A practical duffle bag

About 10 years or more ago prior to leaving for Asia we bought a massive wheeled duffle from Eddie Bauer - I hadn't really gotten a clue with packing light and I think I probably thought they didn't sell decent clothes other here. The bag is so big that I think we have only used once since that first trip. Too impractical. Well this past trip home with 2 kids and all the clothes that they will be given when they get there we decided to haul out they old bag. Unfortunately in Taiwan neglect often brings growth of all kinds of things and the bag with it's thin film of mold and rot is destined for the recycling bin. My wife not being one to want to spend any more money on a bag than she absolutely has too (opposites attract?) sent me an email asking my opinion on this bag from Sears Canada.

Trager doesn't seem to be making duffles anymore so a quick search reveals these practical duffle bags from MEC. They are made of 370g 1000-denier nylon, reinforced with extra-wide 7.5cm webbing. Feature durable full-length #10 YKK zipper on top of bag, a contoured shape and side-zip pocket, heavy-duty D-rings for the included shoulder strap, and side-grip trunk handles. They have received good reviews and should stand up to the rigors of air travel. Up to $32.00CAN at MEC.
