Rothco Canvas Zipper Duffle Bag

This is an excellent bag for carrying extra stuff around in. I like the side zipper because you can access everything, easily opening the whole side of the bag vs. top loading duffles.The only caveat though is that the first one I received was from a seller (CH) here that is shipping counterfeit product, so I returned it via FBA (free) so I could get a genuine Rothco bag.

Heavy duty bag

From the reviews, I gathered that the 25 part of 25x42 should be taken with a grain of salt. I figured it was probably a circular end with a *circumference* of 25, making the diameter about 8, perfect for what I was seeking. However, it is instead a circle with diameter about 15. In other words, its HUGE. In what way can this dimension possibly be called 25 ??

I ordered 2 duffle bags and they arrived promptly.They are made from dense canvas fabric which is extremely sturdy. The zippers function very well. The sizes were as advertised. Currently I use them to store and transport our clubss tennis racquets and they so very well. I purchased shoulder straps to go with them as they do not come with the bag. That is an added expense which the customer should not incur, thus I did not give the bags a 5 star rating.

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.

This is a very large bag. I got the Large bag which is the middle size and it is very big. It fits quite a bit of clothes. Its not really realistic for airplane travel. However, if you are driving and need to take a lot of stuff with you this is not a bad bag to have. Its held together pretty well. The handles feel sturdy even when it is full. No problems with the zipper either.

Would be nice if it had more handles or a shoulder strap to help manage carrying it once it’s full, but I added a shoulder strap from another piece of luggage, this bag is a great price and works perfect to carry my mega SUP and gear.

Be careful when you order this, the item # 3478 by Rothco is in fact a 21 x 36 duffle. Acemart will ship you a 30 x 50 body bag with the product number of 3478. 3490 is a 30 x50 bag. I wanted the 3478 21 x 36. The price is great and the bag is great quality, but enormous!! I will keep it and store something in it..But have gone with another company and ordered the smaller size I actually wanted. Acemarts shipping label said the 30 x 50 was item number 3478. Its not...

I purchased this duffle as extra baggage (too much shopping) because it met regulation size and when full of clothing was not overweight. It traveled well and has well stitched seams. The canvas is heavy duty. Its a duffle so not easy to carry but it has a great heavy zipper and two handles for lifting. I would recommend this to anyone needing an extra bag at a low price that you can use over and over again.

Exactly as expected
