Amazon Basics35-Inch Large Rolling Duffle Bag with Wheels and Handle, Travel Duffle Bag with Durable Ripstop Polyester Material, 2 Layers of Space, Multiple Interior and Exterior Pockets, Black

This 30inch is the best piece of luggage I have ever owned. Better than my other 4 rollers. Material is strong. Multiple handles. Good wheels. Solid bottom. Stands well. Doubles as a smaller luggage also with side straps to cinch the top down if you under-load it. No annoying handle strap across the top you always have to un-velcro to unzip. Both duffel top zipper and side zipper like a suitcase. Extremely well designed - clearly by frequent travelers. For that, it costs you an extra 5 pounds compared to the lightweights. And it holds a lot of clothes, so you will push the 50 pound limit. Perfect luggage if you have status with a 70 pound limit.

I bought this bag because I was looking for a bag to use to travel to Africa for my trip. I wanted a bag that weighs less than 10 lbs and can also contain the Solar lights I bought to take with me for my trip.This Amazon bag is really solid and well made. It has lots of pockets and would have worked well, if only it could contain my Solar lights box. Unfortunately, I had to return this item as it was not able to fit.The material is well made and can be protected by using the TSA locks as well.The biggest reason I returned was because it was small and could not fit my solar lights and the secondary reason was because the bag without anything inside weight 12.12 lbs. I wish they included the weight of this bag on the website as it would have disqualified this bag for me since I had a bag at home that I am going to end up using that weighed 12.5 lbs, but it fits my solar lights well and I ceased able to add other items to take with me for my trip. If you’re travel abroad, you are only allowed 50 lbs per bag and having bags that weighs less than 12 lbs or more when empty, really cheats you of the allowable luggage. Hopefully we can get these bags that are solid, but also lightweight.I like the design very much and I truly wish I could use this bag as my items would have been well price the d simply based on the way the bag is constructed.

Build quality:This bag is very well built - used it on an extended international trip and it held up well, so I anticipate this will be my go to bag for longer trips for many years!Roomy:With the The 30-inch bag I had no problem holding all of the gear I needed for a cold weather trip to the Arctic. The limitation will be staying within the luggage weight limits for airlines, rather than the volume the bag can hold! This bag also has just the right amount of pockets - enough to be able to organize a few key items, without having to deal with an excess of little, unusable pockets that just get in the way on a duffel like this! I like the fact that the end of bag with the wheels is not rigid like in many other bags. That means it's easy to fold it down so it can be easily stowed under a bed or in a tight space when it's partially unpacked.

BLUF - I returned the bag because it was heavy. It’s actually a well constructed bag so I was disappointed with how heavy it was. Add to that your gear and clothes and you could max out the weight limit. Also, it has trouble standing up on its own.

You cannot beat this bag for the money! We picked this up so my son can travel with extra skateboards when he’s on the road. Fits everything perfectly. It zips in half and has compartments in each so you do not have to dig through everything. Great and well thought out design.

I really, really wanted to love this bag. It seemed to be made for the ages, but not so in my case.I have used it twice in about six weeks, and the zipper has already failed completely on the upper main portion of the bag. It is definitely a quality control issue, since I note that a single row of stitching through the side of the bag and through the zipper itself was the only thing that actually held the zipper together, instead of the normal metal clip one usually sees at the end of a zipper to avoid this happening.Consequently, it took very little to have the zipper separate at the worst possible moment and spill out some of the contents of the bag. Even trying to realign it and do a temporary “fix” birth needle and thread did not work, since the zipper kept on separating regardless. Finally, I gave up and used some silk medical tape (given to me by a fellow passenger) to try to get the bag back, since I found that gorilla-type does not stick to the material of the bag.Also, one should be aware that this is a very heavy bag in of itself, so one has to pack pretty lightly, or else you will be over weight. The wheels were not well aligned either - at least in my case - so be prepared to fight with the bag down inclines and over irregular surface. Just a bummer, for sure - and too late to return.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I picked this one as I needed a larger duffel for a ski trip to Japan. Held my boots as well as all my winter/ski cloths including helmet and still had room for extra cloths and toiletries for a week trip. Took it on the plane as well as slogged through the Tokyo subway and worked like a champ.

As in the title of this review, the bag has the right size compartments and well thought out features. The cinch straps are great and the bottom compartment is very useful. The nylon fabric is on the thicker side and seems durable. However after one trip, the bag had no zipper pull on the "tuck" pocket at the bottom of the bag when I pulled it off the carousel. Annoying. Now that pocket is unusable. If the zippers are so fragile and keep breaking, soon the bag won't be usable, so an otherwise great value bag becomes a not so great value typical of so many others.
