I already had the 80L version of this bag (not quite big enough to be a hockey bag, but too big to carryon a plane). This one is much more reasonably sized. Great for a weekender or more, depending on how you pack. I think the idea use of this bag though, considering it’s ability to pack down is to bring with you on a trip when you expect to bring back more than you brought along. Folds down to a size slightly smaller than a folded pair of slacks. The shoe compartment is spacious and easily fits a pair of my size 11.5 shoes, although chukkas or boots with high ankles might be a tight fit. One thing to note is that the bag is soft-sided and will not stand up under its own weight unless it’s filled. Shouldn’t be a problem for most, but as the 80L, thought I’d mention here in case it’s an issue for you. Quality seems solid all around, no frayed seams and the zippers are water resistant. Haven’t tried getting it wet to see how well it beads water. All in all you just can’t beat this bag for the price. Read more
Makes a great hospital bag for packing everything I need for going to hospital to have my 3rd child! I have a lot of pjs, underwear and socks and one outfit for going home and plenty of blankets as well! Fits a lot and looks great and the size holds a lot! It has side pockets for my maxi pads and nursing pads also! Very durable! Had this bag for a long time now and love the color and good for traveling! Read more
-1 star for the mess I had to deal with after washing this bag before I even used it. Pic 1 is inside side of bag. Pic 2 is inside bottom of bag. I go to my home state at least once a month to visit my kids and my parents and I stay in my younger son's old room that has a twin sized mattress. I'm not a light traveler, so I need several bags for all my stuff. Because of neck issues, I always bring my own pillows. I also bring my own sheets, and heated mattress pad. I wanted a light bag that I could fit ALL my bedding stuff in, so I bought this 65L packable duffel bag, sold by DONEED in honeycomb fuchsia. I read a review that said the color bled onto items in the bag, so I decided to wash the bag before using it. In the bag description, it says "Duffel bag does not fade after washing" and I also read in the Q&A that it was washable, so I figured it was ok to wash it. I zipped it up, right-side in, put it in a lingerie bag, washed it by itself on the delicate cycle in warm water, and fully expected everything to be ok. Nope. Everything was not ok. There is some kind of coating or something inside the bag (I guess the waterproofing?) that detached from the bag, and it was everywhere inside the bag! So I figured I'd put it in the dryer, inside out, on no heat with a dry towel to try to get the rest of the white stuff off, but it did nothing. I then decided to wash the bag by itself, inside out, zipped shut, not in a lingerie bag, to hopefully get the rest of the pieces off. That worked, for the most part. Even after drying it on low heat with a towel, there's still a little bit left, but at least now, my bedding and pillows won't be covered in it. I can't say anything about durability, other than it's been through 2 wash cycles before I even used it, and it hasn't fallen apart, other than the white stuff situation. It's very lightweight, and big, so I fully expect it to fit all my bedding for travel. My washing machine water wasn't pink, so I don't think there was any color run, but that's not to say that if something was wet inside the bag, that there wouldn't be color transfer. I should NOT have had to do any of this. This bag should have been able to go through the wash with no issues, but luckily, in the end, it will be usable. Will update this review if needed, after I've actually used the bag. But, so far, things haven't been as expected. Read more
Pros: -love the light weight material and the hot pink color. -love this type of nylon shiny honeycomb material -zippers are smooth -decent stitching, seems durable enough -fold so very easily -not bulky -some may find that because it’s lacking a shoulder pad it’s a con but for me it’s a pro because I think those are annoying and I don’t plant to carry this on my shoulder anyways Cons: -I want more vibrant colors Overall, I love this bag, I have 2 others from different brands that I like, but I think I like this more. Let’s see how this holds up when I actually use it for travel. It’s simple, easy to figure out, it does the job I intend it for. Read more
I had to go on a trip, I’m not big on traveling anymore. I drive so luggage wasn’t a big deal. This bag fit a weeks worth of clothes, 2 pair of shoes and a sleeping bag! Oh, and all my toiletries! I packed a garbage bag for dirty clothes and couldn’t find it in my bag (I lived out of the bag so I never unpacked) didn’t realize there was a rubber/vinyl/plastic pocket on the end to put all this. It has a strap and handles, it isn’t horribly awkward, looks ok and I got it on sale Read more
Very compact and packable. I would recommend for short trips where you won’t be filling it up all the way and will not be checking it as luggage. The zipper is lower quality though, so ours broke after a few attempts at heavier use. Read more
I ended up buying 3 of these - different colors. They come folded in these cute packets. I've not tried to refold them yet but it looked pretty simple. They have plenty of room for tons of stuff and quality looks good and should last a long time with regular use. Read more
