Rothco Canvas Zipper Duffle Bag

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!

I have no complaints about the quality of these bags. I was very impressed with the material and the zipper. The bag was bigger than I expected but I never took the time to tape out the size before hand. These are thicker than the standard military duffle bag or c bag depending on your branch of service.

This appears to be heavy duty canvas, somewhere between 8 and 10 oz. It didnt have any weird smells and was folded nicely in the box. It is very large. You could fit a body in it. However, you would have to cut the body up. into pieces. I received the size smaller on the listing. I did not receive the size I ordered (25 x 42), which would have been large enough to fit a body cut in half once. If that isnt morbid enough, then you need to spend more time outdoors in the sun. I took away a star for that. I like the bag, though and so instead of contacting them, sending mine back, and getting the original ordered bag, Im just keeping it. Pros: Durable canvas, very large, long. Heavy duty zipper, handles on the end. Cons: No top carry handle or shoulder strap. You would need two people to carry the bag if it was full of stuff or else have to hold your arm way way up in the air, which would be awkward.

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.

The quality is good. Dimensions provided in the product description do not what I was expecting. For the duffle bag 36x21one always think it is 36 long and 21 in dia but the dia is merely 12. If you flaten the bag on the ground and take the measurements its 36 long and 21 wide. Failed to understand.

the small size is actually HUGE! im using it for sand bag training - even if it doesnt hold up for more than a year - its so cheap in price that for me its cost effective.

Took this bag to a recent weekend getaway and was able to pack Everyones stuff, with room to spare. Thats a lot of stuff for a family of five! Parents know how bulky it can get to pack for three young children, and this bag addressed that problem. The reinforced handles does not disappoint either. To those who commented about the strong (fabric dye) smell, heres what I suggest you do (worked for me!) - put three scented fabric softeners inside the bag, and run a short cycle in the dryer. Your bag will not shrink, mine kept its size and shape, and was all around perfect for what I need it for. Excellent buy! -AT.

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.

Very well made and sturdy duffle bag. We bought the 50x30 size bag to replace a torn tent bag. The tent is a 6-person tent with a small screened porch on the end, so its a pretty large tent. This bag holds it with plenty of room to spare. I am about to order a second 50x30 bag because my husband thinks its big enough to hold our humongous 20x10, 12-person tent. I hope hes right!

Excellent, I am very glad i purchased this, i left it in my list for future. I was surprised of the quality, every bit the canvas of a GI bag. Heavy duty
