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

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.

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.

Risk of oversized baggage fee! (35” model)I just tried flying with this bag while entirely full of backpacking gear and other stuff, the agent measured the total linear dimensions as 66”, and the max is 62” for the airline (domestic US). This would be a fee of $150-200 depending on the airline! They would not accept my reasoning that it contained fishing gear.Luckily I was able to remove some gear and compress it significantly with the straps so that it measured just at the limit.This is a great bag for the price, and fits a 55L framed Osprey backpack. But careful with the size requirements for checked luggage!

It seems very sturdy! I bought this for my daughter's European orchestra trip. I was told they must pull the luggage on the bumpy stone streets. Hopefully, this will survive the journey. It has no label of where it was produced. I suspect and hope it was made in China, cause all the luggage I got from China proved to be good quality.I like it not just as other duffle bags with top zipper, it is like other luggage could be opened entirely with left and right compartments. I believe this could make the packing much easier!I will review after the summer trip. First time trying the Amazon Basic, pretty happy! Highly recommended!

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.

Awesome, better than expected.

Well made! a bargain for the price!
