East West U.S.A Tactical Multi Pockets Heavy Duty Duffel Bag

I was planning to do some traveling in the future and wanted a large duffel bag for my clothes and personal incidentals. Regular luggage was very expensive, and I needed a cheaper alternative. From the pictures and descriptions, this product looked like a dream come true. So, I purchased the 35" and 26" versions. Here are the "good" and "bad."..ADVANTAGES.1. It is designed as a "tactical bag" with numerous pockets and a "military look.".2. For the price, no other counterpart can beat it. My 35" was an "Open Box" at $36.89. The 26" was $20..3. Both bags are huge - much room and storage space..4. There is a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects..5. The plastic fabric is water resistant...DISADVANTAGES.1. The material is not "Heavy Duty" as advertised. It is a very thin plastic fabric with a cheap inner lining. A friend has a gym bag with identical material. The inner layer cracked and began peeling in less than six months..2. On the 35" version, both ends sag and deform, even when empty. The 26" does not have this problem..3. The zippers are low quality. On the 35" model, I pull the fastener to unlock the zipper. The two sections do not separate cleanly. So, I gently pull them apart. On the 25" version, the cheap zippers do not glide easily. In fact they tend to sag..4. Problems were demonstrated by one dissatisfied user, who submitted pictures. First, the bag was not able to carry much weight. The handle was pulled off with torn web threads hanging in the air. Second, there was a punctured hole on the side. This verified the low quality materials used in the construction..He returned his purchased and bought another. The second did not last long...The above person was the only complaint among the eight user reviewers. So, I took a chance. After buying and inspecting the product, the man was correct. Purchasing this product was a mistake. On the other hand, I do not understand the seven other users, who submitted 5-star ratings. The quality problems were so obvious.

A great deal compared to the retail price. Big enough for a couple weeks of clothes and odds and ends. I travel a lot for my company and it's just what I needed

For the price, it's a great bag! I've had it for a couple months using it daily for work. I work in a mine and the bag takes some abuse. No problems yet. Zippers are nice and heavy duty. It's well worth the $35 in my opinion. Not sure why people are complaining at this price range.

CHEAP AND FLIMSY

Very solid bag, lots of pockets. Really like it.

He loves it more every time he uses it and it's the perfect size for everything he brings!!
