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!

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.

Exactly as expected

I like Rothco. Some people dont. I use this bag several times a week to haul some climbing gear that has some weight to it. Havent had any issues.

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 ??

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.

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 is a durable, good quality bag. I hauled 2 scooters on an airplane in checked baggage and it held up well. No tears, rips and the zipper is awesome! Does not come with an over the shoulder strap.

I have used this bag to transport a fold-able screen that weighs about 75 pounds. It pushes the limits of the size of this bag, but it handles it like a champ. The handles are well-constructed and stitched on. I have slid it across the floor and really abused it trying to get things in and out of it, in a small amount of time. The zipper has held up well with no issues at all, and never a snag. The handles located at either end are fantastic for 2-person carrying jobs. Great bag, really worth the money,

It does what bags do. it holds things. In my case it holds studio light stands.
