A serious expedition style extra-large gear/travel duffel. Perfect for extended vacations or gear-intensive expeditions. very rugged, adjustable, sturdy wheels and handles, and generally miles above the other wheeled duffles I looked at - no comparison. I will probably also purchase the smaller size for shorter trips and just give up suitcases altogether. A must-have for workout fanatics, the revamped Locker Bag has a redesigned door, more durable fabric and more eye-popping colors than ever before. I''''ve been a traveling tennis player for 20 years and this bag is the best thing I''''ve found for organizing my attire and accessories. I carry it in my trunk and I am now prepared to play at a moments notice. I no longer find my deodorant or toothpaste smeared over my shirts or stuck in my shoe. I can go away for a week at a time without checking luggage. I would nominate this bag for a place in the luggage hall of fame! A 3-4 day gear/travel duffel with a drop-bottomed compartment for extra storage. Also converts to backpack carry.

Although the bag is highly rated for the four items above, the most significant drawback is the weakness of the handle and roller system. The bag is very large and can hold alot of items. Because the construction of the sides is fabric material, weight distribution causes problems with the effectiveness of the roller. The bag easily gets off balance and twists and turns while rolling. This bag has worked out well. Since it is just a huge open duffel type bag, you can fill it to it''''s capacity with just about anything, and it holds quite a lot. The only poor aspect of the construction is that there is no skeletal support of any kind, so the bag is limp and collapsed until you fill it up. I''''m extremely happy with this bag. I have a smaller piece in the same series, so I knew its construction would be sturdy. It has a great look, holds vast amounts of clothing and gear (even my oversized diving fins), and I''''m confident that it''''s not going to fall apart when being thrown around. I would definitely recommend this piece.
