Rothco Canvas Small Parachute Cargo Bag, Black

This small cargo bag is an absolute winner. It's the perfect "go bag," surprisingly roomy yet incredibly compact. The durable construction and strong zippers give me total confidence it will last. It's ideal for emergencies, quick trips, or just staying organized. I love how easily it stows away but expands to fit everything I need. A must-have for anyone needing a reliable, versatile, and tough small carry-all. Highly recommend!

This is only 54 percent the size of its bigger brother, the Rothco Parachute Cargo Bag. Easier to tote, this smaller bag is helpful in containing few bulky items, such as those in the uploaded photos. Like the parachute cargo bag, this mini version is also made of thick canvas. Further, the handles wrap completely around the bag for heavy loads. It also has a security flap over the length of the zipper. And at each end of that zipper track is a D-ring to attach your own shoulder strap.Then when folded, the bag is the size of two stacked T-shirts. That hideaway capability makes it easy for stowing into a small space like a backpack. So for traveling, sight-seeing, or running errands, those jaunts become pleasurable when this hidden bag appears. It'll take on the burden of carrying unexpected items that are bought or picked up along the way.In filling its 2,508 cubic-inch capacity (41 liters), the boxy bag occupies a small footprint, which makes the bag manageable to place into cramped places. By contrast, droopy duffel bags will need a larger space. Plus, this Rothco bag's handles are more convenient to pick up; you don't have to bend low to the ground compared to handles from a floppy duffel bag.Finally, I like the plain design. It has no distracting graphics or large marketing labels. The simplicity and neutral black color make the bag fashionable to carry while wearing any clothing type, whether it's gym clothes, casual wear, or even formal attire. So overall, I'm a happy owner of this simple, but high-quality bag.

This bag is exactly what I was looking for. Durable cloth, not some plastic gym bag material that will wear out in 2 months. No frills, no pockets to lose stuff in. Good size for when you have a couple days to pack for and carry-on sized luggage would only be half full. And since it is a soft bag any space in it you don't use will just collapse, making it very easy to stuff into overheads on planes or when your car trunk is already packed full. The handles are long enough that you can sling it over your back and wear it like a backpack also. It comes with attachment points for a shoulder strap if you want to put one on. This is a good bag and at the price it is great, I'm tempted to buy another just for backup.

I bought a nylon duffle about 10 years ago and took it out from the garage where I had been storing it for the last year (instead of the trunk of my Civic) and washed it because it was dirty last week. I used it store emergency car items (raincoat, gloves, jump cables, car tools, car flares, emergency strobe lights, emergency blanket, water bottle and so on.) Imagine my surprise upon trying to open my old nylon duffle to find that all the zippers were gummed shut and had oxidized. I finally was able to release the middle zipper with some WD-40, took everything all out and washed the duffle, where is totally fell apart, even though I barely used it. I wanted to buy something more rugged and chose this black canvas duffle because it had protected zippers and looked the right size to carry all my stuff without taking up a ton of space in my small car. I just got it today and packed all my stuff in there and then more. Hopefully this bag will last me at least a decade and I can be sure I have enough car emergency supplies and tools in case something unexpected happens. I am please with this purchase and the quality of the item. I only wish it had a carrying strap.

Nice canvas bag at a good price.

This is a nice heavyweight cotton canvas bag. Nice size. Zipper slides easily. Highly recommend it!

I needed a bag for all of my safety stuff for work, hard hat with visor and ear muffs, gloves, etc. I also keep a big rain jacket in there and an umbrella. Nice and sturdy, well made, but simple. Good price, too.

This might be a weird review. :) I bought the "big brother" of this bag a while back after reading that it was just the right size for transporting board games for Game Night. The big bag does in fact work really well for that because it's just the right size for most standard (modern) board games, and you can transport them either horizontally or vertically. The problem I had with the bag was the size...it was just the right size to carry 8+ games. Now we never play that many games in a single Game Night, plus it made the bag heavy!So on to this bag. I really appreciated the fabric and structure of the first bag, so I came back to the same vendor for the smaller version. This works great. I still use it for board games, but it's much more manageable as far as size and weight. I wish it had come with a shoulder strap but for now I'm carrying it without one.If you're looking for a decent quality heavier-duty small duffel you could do worse than this bag. I would buy it again.
