>>1924736Fair enough. I used to have a vintage surplus GI duffle and I agree it had a stronger closing mechanism than a zipper. But it was a pain in the ass to pack and unpack, and a nightmare to find a single item in once it was packed, so got relegated to a laundry bag.
Zipper duffles make better travel bags, and something like pic related can be strapped to the roof of a car and carried in a rain storm and the things inside are still dry.
