> 3 dayThis bag is great! I love the fact that it has a top-side zipper and snaps to back it up so all of the strain of an over-stuffed bag doesnt blow the zipper apart. It doesnt hold quite as much as my seabag, but is definitely easier to pack and organize, plus its easier to find in a crowd of 50+ green bags that all look the same on a military flight. The handles are sturdy and just the right length to be used as an improvised backpack for carrying through the airport when you cant find a baggage cart. You can also lock it by running a luggage lock through the zipper to the strap hook. An added bonus is that you can pack it empty into a suitcase for those trips when you dont know exactly how much stuff youre going to be bringing back with you on your return flight, so its great for those of us who get tons of souvenirs for everyone or stock-up on things that we miss from home. You really cant go wrong with this bag!

> 3 dayLike the size and the material seems sturdy, zipper seems good quality, but boy, this thing has an odor to it. Hand washed it with soap and water then soaked it in water and vinegar and washed it again, let it hang in the sun two days. That helped. Will probably use it for camping gear.

> 3 dayCant say enough good things about these bags! Its almost like they keep getting bigger, the more stuff you put in them! Theyre rough, theyre rugged, and they stand up to abuse. I use one for grip equipment, so there are lots of pokey light stands and other heavy stuff, and this bag just laughs at it! I use another for heavy-duty power cables, probably 60 pounds worth, and this bag just shrugs it off as if its no big deal. Lately Ive been noticing issues with zippers on some of the carrying cases that come with gear Ive purchased. These zippers are REALLY heavy-duty, never catch or snag, and the snaps close over the top of the zippers for further protection. These are truly amazing bags. I used black t-shirt iron-on transfer paper to affix labels to the handles, to differentiate the bags (I have three of them), and it worked great. And the price is simply amazing!!

> 3 dayI ordered this bag thinking It was the standard size US military parachute bag. Well its a little smaller and was disappointed. I decided to keep it and use it to pack my tools. The Pros are its a sturdy bag made from heavy canvas. The Cons are, its s heavy bag, so I wouldnt take it far unless your gonna camp. Its not waterproof but I will definitely spray on some water repellant. It only has one zipper so dont over stuff this bag.

> 3 dayThis bag is bullet proof. It is constructed of thick, cotton canvas and it is well stiched. The zipper is smooth and sturdy. I have had the pack about 75% full with about 20-25 pounds of stuff and it felt really solid. Didnt notice any weakness at any of the seams. The handles are wide and really soft so they dont dig into your hands or shoulder. The hand loops are big enough for me to stick my arms through and carry it on my shoulder. The d-rings are also sturdy. I attached a strap to them and they didnt strain, nor did the stiching, when using the d-rings. As for the size and volume, here is what i packed to have the bag reach about 75% capacity. I am 57 and 160 pounds for size reference. - a pair of mid-top hiking boots - a pair of running shoes - down coat - waterproof coat - fleece vest - a softshell jacket - three sweaters - 4 pairs of pants - 5 pairs of socks and undies - 5 shirts - a book about the size of a bible - toilettries bag Despite being so tough and thick, the bag is light and packable still. I am very happy with the purchase. I got the Coyote Tan color. One thing to note, Rothco makes a smaller version of this bag called Tactical Cargo Bag. That bag only comes in black so if you want matching bags, you will not be able to have that. I even contacted Rothco directly to see if they carry other colors and they dont. I wish they did.

> 3 dayI purchased this to carry EmComm HAM radio antenna supplies and it is as advertised. I would prefer to have a brass zipper and a solid bottom, but this is the only bag this size I could find. No worries as it does its intended job.
