Review on 65L Travel Duffel Bag: Foldable Weekender With Shoes Compartment, Water-Proof & Tear Resistant - Canway by Robert Carter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well designed. Concerned about durability

Just bought this and have used it for road travel.The good:The shape is unusual for a duffelbag: it has a lot of pockets, and the product description goes through them pretty well. But the size plus the versatility in compartmentalizing storage is exactly what I needed.The size is quite large.Straps for carrying are effective. Could use a little more padding on the shoulder strap.The bad:The zippers tend to get caught and seem cheaply made. Both require me to constantly be careful about using every zipper.The connective material between the canvas and the zippers seem flimsy. The consequences of that is it requires me to be constantly vigilant that I'm taking care to distribute weight well when I carry or drag the bag around. It also means that when the zipper gets caught, you have to be very careful about freeing it. I've been able to avoid any tears thus far.The durability concerns and extremely thin canvas material of the sides leads me to believe you should not take this on a flight unless you can stow it in the cabin. I would not trust it to the rough handling of checking this with luggage.All that said, this bag has proven its mettle for me with heavy packing once or twice. If you can afford to not be too rough with it, it'll serve you well in my opinion.

Pros
  • Made with high-quality, tear-resistant materials
Cons
  • The bag may not be suitable for day trips

I ordered three of these bags all the same size but different colors. The first bag I ordered arrived and I loved it so much I ordered two more. The second two were a bit smaller than the first. The held a lot of clothing though. We were able to pack for two weeks worth. We also ordered the biggest size to carry extra blankets and it worked great. Would buy again
