Reviews
Cargo Hauler 130L
"The bag could use some internal tie straps. Unless the bag is completely it has no backbone. The bottom section with the wheels tends to bend and and the bottom end of the bag tends to drag on the ground. Result is that the load does not want to roll on the wheels and the bottom end of the bag gets trashed as it rubs on the ground."

Well designed rolling duffle
"After three decades of using basic ballistic cloth duffles for traveling we bought the 130 and 110 versions and have now used them for a couple of international trips where there has been 20-25 kg of gear in each. Most rolling duffles are rigid and heavy. These are not rigid and lighter weight. The single compartment design and the smaller compartment are well thought out. For one trip I used the backpack straps. The large open zipper compartment lets one easily load gear but stabilize the load with the compression straps. These bags are NOT rigid duffles but if loaded correctly the bags will standup on their own. Rolling the duffles is easy enough but as they do not have an extension they need to one's side rather than behind. As they are not a rigid duffle they can be rolled up for storage and are lighter weight than others. The only concern will be the long term durability of the main material as the waterproof coating is on the exterior which is subject to wear. We have already noticed a few bubble spots. Our previous duffles the coating was on the inside. After decades of use it has worn off."

great bag
"Really appreciate the engineering of this bag. It is really too large for me to use as a backpack and would suspect this is true for many if not most people. worked really well as a bag that could be rolled up and put out of the way. glad this is a duffle with wheels which was hard to find in the marketplace."

Great for camping
"Took to the Texas Ren Fair. I needed a bag big enough to fit my tent and some camping gear, as well as costume and clothing for a weekend. It was a trooper. Fit just about everything I needed and then some. Got dragged around the airport with no problems. I'm five foot 1 inch so i was worried the bigger version would be hard to manage, but it was not. The wheels roll smooth, and I was still within the baggage limits for the plane. Love that it was waterproof because it did rain one of the days we were there and I didn't have to worry about anything getting wet while i was travelling."

Useful For Large Loads
"Good bag. I like that it rolls up to a small size as many times I have differing loads coming and going."

Love it for packing cubes.
"We have had this duffel bag for a couple of months. We are a family of 5 and use packing cubes to pack. This is such a game changer for traveling. I love it and am so glad I bought it. Worth it!"

Just what was needed
"My daughter was going on a long cross country summer tour with stops in 25 cities over 11 weeks. Sleeping on gym floors so everything including the bedding needed to fit inside and be packed and unpacked almost daily as well as survive being loaded and unloaded on the bus all summer long by teenagers. We loved that it was without the large frame which takes away so much weight, and she was happy that everything she needed for the adventure fit in one bag."

Looks Good
"Have not yet taken it out on a trip, but it is big, roomy, and very well made and tough. I got this because I used to go through wallets often, they would break, wear out, etc. Then I got one that I have now been using for probably 30 years - fabric still good, zippers work well, it just keeps on and on. Made by Eagle Creek. So I expect the same from this duffel."
