for a Duffle bag, one with the eye-hole loop clip which deteriorated rapidly over time. Has handhold straps on ends; does not have shoulder straps like a Duffle or come with a sling strap, though it does have anchor points for a clip-on shoulder sling.

Make sure that you understand the dimensions 30 x 50. Is that width and length or length and width, respectively. Also, it was not clear to me about how large the bag was as depicted on the website. The bag itself, and the Amazon process, are excellent if the capacity of the bag meets your needs.

The duffel bag that I ordered was perfect for my needs. It came in a timely manor and was perfect. I have no complaints at all. It is of a good quality construction, the color was a non-issue to me, but works great. I love the side zipper as compared to the type with the top zipper. This was a good purchase with no problems at all.

This bag is GIGANTIC. Im a big guy (61 290) and I can get in it and zip it closed with some fidgeting room to spare. I call it my Dead-Body Duffle. You can fill the bag, but be careful what you fill it with. You may end up needing help to move it.

This review is based on an old Rothco duffle I have, which is the reason I bought another! These bags are made of heavy material and over the course of several years of jamming the first one with all kinds of stuff, throwing it into car trunks, onto concrete, wooden, and asphalt floors that first bag has suffered zero rips, tears, failed seams, nor have any of the handles or d-rings failed in any way. The dual zippers have also held up and still work smoothly too. I guess the best recommendation I can give is that I bought a second one. So why did I only give it 4-stars in value? Because it does not come with a shoulder strap; had to buy one separately. If Rothco would include a shoulder strap this duffle would be perfect!

Really holds a lot. 21 x 36 can be checked in on an airline. Not too sure about the bigger one. Weighs less than a suitcase so youre less likely to end up with those baggage fees. Seems like it will last a long time.

It is hard to find a bag this large. I needed it to house a cabin tent that was backed into the original bag with a pneumatic press. This bag was more than large enough to house it. It seems to be very sturdy, I am so glad I was able to find it.
