I bought this duffle for one purpose: to take on an African safari.  Safari operators tell you that you must have a soft-sided, no-wheels, duffle-type bag on these travels and this bag fit the bill.  (Note: be aware that no one apparently enforces these restrictions as my fellow-travelers showed up with fancy, wheeled luggage that one might see on Park Avenue!)  This bag survived the trip intact and performed its basic function of keeping my clothes safe and reasonably clean.

PROS:
  1. Quite large and holds a lot of stuff.
  2. The two end pockets are big enough to hold toiletry bags, several books and the like.
  3.  Well enough made to survive at least three weeks of being tossed about the African bush country.
  4. Dust proof.  At the end of the day the outside of the bag would be covered in dust, but my clothes were fine.

CONS:
 1. The large size, which I purchased, is actually so big as to be unwieldy.  Unless you have a huge amount of clothes go for the medium size as this big one allows your clothes to be tossed around inside.
  2. Bag is difficult to carry, due to its shape and flexibility.  Fortunately, we had porters to handle our bags, but I still felt sorry for them.
  3. No small pockets.  I am an organization freak and would have preferred more pockets to keep things separated.
  4. Not real sturdy.  While this bag served me well for three weeks of hard use, I would not recommend it if you plan on frequent hard use.

BOTTOM LINE: A good buy at a reasonable price for infrequent use.
