text: Upon receiving this duffel,  I was excited as it appeared to be well-made and, aesthetically, it looked great. However, after using the bag just three times, the stitching near the main compartment zipper came apart followed by the zipper itself breaking, thus rendering the bag unusable. I bought the bag cheap expecting, at the very least, to get one or two years out of it. Unfortunately I only was able to use the bag a total of three times before it started falling apart. I would advise anyone looking to purchase the duffel to be wary of its questionable durability.
