Rothco Gi Style Canvas Double Strap Duffle, Olive Drab

Comment

I use this bag for carrying a change of clothes, boots, and a few tools for construction as well as taking clothes to the laundromat. Its not as wide as my old Army duffel bag (didnt get the xtra large) but makes it a bit more convenient for taking it on the bus everyday. Material seems strong and durable. Only issue I have noticed is with the adjustable buckles... they are round and the material for the straps is rather smooth so they tend to creep tighter which is awkward for you need to put on and take off the bag a few times. Best to use some tape or other hack to keep the buckles in a set position.

I am extremely happy with this purchase. Its a heavy weight canvas bag thats very well made. I use it for laundry. Ive gotten tired over how cheaply other laundry bags are made. They break and tear under the weight of a heavy load of laundry. Ive been using this for quite some time now and its held up to the wear and tear of throwing 50-60lbs of weight at a time, sometimes more. The straps are comfortable and it disperses the weight pretty evenly. This is really the best bag Ive used for laundry. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to haul a heavy load of anything for a distance on a regular basis.

I ordered one of these bags around May 2011 for my son to use at a weeklong scout camp. He was able to pack everything he needed FOR A WEEK in this bag, and the one thing he couldnt (a spare pair of shoes) he was able to hook to the bag. He used the bag a second time for a weeklong school camp out. It held up so nicely and worked so well I have since purchased one for my husband and one for my younger son to use when theyre camping. For a recent campout my husband was able to fit all of his personal gear in one bag and all of the tent gear (including sleeping bags, sleeping pads, mess kits, cold weather gear, etc) in one bag and so instead of making multiple trips to the car at the campsite they have three duffles and theyre done. The adjustable straps make it easy for just about anyone to carry and the bag has plenty of storage. We have both the black version and two green versions and they have held up equally well in hot, cold and rainy weather. VERY pleased with this purchase.

First things first: this bag is HUGE. You can carry several loads of laundry in it or quite a bit of gear. Ive used it to carry all my martial arts stuff (sticks, gloves, gi, change of clothes, etc.) and have only filled it halfway through. I also used it to go car camping and managed to put pretty much everything in it, including tent and sleeping bag. Its quite durable as well and easy to carry. The only reason Im not giving it a full five stars is because theres no way to properly close it. It only has a clip to bind the canvas. Maybe this is normal in GI style bags, but it would have been nice to have a more secure way to close it. Otherwise its a great bag.

I studied all the details back and forth regarding this product before purchasing. Two buyers had also mentioned in previous reviews of this product here at Amazon that measurements were not as written, specifically. I decided to take a chance and found they were right. Bag is described here at Amazon as being 11 inches wide by 38 inches in length. In truth, based on my purchase, measurements are approx. 22 inches wide by 38-40 inches in length. This bag is larger than I had wanted. I do like this bag as it appears to be durable, strong for camping trips etc however I will not use it to carry groceries as I had wanted. This makes a great laundry bag if one has to walk to the laundromat. I will not be sending this bag back for this one reason only.
