As per usual the FREE shipment came in earlier than expected. This duffel bag is a beauty: sporty, classic. Very recognizable on the belt. But the best thing about it is the way it was designed. The best things: it folds open, and the top part zips close with a see-thru mesh. Right now it holds all my ski stuff: thermo underwear, ski pants, jacket, socks, hat, gloves, and still has more space. De bottom holds (neatly kept in place by a ajustable crossing strap with a separate bag in the middle) a whole week - or more - of clothing 'off piste' - jeans, thick woolen sweater, etc, etc - and still not full. Then there are a few very practical side pockets. The wheels are just a little bigger than the usual, which makes the bag roll easier over uneven surfaces. Main zipper is sturdy and will last a long time. Even if it would have been full price, the bag would have been worth it.
