I bought this duffel to replace my old duffel of many years.  I mainly use my duffel for travel when my roll-aboard carry on doesn't have enough space, but I don't want to pay to check a bag.  The padded shoulder strap is great for long hauls through the terminals and the handle on the end of the bag is great for getting hauling it out of the overhead compartments.  This bag is made of durable material.  I like the subtle black patterning on Flourish with the contrasting green/blue accents.
