Amazon Basics 35-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, Blue

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 is a heavy duty bag. It weighs about 10 pounds by itself. The frame is very strong and has survived multiple flights without any issues. Rolls nicely, sturdy wheels. Holds quite a bit and I really like the lower level of the bag for keeping things relatively flat. There’s a couple outside pockets which I didn’t use simply because there was plenty of room within the 2 main compartments. Also, the material itself is pretty thick and seems like it would be hard to rip. I would buy this product again.

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.

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!

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.

I have had several rolling duffels over the years. They usually last a few trips until the fabric rips, the handle fails, or one of the zippers gives out. I am impressed by this one for three reasons: superior design (lots of separate storage areas), flexibility, and build quality. I think this one will last a long time.

What I love about it: Lots of room and different compartments to maximize storage.What I don't like: The two-wheel design is great when you are in motion, but the bag is extremely cumbersome otherwise. Since only two wheels at the base, it is prone to tipping over when you just want it to stand up. This is a deal breaker in crowded shared spaces such as airports and subway/metro stations as these places don't typically have enough room to just sit the bag down duffel-style. Not the easiest bag to travel with.
