Review on Deluxe Duffel Bag With Shoulder Strap By Stansport by Kenny Outlaw

We wanted to take some camping mats with us on a trip and needed a way to minimize how much checked luggage we were using, this worked beautifully! The dimensions are exactly as listed (50x30 inch). The material is a very durable canvas that was thick enough we had no reason to believe it might tear or wear out quickly. The size was enough to hold two camping mats and the clothes/misc. goods for three people. This is within American Airlines checked baggage limit and did NOT cause any oversized baggage fees. The reason for the loss of a star is simple, the strap! The shoulder strap only goes from the top to the top 1/3 - 1/2 of the bag forcing you to hold it almost upright making it very inconvenient to carry! The design would be greatly improved if the shoulder strap went from the top to the bottom 1/3 so you could actually put it up on your back and not have to pretty much drag it along upright. If this bag weren't perfect for our needs and so sturdy and easy to wash the inconvenience alone in trying to carry it would have warranted taking off two stars. Also, a simple carabiner was effective in holding to top together so it didn't accidentally come open and leave clothes behind during transport while still allowing access if the bag needed to be checked. A good purchase but really hate the strap.
