I did not want to leave a review until after my trip, the bag was much bigger then I thought it would be which was a big plus! This bag was packed, filled with baby/toddler items like ready made formular(very heavy), diaper, wipes, beach toys plus much more. It with stood the plane ride and looks like it was never used. The big plus about this bag is the top zips all the way around, meaning when fully unzipped you can see all levels of the bag, you don't need to take everything out from the top to get to the bottom. I purchased another bag from Overstock, but wished I would have bought two of these instead. This bag also has extra straps on top to keep the bag more secure. I would be very surprised if you didn't like this bag as well!!!
I purchased this bag to take on an overseas trip to Europe. This was the worst purchase I have ever made. Within 2 hrs of using the bag, the retractable handle completely broke into, thereby forcing me to pull the bag through the many airports and hotels using only grab strap on the front. Also, the "leather" snap which combines the handles on the top of the bag became completely unstitched. And finally, one of the side zippers broke and would not repair itself. I have never had such an aggravating experience with a travel purchase in my lifetime of traveling.
I really appreciate the comments from other purchases. It was these comments that helped me make the buying decision. The Traveler's Choice 30-inch Three-wheeled Duffel is one of the best made I have ever seen or owned. It has a very heavy duty fabric with sturdy zippers and other mechanisms. I like the convenience of opening the large compartment, it's big enough to open all the way for ease of packing/unpacking. The many smaller compartments add to its versatility. The wheels and handle look like they will hold up even to the baggage gorillas.
the wheel duffel is the best purchase i have made. it is very spacious has a side pocket, a shoulder strap, three wheels and a handle to pull the duffel. very well constructed. very great features and durability. i'm very glad.
I was fortunate to buy a really quality rolling duffle last year and unfortunately it was damaged in a flood. This bag has problems that potential buyers should know about. First, it sags in the middle which was mentioned by other buyers here. A real pain. Second, it does not have a retractable handle and a rigid back, only handle on the bag itself. Third, in light of number item two, you cannot stand this bag up as with a retractable handled bag. Fourth, there is only ONE external pocket that is usable limiting what can be readily accessible to the traveler (one wonders WHY they put a small zippered pocket on the BOTTOM of the bag??? Fifth, the pocket inside the bad is one large plastic bag running the length of the bag, rather than small pockets at the ends of the bag, which is much more convenient. Conclusion: The bag is reasonably priced, but has distinct drawbacks.
Purchased this bag before going on a 3 week trip to Alaska. It held winter coats, bulky clothes and shoes for two and was still well within the weight limits for the airlines. Slightly more difficult to pack due to the sides falling down and in but the large zippered opening made it easy to keep it organized while finding what you wanted without unpacking everything. Found it easy to handle when fully packed. It served our needs perfectly.
the 30 inch duffel is a really great purchase. it is so comfortable when you use the shoulder strap it has little buckles so you could secure your stuff on the inside and pockets on the side. very smooth rolling. a handle so you could drag it around when it gets too heavy. it is a really great duffel.
I purchased the bag for a trip from Utah to West Africa. The appearance and space was excellent, but the stitching came apart with its first use, so the durability was extremely poor and could not recommend the product.
Having lugged a big Hartmann bag around for 20 years, I decided to update to a rolling bag. I did a lot of web browsing before deciding on this one. I was highly motivated by the three skate wheels vs. two on most others. When it arrived I was very pleased. The quality is good, the design is highly functional, and the three wheels keep it from tilting like the little bags do. I like the closeable pocket for the handle. Now I can use my cane AND carry my own bag. I recommend it for it's construction, functionality and price.
I am writing this review from Jerusalem. This duffel arrived about a week before my departure. It packed beautifully, largely to the neat way is zips open. After an international flight it still looks like new. Wheeling it around is a breeze. Buy it ... you will really appreciate it if you like to travel alot.
This bag is more than I expected!!! Looking forward to more trips with it.
We were looking for a bag to take with us onboard a 5-day cruise. Having an infant, it means that we need to travel with diapers & wipes, plus baby food, plus water and formula -- you get the idea. We wanted a bag that we could roll with us, just in case the rest of the luggage did not appear at our stateroom in an orderly fashion. The bag is tremendous. It is huge. It is easy to roll (the wheels do not stick), and it is affordable. The Travelers' Choice 30-inch duffel will replace some of the other large luggage bags that we will use on future trips. It is definitely worth the investment if you do lots of traveling.
I really need this type of bag seeing as I travel a lot it was a good deal the best ive seen for such a great product
I am very amazed by the great guality of this 3 wheels duffel. The material is very thick (Balistic Nylon). The handle seems well-made. Most important, it come with 10 years warranty.
none of the other duffels i have purchase doesn't compare to this one. It is really big roomy. has three wheels instead of two. a side pocket, zipper pocket to hide the handle. and very tight straps to secure your stuff. i am very happy with the purchase.
This duffle is very well made and roomy. Very easy to use.
I sent this bag to my brother for his birthday. His comment was that it looked cheap and not very nice and could he send it back? On the plus side, it wasn't that expensive - so I guess I got what I paid for.
This is a great duffel bag at a great value. I had bought one for myself and when I started packing I found it held a lot of stuff. So when I started to pack for my husband in a different bag and we could not get everything in it, I immediately called and ordered another. We traveled to Ireland and they held up well. No problems. They rolled nicely and they really are quite large. We would buy others if necessary and we highly recommend this item.
I purchased this bag to use on weeklong vacations that I take once or twice a year. The bag is nicely sized for a week of travel. I also didn't want to spend too much money on a bag, so this item seemed ideal. On the return journey from my very first trip with this bag (I had 1 layover in each direction) , one of the riveted plastic feet was ripped from the bottom of the bag. More annoyingly, one of the zippers was broken on the same trip. The metal loop in the zipper sheared clean off, making it very difficult to open the zipper. I've never seen that happen with a metal zipper, obviously the metal used is a very soft alloy, and not as strong as it needs to be. Also, the bag is apparently rebranded, it does not indicate that it is a Traveler's Choice bag anywhere on it. It does appear to match the photos of Traveler's Choice brand bags on their website. I'm somewhat suspicious that this bag may be lesser quality than their branded bags. As others have mentioned, the bag does not stand upright unless fully packed. I think this is a minor annoyance, it wouldn't normally be a problem for me. It was the disappointing quality that led me to rate it so poorly. I'm very reluctant to use this bag again, I don't want to have a more catastrophic failure on my next trip. I think I'm going to be investing in a better quality bag for my next trip.
It was very large and roomy--easy to pack and maneuver. Look forward to using it often
