USGI IndustriesTactical Military Deployment Sport Luggage Duffel Bag | Perfect for Camping, Hiking, Traveling, Stealth, Survival

I remember when I was issued one of the old school end load only GI Duffle bag when I went through basic. I thought, "why the !#$% don't they just put a zipper down the side of these things"! Well, 26 years later, they finally did. Now, 8 years after that, I finally got one. Brand new, Military issue National Stock Number under the zipper flap. Heavy duty YKK zipper, with double zipper pulls. (Lockable with a small TSA type combo lock.) And, the large lockable ring that passes through the zipper flap. Four compression straps, two side carrying handles, carry handles on each end, adjustable backpack straps arranged 90 degrees offset from zippered opening and a clear plastic pocket on the "top" end for shipping documents or the required TSA owners return info label/tag. There is also a Velcro closable pocket beneath the clear plastic pocket for additional documents, (that is not immediately obvious at first glance.) Heavy Cordura Nylon material that is identical to my original GI issued one. Bag came faster than promised. Very happy with my purchase. My only real criticism would be, that the two end grab handles should have been sewn with more of the straps running down the inside of the bag, and stitched to that for additional reinforcement. They are really only stitched to the end panels. I'd be careful not to lift afully loaded bag by these only. Better grab at least two straps at a time if heavily loaded. This was a much better deal than the "D.X.ed" ones for sale on the surplus market. I plan to get many years of service out of this one.

this bag is high quality. thick material, large zipper, fits alot. worth every penny. just wich there was some way to lock it.

Great bag. Very sturdy and fits a lot of stuff. It's very basic but it's exactly what I needed.

My husband uses his bag to store and tote armor for his fencing. It is big enough to hold it all, and has been holding up well. He’s pleased but will only give it a 5 star rating after he’s used it for 5 years. He’s been using it about 3 months.

It is sometimes difficult to get a true sense of capacity based on photos (or even published dimensions), but this bag provided the volume I was looking for at a reasonable price. Simple but rugged construction. There are no external or internal compartments or pockets--perfect for my needs as I just needed to maximize internal capacity with no frills.

Perfect for camping and traveling!

Very heavy materials and very large. The zipper is really nice as well.I ordered 2 used versions, and 1 had a spot of dirt on it and the other looks brand new. Really pleased with them.

Wouldn’t waste money on this. Not for the price.Canvas is up to par. The zipper is decent. But it’s overpriced and with the full length zipper it can’t be stuffed like the old style top loaders. The side zip would be a great additional accessif it still had the top load opening however it does not. The big indicator of less than intuitive design is the flap closure loop (like old duffels used for closure) without the hook to secure it. To clarify it is not for locking. That simply would not work the zipper would still be totally accessible under the flap.Well conceived poorly implemented.Background - just before I left the army the new kids started showing up from basic/AIT with old top load duffels that also had zippers down the side. I was impressed and hoping this was that same thing.It seems to like many other designs out there that attempt to copy issued items but don’t quite hit the mark.Yes it’s heavy canvas.Yes it’s large.No it can’t be stuffed like a typical duffel.No it can’t be secured.No it’s not worth 70 bucks.
