This is only 54 percent the size of its bigger brother, the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Rothco-Parachute-Cargo-Bag/dp/B0017002RS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Rothco Parachute Cargo Bag</a>.  Easier to tote, this smaller bag is helpful in containing few bulky items, such as those in the uploaded photos.  Like the parachute cargo bag, this mini version is also made of thick canvas.  Further, the handles wrap completely around the bag for heavy loads.  It also has a security flap over the length of the zipper.  And at each end of that zipper track is a D-ring to attach your own shoulder strap.

Then when folded, the bag is the size of two stacked T-shirts.  That hideaway capability makes it easy for stowing into a small space like a backpack.  So for traveling, sight-seeing, or running errands, those jaunts become pleasurable when this hidden bag appears. It'll take on the burden of carrying unexpected items that are bought or picked up along the way.

In filling its 2,508 cubic-inch capacity (41 liters), the boxy bag occupies a small footprint, which makes the bag manageable to place into cramped places.  By contrast, droopy duffel bags will need a larger space.  Plus, this Rothco bag's handles are more convenient to pick up; you don't have to bend low to the ground compared to handles from a floppy duffel bag.

Finally, I like the plain design.  It has no distracting graphics or large marketing labels.  The simplicity and neutral black color make the bag fashionable to carry while wearing any clothing type, whether it's gym clothes, casual wear, or even formal attire.  So overall, I'm a happy owner of this simple, but high-quality bag.
