Gothamite 36" Red Duffle Bag with Wheels

--- Update 03/09/2020 ---I received new luggage from the manufacturer and I am very pleased. I'll leave the original review below, however I was told the original fulfillment wasn't done by the manufacturer so I don't hold them accountable for that issue and they made it right by providing a new bag to boot.I have taken 2 trips with this bag now and the large size suits longer business stays. I really like the convenient front bags. I like duffel bags and having wheels greatly helps moving it around. Some reviewers expressed concern about the size for certain airlines, I had no problem checking this bag on United and South West. The lock that comes with it isn't great but it will keep your baggage closed. If you are worried about security you should buy a real lock for you luggage.Overall, very good!-------------------------------Product was listed as new with no indication that this was obviously very used. There were used women's clothing items in the bag along with dried out food products and garbage. The bottom of the bag and wheels had moderate wear and scuffing on them. There was a lock with no key binding the zippers that I had to force open (there was no key in any pocket, I checked). If you are going to sell a used item it needs to be indicated as such. I do not buy used products that I can't evaluate in person. I don't like receiving items with other peoples garbage in them. I am very disappointed.

Now that I've put this duffel to the test, I can review it. I needed a BIG bag to take with me on Cycle Oregon, as they only allow one bag for ALL of your stuff. I did quite a bit of research, and finally settled on this bag, as it seemed to have good reviews and no complaints about it falling apart, like what i saw with other bags I looked at.So, for a week it was tossed on carts, thrown into a truck with 2000 other bags, and otherwise manhandled. I stuffed it to the seams as well, as I accumulated things over the course of the week. The bag came through admirably! It was sturdy, held up nicely, continued rolling along, and fit a LOT of stuff in there. There are a couple of side pockets, which are great - a few more would be nice, perhaps a couple on the other side, but that's not a dealbreaker. I'm not sure if the bag is intended to be waterproof, but the material is thick enough that after one night when it rained and the bags got wet, nothing inside got wet at all.Did I mention that you can fit a LOT of stuff in there? Yeah. Overall would highly recommend this as a large sturdy bag that travels well and can take a beating.

We intended to fly with it however the 3 dimensions added together exceed airline allowance. It’s a very nice, well built bag with sturdy wheels and bottom protectors.

This bag was great for my purpose. It was a little big, but all my SCUBA gear fit in easily and the weight did not exceed airline limits. Zippers work well. I like the three wheels on the bottom so the weight of the gear did not bend and wear out the bottom and the pull-out handle made dragging all the gear so much easier. Worked really well for flying with damp scuba gear. BUt it is big enough that you could easily go over the airline weight limits, so be careful. (The last one I bought of a different brand was ruined in one use because the bottom was not strong enough for the gear and the bottom dragged on the ground between the wheels. this bag is plenty strong and does well with the gear.) I do recommend this bag.

The media could not be loaded. Color:Nice stand out color so i can easily see my bag. Size:Loved the large capacity. Able to fit different sizes and shapes Functionality:The material left alot to be desired. Started tearing and fraying after the 1st or 2nd trip. Only purchased this oct 2024 and it will probably not last the rest of this year to use for travel… the handles were not very sturdy for the size capacity of the bag. Do not even think of putting anything in the outside pockets unless u just want to give it away. They have basically gotten ripped apart with ordinary handling at airports. Value for money:Was definitely not worth the price. Travelability:If your toting feathers or light equipment in your car this is an excellent choice… but real people with real travel needs…. NOPE! NOT THE ONE!
