Review on Travel In Style And Comfort With Gothamite 42-Inch Rolling Duffle Bag - The Ultimate Oversized Luggage And Hockey Bag With Heavy Duty Wheels by Josh Lockhart

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A fantastic Bag for the price

I teach martial arts at a couple of locations and need an extra large, durable bag to carry all of my gear. (Kicking pads, targets, uniform, boxing gloves, safety equipment, first aid kit, etc.)Like others have said, this bag is enormous. It easily holds everything that I need. I've had many bags over the years and this one seems quite durable. The zippers are strong and the material feels like it will hold up well. The skids on the bottom of the bag keep it from scraping the ground and protect everything placed inside. The hard plastic wheels seem strong enough to handle the weight, but don't glide as easily as inline skate type wheels. Still, the wheels seem sturdy and don't add very much weight.Because the bag of so big, I've used a automobile trunk organizer to keep all my stuff from moving around during transportation. I definitely recommend doing this if you need to keep your things well organized.My only complaint is that this bag doesn't come with a shoulder strap. There are small handles on the side and a small strap on top for lifting, but if you need to take the stairs or carry the bag over muddy ground, the wheels aren't going to be very helpful.I solved this problem by buying a shoulder strap designed to carry an electric scooter. (Cost $16.00) I'm able to Velcro the strap onto the side handles and it seems to hold for short distances, but it doesn't look very professional.Other than that, this is a great bag. -One more thing, make sure that this monster will fit in your car. Mine fits perfectly in the back of my Subaru Forester, but there isn't much room left over!UPDATE: After two months of use, the front zipper has broken off. I'm unable to get it back on and need to keep the pocket secure for equipment. It's past the return window, so I'm changing from 5 stars to one.Very disappointed.

Pros
  • Ideal for carrying team uniforms and sports equipment
Cons
  • May attract attention from thieves or airport security
