Kelty Expandable Duffel Bag

I bought this duffel to take with me on a 10-day road/camping trip chaperoning 19 college students. The packing list required three phases of packing and bags, so everyone came with a ton of stuff. I purchased this duffel at an unbeatable price, and I managed to fit absolutely EVERYTHING I needed in this bag, including all of the extra junk I collected along the way. I packed 5 pair of shorts, 6 t-shirts, rain gear, my sleeping bag and pad, toiletries, bathing suit, hiking boots, camp pillow, and large dry bag among other items in this bag. There was PLENTY of room to spare (it was probably only half full without the unzipped expandable part). The bag does have compression straps which came in handy for keeping my stuff from rolling around inside of the bag. The unzippable expanding feature was really nice when I bought some clothes and extras at a sporting goods store. There was even room to spare then, too. I washed the bag in the washer, cold water, inside out, no problems. I threw it in the dryer on low heat. I love this duffel!

I bought this duffle because of its huge capacity(9000ci). The price is very low. The zippers are what is to be expected for an economy model duffle. If you need storage and something to have in your trunk (shopping), this is the one to get. It does compact to a small size because of the lighter weight material. In general it is a great deal, but I wouldn't do any world travel with it.

Holds a vast amount of gear.We store all of our camping gear in 2 bags. Now when we go camping we just grab our Kelty bags and go.
