Texsport Canvas Tactical Bag

Good bag for the price. The waterproof bottom on the outside is a nice touch that keeps moisture and dirt from griming up the bottom. I do recommend treating the overall bag with silicone, or scotch guard type waterproofing. I use it for trips to and from my boat on weekends, and has more than ample space for everything.

This bag is very well constructed using high quality material. Has many pockets along the side and larger ones at each end. Can be worn as a backpack there is padding along the top which provides comfrot when wearing. Very handsome I use the bag as my primary luggage when traveling, however it is very durable an could be used for camping or hunting gear. Only CONs The bag is too large to use as a carry on and doest have a shoulder strap. Very pleased overall.

I have had the Texsport bag for a little over a year now and it has been performing well. I use it several times a week to carry my work gear. I have only noticed two issues. One, the tightening straps for using the bag as a back pack slip and loosten on the "D" rings ( I may be overloading it!) and would benefit from an alligator style clip. Two, the PVC water resistant base has become brittle and has cracked, but I use mine A LOT, in all types of weather. It isn't meant to be a waterproof base, just keeps moisture off your gear if you set it down in the snow or rain. Overall I am surprised at how well the seams and handles have taken the abuse I have given them. Allen L., West Virginia Oilfields

I bought this duffel bag for my trips abroad, choosing them over other heavier luggage bags so I could carry more stuff within the airline weight limits of 50 lbs. Well the bag arrived and initially I did not think that the size was accurate since the bag was collapsed (which btw, is good for storage between uses). However, when I started filling it with stuff, it started to look more substantial. The canvas material is strong so I wasn't worried about that. However, as some other reviewers have pointed out, for a bag this size (that is supposed to carry lots of weight), better quality zippers would enhance the overall value. I have used it only once so far, packing in up to 60 lbs and it withstood the handling of airline luggage personnel quite well. I have to see how many trips it will last. The fact that the bag does not have rolling wheels mechanism, saves a few lbs of weight so if you are OK with no wheels, go for it. If you are travelling alone though and have a couple of bags checked in along with a couple of carry on items, do keep in mind that lugging this thing can be a hassle. So the pro can be a con, depending upon your priorities.
