Rothco Top Load Canvas Duffle Bag

I bought it for my son whose going to basic training. It's much bigger than I thought, but great quality for the price and he loved it. The material was thick and it was heavy duty so it was great for him.

I purchased this bag to fasten my Oxygen 'E' Tank to my power wheelchair. It seems hard to find a holder for a power chair that is reasonably priced and works for a power chair as most seem to be for manual chairs. If I strapped the tank straight on my chair, then since the frame is set more inward than the seat, it would slide out of whatever I strapped around it, and fall off with a loud clank; I needed a bag to keep it from sliding out of the strap. It is probably double the width I need and later I will sew it in half, using one half for the tank and maybe the other half for things like my Reacher and umbrella.The bag seems constructed well enough, it is heavy duty canvas, with one handle and a single strap that has metal hardware which attaches to a metal loop that goes through one of the eyelets. There is no padding on the strap, or bag, which is fine for my needs. I needed a bag where the center of gravity would be low, since I wanted to put it low on my wheelchair, however I imagine if one were standing with it on your shoulder, this means that the length of the bag would hang down low on a person. as the strap is 21" not including hardware, it would loop over your shoulder and hang beneath your armpit.It would be perfect to haul laundry to the Laundromat, or if someone wanted to soft items into it for some reason like a sleeping bag and pillow, I say that because due to the size, it could get quite heavy if not careful.

This bag is very good quality; tough canvas, sturdy strap, sturdy ferrules. Simple and inexpensive. I guess I am not completely eligible to review this bag as I have not been using it to carry things around, per se. I bought the smallest size, filled it up with about 65lbs of that red lava rock garden substrate, tied off the end, and have been using it as a sandbag to work out with. In that capacity, it does the trick. A very tough bag that I don't have to worry about tearing when I pick it up, toss it around, and drop it repeatedly. Even the smallest bag is kind of large, so if you're looking to make a sandbag, I would recommend not using sand. It's either going to be really really heavy if you fill it up, or way too floppy if you don't add enough sand, hence me using the lava rocks; they take up just the right amount of volume without being unreasonably heavy. Like I said, didn't quite use the bag for its intended purpose but I'm very happy with it anyway and will probably buy another one later so I can have two sandbags of different weight! Happy shopping and happy lifting!

Nice and strong

I live in hurricane territory, on the Gulf..From June to late October we have to be prepared to grab our stuff and evacuate. Bulky luggage is a no go. I keep 2 of these duffles packed with “go gear”, just in case. They are attractive colors, super sturdy, and well-made. Very happy!! These were a smart purchase, I imagine they will last for many years.

I purchased this bag so I could make more room in my alice/bugout bag because my BDU's (battle dress uniforms) were taking way too much space. I bought the smaller version but I must say it has plenty of room for my needs. I put into this bag 6 pairs of pants, not sure how many shirts, clean undies, wool socks, boots, and a few BDU jackets,and I still have room for a few more things. The material is heavy canvas and the stitching seems to be well done. I have zero complaints. It does exactly what I intended in to do. I am a happy camper.:) Also, shipping was fast and packaging was great. Enjoy!

We purchased one of those because my father-in-law gave us one to travel and we needed another one. It was the same brand, but the one we purchased was different size. I think we made a mistake because we either measured the one we had in a wrong way or maybe because we based our purchase on their images… which I think are a little confusing, but overall, great quality and construction.Great Bag!!

I am 5'9, and this bag is a good size. Someone smaller may not really want this particular size, and definitely not any bigger than this.I really like the style of these duffles. I have not packed this thing to the top ever, but it will easily pack a weeks worth of clothes, plus shoes and all the other things like toiletries and such. There is no zipper on this style bag of course, it is a simple sack that you align the rings and hook through it to the other end. If you want a zipper, look elsewhere. The material should last, as it is canvas.If there is one thing I feel would fail at one point, it is the handle. If this thing is ever fully packed, all that strain on the handle would be the weak spot IMO. As I don't regularly overpack, this is not much of a problem for me, but I'd point it out for those who will stuff this to the limit.Ideal for camping, trips, trekking, travel, ect. Plenty of space, but beware the size
