Rothco Mossad Tactical Duffle Bag

I ordered this bag to take it on a deployment training. The bag is very large. It was large enough to hold all my clothes, equipment, and the sleeping bag that I needed for the entire 7 days. The material seems like it is pretty good quality and held up well. The bottom of the bag is some type of plastic material and I have some concern of the durability and longevity. I haven't had it long enough to comment on it, but so far I was really impressed with it. If you are looking for reasonably priced tactical duffel bag, then you have just found it.

The design may be good in theory, but the materials and assembly are the cheapest the manufacturer could find. The straps, rather than being nylon or some other strong material, are cheap cotton. Two of them tore on my first use of the bag. One just ripped in two, and the other tore out where it attached to the bag. The handles (also cheap cotton) are starting to tear out as well after the bag's first use! The strap and handle attachment points look nice and strong, but the straps are barely inserted into the gussets. It looks like the stitching holds the straps in a large x-pattern, but in fact only a thin line of stitching holds it about 1/4 inch from the end of the strap. This bag is made to look strong, but it poorly made and not worth the money.

My recommendation is to shop further and find a better duffel bag that is made of better quality materials and assembled with more care. It does hold a lot, but it better be lightweight stuff if you want the bag to survive the trip.

Buy Rothco Mossad Tactical Duffle Bag Now

I purchased this bag to replace a cheapie that recently ripped. Although the pictures don't show it, the bag has the following features: a rubberized bottom that would appear to be water-resistant if not water proof; the backpack shoulder straps that you can see hide a cleverly concealed zipper that runs the length of the bag between the shoulder straps and is opposite the rubberized bottom. I was afraid that the bag would be a "top loader" old style duffel bag (which I did not want). Inside the bag there is a concealed zipper pocket and on the outside there are some additional pockets or pouches. They look like they are about the right size for an AR mag, if that gives you any sense of the size. There are also two grab handles on the bag, so you can carry it like a regular bag without using the shoulder straps. Made in India the bag has a pretty potent smell out of the package. Let it air out before use or speed it along with a liberal application of Oust or Lysol.

I plan to take this bag to Europe next summer. The shoulder straps will permit me to load this up like a backpack (and they tighten down just like a hiking bag strap would). I've loaded it up for a weekend trip and plan to give it some hard use this spring. Overall, it is just what I needed!

I bought this product for a trip to South America; it's light in terms of weight, has a bunch of external pockets and great internal space; however after my first trip start to begin unravel, so I lost the confidence on the product

I bought the bag for my camping trip in Arizona. There are things you have to be aware of.

The price and the design is excellent. However, the material not so. When I received it the bag was folded and because of that the bottom part, which should be reinforced with a durable plastic, was already cracked on several places as well as in one of the corners. I didn't have time to return it so I brought it on the airplane the way it came. After I received it back on the airport in Las Vegas also the cotton fabric was ripped off exactly there, where the hole in the corner was.

I did not have any troubles with the zipper as many were concerned with.

Overall, the shoulder straps were very comfortable, the adjustments were also fine and as I said a good price too. I just wished the plastic on the bottom would be made out of better material. Then it would be an excellent bag. Since it s not I would not recommend it to a friend or anybody else. If you'd like to buy a nice duffle bag look for a Cabela. They seem to be better.
