The original quality of these are amazing. The one i received the shoulder straps were falling off. The shoulder straps were well past the usable point so i cut them off and am using the bag with out them. I know I'm buying used that's why i kept the bag and 99% of the items i buy from keepshooting are flawless.

The quality of the Nylon is ridiculous. You could fill this bag with sand and use it as a punching bag for all intents and purposes. Not that you would want to waste it like that. Buy an actual punching bag if you want one, and use this bag to consolidate multiple other bags and items. You may have an overnight bag, bug-out bag, a laptop day-bag, a bluetooth speaker--what have you. You have multiple items in your trunk or the back of your pickup that you need to carry back and forth to and from your destination. This bag gives you the ability to carry them all at once. Trying to use the shoulder straps are a bit difficult unless you are a seasoned professional. Holding the shoulder straps together to form one handle, and using the actual side handle at the same time, and you can transport a heavy group of items in one trip to and from A to B. It's not just for camping, it's not just for trekking to the battle front or your barracks. Make your civilian life easier by leveraging items like this that make Military Surplus so attractive to those of us in the know. The bag I received appears brand new. The value is incredible. Bottom line, bag is huge, and there is also a small convenient side flap-closed pocket. The main opening is closed using an amazing military closing concept that executes flawlessly, and provides secure lockibility.

RECEIVED MY BAG WITH A STAINED BOTTOM . SHOULD LAUNDER OUT OTHER THAN THAT ALL GOOD. GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY

This is the basic duffel that you carry your kit overseas in. It's simple, robust, and useful. Holds pretty much everything, including the kitchen sink. All my belongings went into one of these, when I went over to Iraq. The shoulder straps are minimal and uncomfortable, but it's a duffel bag, not a backpack. If you're traveling with a lot of military guys (who are also using green duffel bags) and you want to be able to pick yours out on the luggage carousel or duffel pile, wrap a bit of pink duct tape around your bag. You'll catch a lot of grief for it, but you'll get your bag and be out of there before the others are done looking at each bag's name tag to see if it's theirs.
