The bag's interior frame is made of heavy-duty nylon. Polypropylene is a heavy-duty material that can withstand a lot of Foam is also used to line the bag's sides, which gives it more structure.
The bag is primarily made of a tough nylon fabric. This bag is one of three that I have. We live in a foreign country, and we travel internationally several times a year with these bags. The rollers are great, and we haven't broken any of them yet. We typically load 50 pounds based on airline allowances. The nylon is tough and hasn't been ripped or torn in any way.
Some Amazon sellers deliver to APO addresses, while others do not. APO/FPO addresses can be delivered to.
You'll need two of them, as well as a regular backpack. It wasn't much fun, but I did use the straps to carry one as a backpack while rolling the other and my regular backpack in front of me.
Selected User Reviews For Mercury Tactical Gear Code Alpha Mini Monster Wheeled Deployment Bag, Basic, Black, One Size
This was purchased for my adult son who is serving in the National Guard and needed a bag with wheels. He already had his Army issued bags, but a friend recommended this one to him. Unfortunately, the zipper tore and one of the rubber bumper pieces snapped before he could even finish pre-production. the deployment He's still in the United States, but he's on a 30-day lockdown, so he's not sure if he'll be able to return it anywhere. This had so much potential, and I was disappointed.
Excellent craftsmanship. Big. br>br>First and foremost, I purchased this bag to serve as the family's sole piece of luggage. It is undeniably effective. br>br>The three-wheel design is one of the features that drew me to this bag. It is extremely effective. br>br>Be aware that this bag is quite large. It's not a mini. Most major airlines in the United States have size restrictions, and this bag is on the verge of breaking them. When you have a nervous attendant checking bags on a discount carrier, you may end up with a bag that is longer than the required 62 linear inches when it is fully loaded. Even though the bag's stated dimensions are less than 62 linear inches, this is still the case. br>br>As of this writing, the dimensions listed on Amazon are incorrect; the long edge is 31" rather than 33" as stated. I took a picture of the bag's tag and used a tape measure to double-check the dimensions. br>br>This bag is also quite heavy, weighing in at nearly 10 pounds. While it has more space than my previous bags, I can't fill it to the brim with our family's clothes, shoes, and toiletries without it weighing more than 50 pounds. To keep the bag under 50 pounds, expect some unused space in the bag. Also, get a good scale so you can make sure you're not over fifty when you get to the airport. br>br>I was pleased to discover that the center divider, while not fully removable, is attached by Velcro on one side and can be collapsed if desired. br>br>Others suggested a telescoping handle, which the bag lacks. I agree. Others commented that the bag would be better if it could sit upright instead of resting on its long bottom. I agree with you. I am exactly 6' tall and had no problems with it hitting my heels while I was pulling it around the airport; the time this is most frustrating is when you're traversing the line to the bag drop because you'll have to keep bending down to pick it up as you move through the line. br>br>I have only taken one trip with it so far and think I like it. This particular item has a high monetary value. Have a go at it. You won't be disappointed, I promise.
It didn't make it through the trip. Take a look at the photos from the first trip to see what kind of damage was done. The interior space is large, and the fabric feels tough, but the wheel cover area is extremely thin, and it broke apart on the first trip (on an airplane, not outdoors).
This bag was purchased as a tactical bag for my cop boyfriend's team when they were deployed out of town. He required a bag large enough to hold his clothes, toiletries, and all of his duty gear (duty belt, uniform, vest, boots, and so on). I received the bag, which appeared to be of good quality and large enough to hold all of his belongings. The handles and zippers were sturdy, and I especially liked the detachable toiletry bag on the side and the divider inside. The bag itself is quite heavy, but there appears to be plenty of padding inside to keep anything from getting damaged. I'd compare it to a really heavy duty hockey bag (the size is quite large!). I went with the green camo because it was the least expensive, and the pattern is quite nice. My boyfriend was pleased, and remarked that it appeared to be much more expensive than it actually was! I couldn't justify spending $200 on a bag that would be tossed around and abused! br>br>My boyfriend hasn't had a chance to use the bag yet, but it looks great and the price is unbeatable! I'll try to update after a few road trips!.
As I was getting ready to leave for college, three military siblings recommended this bag to me. br>br>Wait a moment - If you overfill this bag, it will be far too heavy to pass through most airport security checks. It was, however, ideal for storing all of my belongings for a year away from home. Because of the bag's soft fabric, I was able to stow it under my bed without taking up too much space. br>br>The three wheels and sturdy cloth handle can withstand a lot of abuse, and this bag is simple to pack. It's something I'd recommend to anyone who travels frequently and needs to bring a lot of stuff! 5 out of 5 stars.
Although this duffel appears to be sturdy, it is not. The brace for one of the wheels collapsed after only two trips, and there's wear and tear along the edges that I'd expect after 20 or more trips, not just two.
The best value for your money! This is a fantastic bag. It'll be ideal for my upcoming month in Europe. I'm hoping that the heavy-duty wheels can handle the cobblestone streets. It's spacious, with an interior divider, padded sides to keep your belongings safe, and mesh toiletry pockets on the inside.
This bag turned out to be much larger than I had anticipated. It looks exactly like the ones I've received over the years, and I expected it to be the same size, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was larger. It has a lot of space and can hold a lot of things. I've got about 60 pounds of clothes, gear, and miscellaneous items in it right now, and I could easily fit more in it. It's easy to roll around when it's full, unlike some other bags I've had that have odd heights and make you slouch or constantly smack your heels as you walk. This is a nice bag, and the low price is well worth it when you consider that a similar bag from a more well-known brand would cost twice as much. Amazon delivered it on time and in good condition, as usual.
