DISCLAIMER: This is a huge bag and, as per the description, it is meant to be used as a loadout bag for luggage while traveling, or for carrying all of your mission essentials while deploying. That said, this review will be based on the bag's ORIGINAL INTENDED USE and DESIGN.


REVIEW: WOW! This thing is huge. It holds a lot---so much that I can probably fit two monkeys/ martians/ midgets with assault rifles, rocket launchers, and their respective accoutrements to deploy in case of an emergency (you know the kind that I'm talking about). If that wasn't enough, it has an expandable gusset so you can even throw in your nagging wife/ mother-in-law so she doesn't pester you while you get work done. Think that's not good enough? This thing has tie down straps and inner pockets to keep things from getting loose, so that way you don't lose your stuff and be "that guy" when it comes to the inevitable gear check. Some outer pouches and MOLLE webbing (or PALS if you want to be PC nowadays...) make for nice extra storage of those little trinkets you always have to take with you (like your my little pony collection, or your troll dolls etc.). Finally, while this thing can get bottom heavy, the straps, stowaway handles, and rugged wheels help with transportation and some impromptu external tie-down storage (you know, in case the kids or your teammates get too rowdy). I recommend this bag because for price you get the same quality and storage as (or maybe even more than) some other name-brand loadout bags.


These things are so great, I bought TWO. Why? Double the capacity, baby!

I looked hard online and in retail stores for a bag like this. The reason for my dissatisfaction is that the bag Won’t stand up on its own. I’ve had to mount 2 wheels to the bottom of the bag so that I can Easley stand it up at the range. I know you did not claim that this bag with stand on vertically on its own, but there’s actually no room to lie it down in your lane at the range. I’m also 6‘8“ & 340lbs. & don’t really like to work off the ground.
Additionally, adding some strategically located Velcro would also be clever for attaching weapon/magazine holsters.
I definitely would not recommend this as a range bag.

This bag is the biggest I could find at its price point. The bag seems of decent quality but o have only used it for one week so far. My only complaint so far is the lack of support in the sides and not having any handles. A bag this size when full of patrol and auxiliary duty gear weighs and has certainly been annoyingly difficult to try and pick up without any side carrying handles(not the end handles as shown) It wheels nicely but without stiff support in the sides or at least the wheel side it will not stand up vertically on the wheel side.

This load out duffle could be designed for much more durability. It is flimsy and has absolutely no support on the bottom, nor can it stand up if needed. The center small compartment is removable, unlike the two outer small compartments, and has already torn after one trip. Did not live up to it's reputation, and I wouldn't purchase it again, as I would look for something much more durable.

This load out/bag out bag fits all of my tactical gear along with several changes of clothes, etc. The shoulder straps make it easy to carry or using the wheels allow for easy transport across smooth surfaces. I would highly recommend it.
