High quality bag - tons of room- bought for DMAT deployments - rugged bag.
This travel bag is perfect for fly fishing travel. The drop bottom holds wet waders and wading boots to fly home without getting all your other clothing and gear wet and dirty. The bag is perfect size to carry all your fishing gear including wading jackets and flies. In addition, the wheels make it easy to travel with to destinations that require luggage transfers such as getting the gear from the airport to the float plane dock. Highly recommend this travel bag when you need a bag that will carry all your clothing and gear. 5 stars!!!
I was looking for a bag that had good support and a drop bottom. With my previous duffel style bag, everything would fall to the bottom making it hard to lug around. This bag has the convenience of a duffel with side support, bottom compartment, and wheels. Overall easy to use, easily fits a weeks worth of clothing including my hiking shoes. Very pleased with the purchase, wish I had found it sooner. Looks great too.
The product is clearly made cheaper than their previous roller duffels. The previous duffel had back pack straps that were hidden in a compartment. It also had a an additional zipper pocket on the top when the bang is nuts bottom. And now he has one smaller zipper compartment. Off the adjacent main one were before it had to one of the top and one on the bottom. The fabric also doesn’t seem to be quite as resistant, but Time will tell.

This is my second Fairlead 34 Drop Bottom Duffel. The first has gone through many ski trips on airplanes and baggage handling and has finally given up. The features on this bag are too numerous to describe but suffice it to say the bag is perfect for ski gear ie. helmet, goggles, gloves, boots, ski clothes and more.
