Military Duffel Bag Top Load Double Strap Canvas Backpack Army Travel

We live in the Southern Appalachians and are doing a great deal of landscaping with rocks found right here on the mountain. Unfortunately those rocks have to be moved by hand due to the steep terrain. Meanwhile, rucking, hiking with a weighted pack has become all the rage with fitness enthusiasts. This canvas bag serves both purposes- so far I’ve been able to carry a load of 80 lbs or so repeatedly up 8 to 13 percent grades for multiple meters/yards with no issues (other than a seriously high heart rate haha) . This canvas bag is outstanding!

I wanted a simple backpack that I could carry groceries walking home from the store and this fit the bill perfectly. Easy and quick to load and close (once you watch video and see how to latch it closed). I got the “small” but more than enough for a load of groceries.

Good quality and robust. Can't go wrong with that bag.

I bought this for a trip and was able to fit soo much. Be warned that if you are short it will look huge on you and they will ask you to prove it fits in the personal item box. (My husband had the same backpack and didn’t get stopped) Luckily, the lack of side pockets means you can punch it into the right shape if necessary. Even the flight attendant told us it looked too big for under the sit. It absolutely fit. It’s well made with high quality canvas. The straps are comfortable. I was able to fit a whole week worth of outfits, thin pair of sandals and a pair of flip flops. Honestly, I’ll definitely be using it again for trips but I’m not sure I’ll use it for airplane travel again. It worked great and it fit a lot but I was the only one security stopped and made us go back twice to prove size.

I've only had this for a couple days, but it seems well built. This is top loading and has D-ring strap holders. So, I'd imagine either the carabiner that closes the duffel will fail first, or the stitching will break apart. The carabiner feels a bit flimsy and it goes too far into the grommets which makes it a bit annoying, so I took off a star for that.
