Reviewed by Traveling from Montana on Thursday, May 02, 2013This is a nice sized bag with sturdy construction. I bought these for my volleyball team to use as a travel bag for their gear. There is no cardboard support at the bottom of the bag so it does not keep it's shape when on the shoulder. The nylon straps are actually tan on the bag. On my computer screen they look grey and I thought I was getting a black/grey bag but it is actually a black/grey/tan bag. Overall, this is a very nice, well built bag.

Reviewed by STP Buyer from Upstate, NY on Thursday, April 25, 2013I am not sure how well the material will last, but for the price you could buy an extra as a spare and still save money compared to other duffels.

Reviewed by Gary the biker from Rochester, MN on Thursday, February 21, 2013This is a great bag for any use where you need to carry a small amount of gear. Not a huge bag, but for the price, a very usable and rugged tote!

Reviewed by crosswise77 from Ponte Vedra Beach, FL on Saturday, January 19, 2013Even though the other reviewers had commented on the design issues, the price was right, I liked the color and needed a bag so I thought I'd give this a try. I can confirm the flaws. Nothing on the bottom to stiffen the bag so it folds in half when carrying; the points where the carrying strap attaches on the end is at the bottom and not the top causing the bag to want to flip over; I don't have any idea the purpose of the 2 tightening straps over the top of the bag which just get in the way. I like the look of the bag enough to make my own modifications to make it work better. We'll see how that goes.

Reviewed by sraennis from Bartlesville, Ok on Wednesday, December 19, 2012Loved this bag. I bought one for me and my husband. We have been traveling a lot over the weekends and was looking for a nice duffel bag. It is the perfect size. Love all the pockets to organize your stuff. It is quality made. We love the brand Kelty and this bag shows why. You can't beat the price either. I had found other bags at other major retailers that were junk and much more expensive.

Reviewed by Michele from Flagstaff, AZ on Wednesday, November 28, 2012I plan to use this product for weekend trips, etc. It is not exactly a bag to write home about but I rated it 5 stars because you aren't going to get anything better for the money. For what it is (a cheaply priced, average size, run-of-the-mill duffel bag), it is everything it should be. I like that it has 3 side compartments of different sizes and the material feels durable. The shoulder strap is nicely padded so it is less of a pain to cart around than other duffels. I bought the blue and love the color. I maybe wish it was just a BIT bigger, but I am hoping that this will fit easily in the carry-on bin (haven't tried yet, but my hopes are high) which will make the smaller size worth it. I am annoyed by the excessive number of straps and snaps that have to be done up.

Reviewed by Rozmo from The Mountain, GA on Tuesday, November 27, 2012I bought this duffel to carry my cycling gear in as I travel to organized rides. I like Kelty products and looked forward to using this duffel. I liked the roominess of the duffel and the three side pockets. However, I was sorely disappointed when I pulled it out of the box and discovered there's no firm support for the duffel's floor/bottom. When I picked it up with my stuff in it, the bag folds like an accordian. I tried putting some firm cardboard in it but that didn't help much. Also, the zippers on the side pockets only have one zipper and zip one direction (as opposed to two zips that I can zip up towards each other. Biggest drawback is the flimsiness of the bag....will return it asap.

Reviewed by Body Pump lover from Milwaukee, WI on Thursday, November 15, 2012I wanted a bag for the gym and this one has a few shortcomings for that use. The compression straps are annoying so I cut them off. The end pockets are the same size and each only holds one women's gym shoe. The bottom of the bag doesn't have any support so I put a piece of cardboard for stability otherwise it forms a V when carried since the shoulder straps are attached at the bottom sides. It still is always flipping because of that strap placement. No water bottle holder. Maybe a little too generous in size for a change of clothes and shoes. If these things don't bother you, it's a great quality bag for the price. The black/gray/tan color is very smart.

Reviewed by willow from Raleigh, NC on Tuesday, November 13, 2012Bag has some design flaws, but its good enough for the gym. The compression straps kind of get in the way, I'll probably just cut them off and the shoulder strap attaches to each side from near the bottom of the bag, a better placement would be near the top, that way the bag wouldn't scrunch up when its picked up.

Reviewed by Hiker Biker from Kalamazoo, MI on Tuesday, October 09, 2012Great bag, nice construction. The only area I would improve is adding a skid plate or some form of protection on the bottom of the bag to protect against moisture and soiling when laying down the bag. For me, I's welcome the trade-off in weight, but overall it's a great bag.
