Size and Capacity

Pros:

  • "And you could probably fit every piece of clothing I own in this bag."
  • "This is also large enough to fit my entire wardrobe when I moved to my apartment."
  • "It is an enormous bag. I know it says 'large' in the description but this bag is almost comically gigantic."
  • "Need a big ol’ bag for all your crap? This is the one. One big pocket, big enough for AT LEAST 8 heads, and 6 side pockets."
  • "This bag is VERY roomy and can hold ALOT."
  • "This bag holds so much stuff! Didn't realize how large it would be but glad that it was because I can hold 3 people's clothes and shoes in this bag and all our toiletries."
  • "Omg this bag is huge and fits all of the things I wanted to store with ample room to spare."

Cons:

  • "This duffel bag was ok for a couple years but both of the zipper pulls have broken off."
  • "The description reads it measures 32.5 by 17 by 11.5 inches. Actual measurement is 32.5x17x17, too big for airlines checked baggage."
  • "When they say large, this thing is HUGE! I'll be looking for a smaller one to take with me to the gym in the future."
  • "This came much larger than I expected. It’s too big to fit in my locker."
  • "Had I known it was gonna be so HUGE, I would've went with a Medium, or bought a whole different bag."
  • "Much smaller than expected, based on reviews stating they are huge."
  • "I need a duffle bag that is no larger than 36 by 19 inches. This is for my Havasupai trip, where there are size restrictions for mule baggage."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

  • "Very well priced. Flew from Los Angeles to New York and back. They still look like New."
  • "Well made, nice quality, and a good price."
  • "So I actually purchased this bag 3 years ago... It is still holding up. No zipper issues, the straps are still in place and strong."
  • "Super durable. We took this to the max capacity of its weight limit on an international trip."
  • "I'm sold on Amazon basics products. Definitely Recommend!"
  • "The zippers are sturdy, as is the cloth, the hardware, and the straps."
  • "They are extremely roomy, come with a hefty shoulder strap, Zippers are strong."

Cons:

  • "Additionally there is nothing rigid in the bag, so it’s super flimsy and can’t support itself."
  • "The elements that the shoulder strap attach aren't as robust as they should be."
  • "The reason I was not comfortable in traveling with it overseas is because the threads are weak."
  • "Looks kinda cheap."
  • "The shoulder strap also slowly but consistently slides open to its longest length."
  • "The long strap broke and ripped away at the connection point on the very first use."
  • "Our family was unable to use this bag before the zipper broke. This bag was not durable at all-very fragile."

Design and Features

Pros:

  • "The six zippered exterior pockets were a nice surprise."
  • "Had three outside pockets on either side (6 total) and an inside pocket."
  • "Love the side pockets for carrying my smaller necessities."
  • "Not only does the outside of the bag have three pockets on either side but they are big pockets WITH ZIPPERS!"
  • "This duffel bag has three large zippered compartments on each side, which was a nice surprise."
  • "The 6 zippered pouches on the outside were great for easy access."
  • "The side zipper pockets are helpful for organizing smaller things."

Cons:

  • "So after removing linens it completely collapsed and she had a very hard time getting her clothes out."
  • "I didn't receive the shoulder strap in the package."
  • "Only desired addition would be holes in the zippers to attach TSA locks for additional security in the airport."
  • "The shoulder strap is too long to carry without being awkward."
  • "This bag empty will be an absolute puddle."
  • "The inside started to peel apart."
  • "Also the Fact the Zipper Eyelet is too Small to Accommodate a Normal Travel Lock, seems like a Serious Product Design Flaw and Oversight."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "A great buy at 20 dollars better then most at this price. A winner."
  • "There is a pocket for small items. Great buy!"
  • "I'm sold on Amazon basics products. Definitely Recommend!"
  • "For the price of this product I expected a featureless bag with substandard durability. Boy was I wrong, for the price you are getting an excellent value."
  • "For $20 it would seem impossible to do better than this bag from Amazon Basics."
  • "Can't fault this bag for the price. Took it on a long international trip with many changes of planes and it came out just fine."
  • "Well done and the price is awesome."

Cons:

  • "I used this bag to carry foam rollers... Very cheap. Would not recommend."
  • "Maybe I got what I paid for???"
  • "It can hold a lot, but not worth it. Practically disposable quality."
  • "Bought this for my child to take on a school overnight trip. Packed it using its full capacity but was not overstuffed by any stretch. Didn’t make it through me carrying it downstairs without a seam ripping."
  • "The stitching is of low durability and quality. Would not recommend."
  • "I regret this purchase... it already has a hole in the bottom."
  • "The bag ripped under light use within 6 weeks of purchase. Horrible quality."
