3VGEAR Smuggler Adventure Duffel Bag, 45L - Duffel Bag for Travel, Gym and Sports, Backpack, Handle Carry, Large D-Shaped Opening, Removable Straps - 45 Liters

I have been wanting this duffel for like 2 years now and finally got one and im very happy with it! the material is very heavy duty, as are the zippers and handles. i have only used it on one trip but it still looks brand new and i dont anticipate any issues with it. i got he 45 liter and its good enough for a few days for me, maybe someone can pack it for longer.

I used this duffle bag for a 10 day trip to the Caribbean. Plenty of room for 4 pairs of shoes, bathing suits, shirts and shorts, etc for a guy for the entire trip. Shoulder Straps helped carrying through the airport allowing me to use my hands for anything else. The material is hard enough to handle the baggage claim belts, yet it is flexible and allows you to get it into a small car without taking too much room. The mesh on the top cover is ok to secure light things such as your electronic devices cables and maybe a pair of flip flops. I would like for it to have one or two inside pockets or one outside. For the price, you are getting a comparable bag to an REI or even Patagonia, just not as hard but good enough to get you through a 10 days trip and not suffer from any tears. I will keep using it.

I bought this duffle because I have a 3V sling pack that I really love (awesome backpack) I love this duffle too. Great complimentary to my Tasmania luggage. Fits right on top of the small carryon roller and secure handle over handle seems like one piece. Very well made and the way it’s made also allows me to secure it using a corded bicycle combination lock. I keep it on the bag. Allows me to take it anywhere confident of its theft deterrent. Probably as good as the Kiss bags that cost much more and have feminine appeal. I just don’t need to appeal to that side of me at this time.

I buy these for towing equipment for my job, I have several from various companies. So far the bag meets my expectations. Only one pocket inside which is the mesh pocket on the flap. Thought there would be others on the end sidewalks like the base camp bag from north face. I also bought one of these from element equipment and will probably go that route for future needs.

I work loading and loading airplanes. I have wanted to get a waterproof Patagonia or north face duffle for awhile. I will tell you this bag puts them to shame. The zippers are supper hardcore and material is durable. You can waste your time paying 2-3 times more for Patagonia and north face...but don’t. This will satisfy all your quick travel needs. I just got back from a weekend getaway with this bag. I was amazed how much room it had. Strap on back and don’t feel the weight. Worth every penny for this bag. Don’t waste your time with anything else.

We purchased this bag for my husband who is a soccer referee in Oregon where it rains. We liked that it was large enough to carry everything he needed for his games and that it was water proof. It did, however, rip next to the zipper after about 6 months of use which made it ineffective for being water proof which was a big deal as a lot of the soccer season is during the Oregon rainy season. If this bag were built a little sturdier by the zipper we might purchase this bag again as it was great while it lasted.

Just used for first time.... So far so good

I'm writing this on my first trip with my new 3V Gear Smuggler 45L duffel and I love it! I'm not a gear gal but I was able to get a lot into this bag. Here's what I was able to fit for my week-long trip:1 pair of boots1 pair of sandals (30 degree weather range for this trip, ha!)3 jackets1 raincoat1 week's worth of clothes/pajamas/etc2 toiletries bags1 curling Iron1 loaded purse (because I could only carry 1 item on the plane - the duffel)Pro tip: Lay shoes on the bottom, fold the clothes into neat stacks (on your bed first!), pack stacks into bag side by side (I had 3), tuck smaller items/toiletries around the stacked clothes. Voila! You got a week's worth of 45 to 70 degree clothes into a 45L carry on!
