Gothamite 36" Black Duffle Bag with Wheels

The bag build or structure whichever length you choose is very spacious bag accommodating a large amount of materials. The bag is "not" made to handle industrial use as in tools or metal containers etc. It is great for cardboard boxes items and soft sided objects clothing etc. Items with some give or flexibility to some degree. I estimate it's good for up to 75 lbs of materials or supplies maximum but best intended for 50 lbs or less. I Purchased the 36 inch and I pack it for longterm work related travel and use as a checked bag with avg 45lbs packed. I like that there are no interior sections or dividers or a two tiered top and bottom section. I needed a wide open duffle bag with wheels and this is holding up nicely at under 50 lbs and airline abuse. Stitched well and the price is $50 and plus dollars less than more recognizable brand name bags. It does have a hard piece bottom which keeps it stable when pulling. I like it and saved a good $50 to $80 buying this brand gothamite. I'm considering going with a second one...one negative might be the quality of zippers. I've seen less quality zippers than these but these zippers function well enough but are not intended to withstand bulging loads put in bags where it is difficult to zip closed. I do not over pack this bag or stress its seams intentionally to avoid wearing out bag. So the zippers I believe will be ok without overloading bag. People typically stress zippers by over packing bags and I don't think these zippers will withstand stress very well...

Size is amazing. Great quality. Straps are comfortable and adjustably. Looks good. Can hold a lot of weight.

UPDATE - adding another star for fantastic customer service. They were nice enough to send me a new bag - hopefully this one lasts longer.Unfortunately, it didn’t last as long as I’d hoped. Purchased in July 2019, pretty much destroyed by Dec 2019. I used it on 3 trips, and a handful of events because I needed something longer to accommodate some of my display materials. The bottom of the bag (the base where the wheels are) were worn away within the first two trips because it drags along the ground when you try to roll it. One of the pockets is starting to lift away from the body of the bag (looks like the stitches are breaking). The wheels quickly become uneven so it wobbles a lot while pulling it.I am buying another one to test it just because the size of the bag is perfect for me - hopefully it lasts longer this time. If you’re planning on using it hard (I regularly had 45lb+ weight in it), you might be better off with a different bag if you don’t need this specific size.

This bag is huge and can fit a lot. Easy to maneuver. I purchased this bag for my daughter's field trip that included an overnight stay at the field trip location. I was able to fit a thick/large queen size air mattress with head rest, a queen size down comforter, two regular bed pillows, a power strip, two pairs of shoes, clothes for me and my daughter, toiletries bags, and still had pockets to add more stuff.

First use, zipper broke at handle. Small rip at top of side pocket.

This bag is great for those who suffer from surplus joy in their life. I'll take up my umbrage with this item word-by-word:- Gothamite: Uh, the bag I received says Archibolt on the side. "Gothamite" is nowhere to be found. What kind of shell game are we playing here?- 36-Inch : Five stars on this, this bad boy is a full THREE FEET tall. Whoever left the review indicating that you would, quote, "likely not incur an oversized bag fee on any airline" must have been filling theirs with packing peanuts. Shoutout Delta Airlines, I went soaring past their 50lb limit with what I would consider to be a modest packing strategy and paid more than I did for the bag itself in overweight luggage charges within one day of it arriving on my doorstep.- Rolling: Nah. I bought this because it had three very cool, very 90s roller-blader-esque wheels instead of the normal two. This does not stabilize the bag. This makes it harder to turn, which you'll be doing a lot of, because you'll have 75 pounds of mass to throw around like you're a UFC fighter working on judo tosses in the bag check line. Also, these wheels amassed several feet of twine whilst rolling through the ostensibly twine-free streets of Brussels. Quite a mystery.- Duffle Bag: Wikipedia tells me that "generally a 'duffel bag' is used by non-commissioned personnel in the military, and for travel, sports and recreation by civilians." This bag fell apart within a week of fairly standard use. If I was in the military and they gave me this bag I would dishonorably discharge myself.- with Wheels: Technically true. See above.- Luggage Bag: Nah. This is a black hole with some cloth and wire sewn around it. "Luggage" denotes features like pockets, mesh, or zippers. Very few of any of those to be found on this barely-functional piece of hastily-constructed garbage.- Hockey Bag: I want to crosscheck this bag into the boards.You get the idea.Further notes:- This bag doesn't stand up on its own, so it's like having a lazy great dane carry your stuff around, if that great dane was also dead.- The "heavy duty" nylon tore at the bottom (see photo) after one week. The universe decided to wait until that hole appeared to dump rain on our campsite, through that hole, and into my bag - proof that God is a comedian.- MOST IMPORTANTLY: Hold in your head the image of a rolling duffle bag. Imagine lifting up the telescoping handle on that duffle bag. What do you hear? A CLICK. What do you see when you inspect that handle? A BUTTON HOLDING THE HANDLE IN PLACE. In their infinite wisdom Gothamite/Archibolt/ACME Corporation constructed their handle with a flimsy metal crimp INSTEAD of the tried-and-proven-by-a-hundred-plus-years-of-telescoping-handle-technology button clicky thing. In a related story, the handle on this bag is probably still in a Global Journey shuttle bus in Boom, Belgium after I threw it in the stowage in disgust, having dealt with the half-broken handle for miles and miles of walking around the Tomorrowland campsite with it.I hate this bag. Amazon refunded me in full, and let me keep it. I will be lighting it aflame and (legally) disposing of it in as gruesome of a fashion as I can concoct. One star.

It is big, and cheap. It is of decent construction, but poor design. It doesn't roll great, not terrible though. The most annoying thing about it is the fact that it will not stand up on its own.

Light weght but tough construction and canvas.
