j. duren organizer

A serious expedition style extra-large gear/travel duffel. Perfect for extended vacations or gear-intensive expeditions. very rugged, adjustable, sturdy wheels and handles, and generally miles above the other wheeled duffles I looked at - no comparison. I will probably also purchase the smaller size for shorter trips and just give up suitcases altogether. A must-have for workout fanatics, the revamped Locker Bag has a redesigned door, more durable fabric and more eye-popping colors than ever before. I''''ve been a traveling tennis player for 20 years and this bag is the best thing I''''ve found for organizing my attire and accessories. I carry it in my trunk and I am now prepared to play at a moments notice. I no longer find my deodorant or toothpaste smeared over my shirts or stuck in my shoe. I can go away for a week at a time without checking luggage. I would nominate this bag for a place in the luggage hall of fame! A 3-4 day gear/travel duffel with a drop-bottomed compartment for extra storage. Also converts to backpack carry.

I have had four other briefcases before this and this is the best because it is light and not too bulky, but it can expand alot when you stuff it. I took it on a trip to spain with the matching 22 inch upright carry-on suitcase (see my other testimonial on that one), and it works great with that. You can put the handle up through the flap on the back and carry them together, or you can strap it on the back of the suitcase (I prefer the latter, it balances the load perfectly and it is easier to take off everytime you go through security). The strap is comfortable and the bag lays nice and flat when it only has my computer in it. Looks great too!

The feel and look of the leather on this bag is terrific, as is the construction. I love the way it is organized and I can always find whatever I want in the bag. The design is good looking and all the hardware is attractive. My only complaint is the Velcro closure between the front and rear compartments. It does not stay closed. I will need to have this bag repaired/modified in order to wear it with confidence that my cell phone and glasses won''''t fall out! I travel monthly and the Perlina backpack bag I was using wasn''''t big enough for my trips-this bag is. I just got back and am pleased to say that everything fit just fine-glasses-three pairs, keys, wallet, lipsticks, 2 small books, etc. I really like THIS bag (and I''''ve tried many!) It''''s roomy; its deep; it has a section for my phone; it has credit card slots; it even has a small leather.
