Leader Accessories Deluxe Water Resistant PVC Tarpaulin Duffel Bag Backpack 40L 70L 90L

The construction of this bag is OK, sturdy material, but it is NOT waterproof by any means. I know they don't make a claim that it is, but even water resistance was marginal. We took this along on a trip to Costa Rica. Even though it wasn't supposed to be rainy season, there was constant rain. The bag was left sitting on a dock for ten minutes or so as they were unloading our boat at a lodge. In just ten minutes, the amount of rain that got in around the zipper was enough to dampen all the clothes along the edges of the bag, and I spent the next three days trying to get everything to dry...finally had to get the hotel to put things in their dryer, because it was starting to stink. So, a good enough bag for hauling things around, but don't expect it to keep the contents dry.

Rode in the rain on and off for 4 days on a motorcyclist. If you take care to make sure the zipper is turned towards the back of the bike, and the zipper cover is in place. The bag is absolutely water proof under some pretty severe conditions

Almost perfect... needed a new bag for my soccer referee stuff. This bag is nice and big, in fact it's almost too big (I should have gotten a smaller size) but it's heavy-duty and will be much better than a traditional Cordura-nylon-fabric type of bag (which requires using a garbage bag over it to keep your stuff dry when it rains- not classy or professional at all!)My only wishes for this bag: that the top flap be cut a little bigger, or have a little magnet in it, or something, to keep it aligned and out over the zipper when it's zipped up; if the flap is lifted a little bit, some water can leak in through the zipper. The other thing is that I wish it had a few internal compartments for organizing the gear a bit.That said, both are very small nitpicky things (duffel bags traditionally don't have internal compartments anyway) and overall it's a great bag that I'm sure will serve me well here in the rainy Puget Sound area. If I think of it, through fall/winter I'll come back and update this review to report on the waterproofing, but honestly, just looking at this thing, it's pretty well-made. (Never heard of the brand but it's 2/3 the price of the brand names...)

I purchased this bag back in August of last year. In the 7 or 8 months that I've owned it, it has been through multiple international airports, security, TSA etc. It has held up exceptionally well. No broken zipper, latches or tears. If international travel rigors weren't enough, it is "sherpa approved" for surviving a trip to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa as well as as Freezing temperatures most recently on a trip to Everest Base Camp. I definitely recommend this bag.The green bag in the pic is my bag, roped together with my hiking partners on the back of our amazing sherpa.

I needed a sturdy bag like this for a variety of uses. Living in S. Florida requires products that can withstand a number of elements, the most obvious being rain, sand, and weight.I have traveled with this bag twice, requiring me to check it. This bag does not fit in an overhead compartment on a passenger airplane.The second time I traveled, there was heavy rain at the destination. This bag kept everything dry. It was not wet like the other bags at baggage claim. It’s durability is legit. Well stitched handles on the outside complete this bag.If you are looking at price and trying to make decisions based on budget, I can tell you that you will get your money’s worth. I have.

I got this bag for traveling when I thought it might have to sit out in the rain or be transported on the roof of a car. As it was, I'm glad it didn't have to do either of those things, because it's not waterproof — but they didn't claim it would be.In my opinion it does meet their claim of water resistance. It is made of very heavy-duty PVC-coated fabric, all the seams are waterproof, and any place where there is stitching, such as the handles, have all been PVC-coated on the inside.The place where water can obviously get in is the zipper. The zipper does have a flap over it, like on a jacket, but water can still infiltrate through the teeth and through the porous fabric the teeth are attached to. All it would take to protect this bag, therefore, is a heavy-duty garbage bag over it to keep out most of the water, and that wouldn't take up much space when packed inside for emergencies — so I keep one on hand.All in all, I'm very happy with the quality of construction and the various features.For example, I wanted to be able to carry this on my back, and it has shoulder straps like a backpack. The shoulder straps aren't the most comfortable — I wouldn't want to use it for backpacking — but at this price point, they are the correct design choice. The handles on the ends seemed very sturdy, so I had no worries about them failing.And I wanted to take it on planes as a carry-on. This meant it had to be compressible to the correct size. The idea was to load it in the uncompressed state, then use straps to crush it smaller. When I arrive at my destination, I release all the compression, and that makes it easy to dig around inside to find things when they aren't packed so tight.Fortunately, for this purpose an intelligent designer put buckles on the sides that can quickly compress the height. And there are loops in the straps on the sides so that the length also can be compressed by drawing them together with webbing or string. Ideally, the bag would have built-in straps to perform this length compression, but then it would have been more expensive.The dimensions for the 70-liter size as stated in the Amazon listing are 24" x 15.4" x 15.4", which equates to 93 liters. I would say the shape of the bag most closely resembles a cylinder that is 25" long and 14" diameter, so strictly speaking that would make it 63 liters; however, duffle bags aren't rigid, and this bag isn't exactly a cylinder, so when the sides and ends bulge out, the effective uncompressed volume could easily be 70 liters.

Semble de bonne qualité mais beaucoup trop cher.

wow! absolument génial ! produit de grande qualité ! Je le recommande fortement !

Guality price and delivery 5for5. I haven't put it to use as yet so I can't report how it preforms.
