Normally I backpack and road trip. Went on a fly-there weekend camping trip to Sequoia from the Midwest and needed a way to pack enough for 2 people to camp, hike, and road trip from 60F to 25F. And carry tire chains too...all to say, I wasn't gentle with these.

They are... utilitarian. Fancy no. Let me carry 40Lbsx2 through LAX without worrying? Yes. If you need a workhorse duffel, these will meet your needs. I didn't have any trouble with the metal strap rings others have noted.

Also, they fit a lot.
