Rothco Small Canvas Parachute Cargo Bag – Rugged Outdoor Storage Travel Duffle

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!

I bought the small 23.5" x 11.5" x 11.5" bag in Coyote Brown to store trunk stuff in my car. I chose the lighter color because I can't stand to dig around in black or dark bags, especially at night. I like that the bag feels heavy duty all around and has snaps on top of the zipper for rough handling. I tucked a foam kneeling pad (11"x18"--perfect fit) into the bottom that serves a dual purpose. First, I have a roadside kneeling pad if I need one. Second, the pad provides a "rigid" bottom for the bag. Right now I have stowed a portable air compressor for the tires (with it's small set of adapters and fuse replacements tucked into a small box), a multi-featured battery jump starter, shop towels, emergency space blankets, cranking flashlight, umbrella, and fold-up rain ponchos. There's PLENTY of room for more stuff. If you're wanting to carry 20-lbs of tools, this is not your bag, but 10-lbs of stuff should be doable. I think this would be an ideal travel bag, too, and probably fits most airline carry-on size requirements. I like everything about this bag for my intended purpose. If I had to give it a "con" that would be for lacking an interior zippered pocket for small but important stuff. I plan to use a small zip-top lay-open style bag for that. Overall, this is an ideal bag. 5 stars for sure.

Great, durable bag. I have both this size and a larger one. They are so durable and are great for car camping. I use them to carry blankets, towels, tarps, etc.

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.

It's a cheap, spacious bag that was recommended to me for board game transportation and has been excellent for that purpose.

Great quality for the price. Very pleased with this bag. Used to tote clothes in my car, works well for this purpose.

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 fine for what it is -- a basic duffle bag. However, calling it a "Parachute" bag is deceptive, even if not intentionally. No parachute would fit in this bag. The packing tray would not even fit in this bag. It is a small duffle bag made in the style of a standard aviator kit bag, but it is NOT a standard aviator kit bag. The vendor has accurately advertised the dimensions: 19" X 12" X 11". However, that is tough to conceptualize without seeing it. 19" X 12" X 11" is 2,508 cubic inches. A standard aviator kit bag is 22" X 20" X 12", making it 5,280 cubic inches. Just using those numbers, this bag is less than half the volume of a standard aviator kit bag. However, since the much larger panels of the standard aviator kit bag balloon-out more then the panels on this bag when you stuff each with extra contents, the difference is more pronounced than the dimensions indicate. The difference is even more pronounced if you have to carry something that is especially long. Using the standard formula to calculate the distance between far corners of a cuboid, this bag will only carry something up to approximately 25 inches long, whereas a standard aviator kit bag will carry something up to approximately 32 inches long. I estimate this bag carries only about 1/3 the amount of stuff you can fit in a standard aviator kit bag. If you have a lot of stuff to haul around, pay the extra $30 and get the standard aviator kit bag. If you're just looking for an inexpensive, utilitarian duffel bag to use as a carry-on, overnight bag, first aid kit, or bolt bag, this will do just fine.
